What DNS server are you using? 206.26.36.34 198.107.0.14 I found a reference that says this happens from time to time with Safari, and to reset Safari and clean out the cache, and see what happens. So, next up, that is what I will try. -- Please note this e-mail address is a pit of spam due to e-mail address harvesters on Usenet. Response time to e-mail sent here is slow.

This is a feature that Google has to warn users that there are web sites which have been infected by third parties, and you should be warned that you might be infected by visiting this site. It is useful to email the web site owner letting them know that their site has been infected, many are unaware that they have been attacked in this way.

Thanks. It indeed arises when I'm searching for some type of information using Google. [How does Google manage to do _all_ the incredible number of things it does?!?!?] |
