+susieice Posted May 5, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 5, 2010 He's trying to cause the blackout!!!!! Did yours do the same thing. Wonder if we're OK. I ran scan. Definitely said virus was detected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchers Posted May 5, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Did yours do the same thing. Wonder if we're OK. I ran scan. Definitely said virus was detected. Hah, no. I read your warning and didn't touch it. Hopefully YOU'LL be ok. Haha, I'm only kidding. I'm sure you'll be fine. If your AV caught it, you should be good.

Paranormalcy Posted May 5, 2010 #7 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) As I edited the OP and stated, I used Norton Safeweb, not that that magically proves it, but it came back negative for threats on the site, but better to be safe - I urge people to find an alternate site for this article if it's setting off virus scanners, and maybe post the alternate link if you would be so kind. -Para I've found an alternate site for this: http://randysright.wordpress.com/2010/05/02/us-orders-blackout-over-north-korean-torpedoing-of-gulf-of-mexico-oil-rig/ Where this was also posted: SilenceDogood2010Just FYI; The EU Times is reported by some to be a “Skinhead” site. If you snoop around on the site, it does have SOME questionable content. I would also like to pass on that tonight, on 2 separate occasions, I was “Re-Directed” to other sites while the EU story page was loading. Please use caution when visiting this site. Respectfully submitted by SD2010 I'm afraid I'm rather skeptical that North Korea torpedoed a US oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico and nobody knows about it because there's a "media blackout". The very medium that this "story" is POSTED ON would have millions of blogs burning up the interwebs... where do people come up with this poppycock.
