For the past few days, every time I log on here, I get pelted with pop-up windows with security warnings. Any idea why?

I think this site has phishing and plants cookies on your computer. My Norton finds a 'low threat' tracking cookie here every time I do a scan.

This isn't the problem as the "spyware cookie" files that were plopping onto my desktop from this site a while back.

I have my computer set to refuse cookies (unless I manually change the setting for the few sites I visit that require cookies). I can read this site without any problems if I don't log in. And I don't log in unless I want to post something. Since last weekend, logging in has caused pop-up warnings, telling me that my computer's security system is being breached and unauthorized information is being transmitted. It only happens on this site, and it only happens if I log in.

Odd thing, though -- it hasn't happened since I started this thread . . . . Coincidence???

Possibly Vijay had a hand in that?

I haven't had any issues so I can't help. Sorry
