BradV BradV Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2006-08-16 Posts: 687 Loc: Maryland, USA	Did anyone else get that weird screen when trying to connect to kixtart.org this morning? It was asking me to validate some visually modified text because it said someone at this site has a virus. I just closed the window.

BradV BradV Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2006-08-16 Posts: 687 Loc: Maryland, USA	It happened again on Friday. I took a screen shot and put it in a PDF file, but I'm not sure how to attach it to this post?

BradV BradV Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2006-08-16 Posts: 687 Loc: Maryland, USA	Well, that is why I was trying to figure out if this is really part of kixtart.org, or if someone is hi-jacking the connections and trying to get people to download crap in the guise of fixing a virus. It can be very dangerous.

BradV BradV Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2006-08-16 Posts: 687 Loc: Maryland, USA	I doubt that. I don't have admin privileges on my Internet workstation. It was just freshly installed. If it is just happening to me, I'll suspect it has something to do with the corporate proxy. I was just trying to figure out if: kixtart.org actually had some such thing configured if someone was intercepting the packets if it was some function of the corporate proxy Regards, Brad
