The explanation given by Chuck Fickens I feel is correct., and I do not think there is anything to fear. All will be put right, in due course.

Apologies for the wrong link in my PS. I intended to give you the one where AB's Ed gives an assurance that there is not any malware issue and his advice is ..."Just click 'Ignore warning' "

Stupid me....Ron
im getting that message too, i have to use IE to get into this site
Just logged on,

I am still getting this '' Reported Attack Page Warning ''!

How can I get rid, I am on Firefox?
Either use IE or ignore the warnings until the AB techies fix it.
I use Microsoft Security Essentials as my Anti Virus Anti Spyware Programme and I have not encountered any 'False' warnings. Got rid of AVG as it was a bit of a Pain !
AnswerBank is safe to use.
We can all rest easy in our beds now, Redman. BTW, I got the virus warning as well.
''use IE''

Yeah right... I'll stick with FF and risk having my Hard Disc wiped thanks ;-p
