gettting security warning?

[flhiker]

Hi all, I have been getting a security warning only when I open OB and every time I open anything OB related. The warning reads:

current site: http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com
trusted site: res://ieframe.dll

It ask me should I trust it or not. I always say no but it keeps showing up every time I open anything OB.

Not me. Wonder what you're experiencing?

run your Adware proggy or whatever it is you use for malware & your virus checker .. looks to me like a hijack attempt. But I'm no expert..

sounds like a virus to me too, i know they occasionally pop up in the ads on the page, there was one my virus scanner caught yesterday.

Not me . what are you using Firefox or Explorer ? Gin

Ummm...don't know what it could be. I use IE7 for my Browser with Trend Micro AntiVirus software. I have a firewall in my router that also uses dynamic IP addressing to block intrusion attempts. I do a complete scan daily and haven't had anything show up for a couple of weeks.

I think your browser is identifying OB stuff that you open through google as advertising and asks you if you want to trust it as a valid site. The syndication is the routing address for google ads as well as links through its mail program. Are you getting this when using a google email address.

Have you tried using firefox to see if the problem happens with it too? That is part of the reason I use only Firefox. I was getting tired of the problems with IE!

Dave, I have no idea why that is happening but the suggestions above all sound valid.

I have both IE and Firefox on my computer...Firefox opens to Orchidboard as my home page and the favorites in it are all orchid-related. IE is used for anything else

Thanks everyone, I have IE7 and comcast with mcafee anti virus/spyware. I ran both and they did not find anything. but still I get the warning only on the OB. I will have to get my neighbor /computer expert to come over and see.
