I started getting this message for the first time today. I got it on both Internet Explorer and Firefox.
My computer scans everyday automatically, and it hasn't caught anything dangerous from the site.

My computer started redirecting me to that file2source site. Once that happens you are infected. My anti virus protection was not picking it up despite scans. I ended up having to delete numerous files that this problem seemed to attach to. Bottom line, something about this site caused it. I'm now posting from my phone.

Clear your cache and cookies... Just tried it in all three browsers and that pos IE and it's not happening. It doesn't download anything, it's a simple redirection hack that's exploiting the code used to make pretty readable urls.
To whomever asked, yes the Like features was part of that code.
Think it's time to dump the forum anyway and move to something more maintainable....

Oh, James, I hope you don't dump the forum!!! I know we all so appreciate everything you do for us. You know, people just complain sometimes...just like in real life. We're all such a family here -- I don't know what I would do if I didn't have all the friends I've made here to talk to every day.
I'm sorry you do so much work for us and you aren't appreciated as much as you should be!!!!! In any event, thank you so much for all that you do for us!!! I truly love this forum!!!!!

Ann05 that's not what I meant. I meant changing software to something more manageable. vBulletin has turned into an expensive beast and now it's got this problem plaguing it. Not good. Wonder if I could convert the whole thing over to wordpress....
Oh, good...thanks James!!!! Whew...I almost passed out...lol I don't have a clue how you do all of this, so I am so thankful for whatever you provide for us. Thanks again so much!!!
P.S. I'm on IE & I have never received the message.

I agree with you that this thing on firefox is really getting annoying but hey what can do you about this, but we just have to use Internet Explorer until this is fix on firefox and i'm still getting the warning.

You can just click ignore the warning on Firefox and you'll get through. It isn't a warning from your virus protection program just the browser.
