Phishing site?!

SteamWake · 03-20-10, 10:44 AM

There is a post in the SH5 section where when I go to open it my virus protection pops up with a stern warning about 'This might be a phishing site'.

I was wondering how someone could do that with a forum post or my av is being paranoid.

ps I reported it to a mod but it might be a false positive.

I'll pm you with it but I really dont want to bust the guy's chops unless he deserves it.

Well my first pm to the moderators did not get sent... sigh...
