Had to laugh when ZoneAlarm Forcefield suddenly stopped me surfing the forum with this:

#this site is dangerous #zonealarm

    Please let them know. I've tried but they don't listen to me, I guess since I'm not a user of theirs. Assholes..

      Allen, even though I don't have zone alarm, I contacted them.

      Anybody wishing to do this, here is the URL for their contact page.

      ZoneAlarm by Check Point - Award winning PC Protection, Antivirus, Firewall, Anti-Spyware, Identity Protection, and much more.

      If they have enough complaints, hopefully they'll remove that message from
      their program.

        Steve,
        Thanks for the contact info.

        I just sent them this message:

        You have WF labeled as a 'phishing site' for your users. I have been a WF member for over a year, and there is absolutely NO PHISHING going on over there.
        We are 100,000+ members strong and one Hell of a community. Please fix the problem you have labeling this site a 'phishing' site, as it's untrue.
        Expect a lot more of these reports from other members as well. We're a pretty loyal group.

        Maybe if they get enough emails from us, they'll take it seriously. I dont' know but it's worth a shot.

          Marcus, good point, however, there is some TROLLING going on

          hehe... couldn't resist...

          I just sent them a message also. THX for the link Steven.

      Why not get a lawyer and sue the living bejeezus out of them?

      That is downright defamatory IMHO. If they did that to me, I'd be the new owner of Check Point.

      Gives me an idea. Someone run that test on the site in my sig and see what comes up.

    I've been using the paid version of ZA Pro for almost 5 years and never had a problem here.

    If I had to guess, though, I'd say that you might have viewed a post by someone who may have tried to put a cookie stuffer into his/her sig file. ZA doesn't like that.

    Just a guess.

    Anyone else experience this? I've never had a warning about this forum.

      I never had that problem when I was using Zone Alarm. I also have to second Kaspersky. I am currently using that on my work PC and it's fantastic.

      edit:
      Just wanted to add, if Zonealarm thinks this site is dangerous... maybe there's something to that. This is one of the best sites on the interwebz and one of the few I've cared to keep up with all these years.

    I got the message once. I reported it when I got it, and haven't had any problems since then. Don't know if it's because I reported it, clicked stay on this site, or what, but I no more problems.
