That message would come from their optional Link Scanner plug-in. It checks a database of known-bad, or known-to-be compromised websites and warns you if you are about to go to one of them. You need to disable JavaScript in your browser if you wish to go there anyway. I recommend that you install the NoScript! add-on to your Firefox browser, then proceed with caution if you think the message is in error.
If you are browsing with Internet Explorer, all bets are off if you go to a hostile website. You will be pwned.

Thanks Wiz!
I called my provider and a file with java script had foreign code in it. He removed the code and now it is fine.
Wiz as always thank you so much. I support your products and encourage all my friends and family to used your site and your products. They both said "okay"
