Ummm, Rob? Is there a Problem?

I was in the "Yard Office" trying to open the thread "Whiz Quiz" when I got redirected to this page.  It won't let me copy and paste so I am writing it out, but you should be able to get the idea.

Warning: Visiting this site may harm your computer!

The website burningjournal.activeboard.com contains elements from the site www.nopactalent.com, which appears to host malware-software that can hurt your computer.

For detailed information about the problems with these elements, visit Google SafeBrowsingdiagnostic page for www.nopactalent.com

Learn more about how to protect yourself from harmful software online.

(box to check) I understand visiting this site may harm my computer.  Procede anyway (in a box)

Back to safety (in a box)


Ummm, is this something we should be concerned about or is it just my computer??

www.nopactalent.com uses anthracite coal to fuel their computers.

Black Dog uses a wood burner. Hence the message. If you had waited for your Norton Tube Version to churn away fro three weeks, you would have gotten the correct message on parchment.

Two things are bothering me about this post... "malware" and www.nopactalent.com

To me it looks like you were hit by a pop up trying to convince you something was wrong. It does this so you click it and get redirected to another site.

I am sure many have dealt with pops ups telling you "your computer has a virus", "your computer needs to be scanned" and similar.

These are not warnings from your virus protector on your computer. These are ads trying to get you to click the link. Some are genuine protectors just trying to sell you their software, and some are redirection links that can cause harm.

Malware is a program that will conflict with your computers program. It can make your computer freeze up, run slow, or it can cause a lot of damage.

We don't run any major programs on our site, it is a basic site. I ran a check through the website and everything does look clean.

The fact that is brought up www.nopactalent.com just makes me think it was an ad.

If anyone else gets this warning let me know right away.

Hope this helps.

She pictures BD as a bearded Paul Bunyan type with his wood-burning computer running Shutters 3.1ME. (Pre-window glass)

They use stone tools to work on it.
