Title: Wow! I've never seen this happen before.
Post by: skrogman on January 16, 2014, 12:08:55 am: I'm a little disappointed. I was just in the middle of a My Thought Counts Survey when I got a "potentially hazardous" message from my computer. That hurts when it's a dollar survey. But, oh well, I guess I just go back and try for another. That just seemed very weird to me because it was an Ipsos survey and both Ipsos and My Thought Counts are long-standing survey companies.

??? :-\

Post by: countrygirl12 on January 16, 2014, 10:25:38 am: Idk. I have a site I visit almost daily and my virus protection tells me every day it is a dangerous site and it is not really who they say they are. But I have used it longer than FC and they are totally legit. So I click I understand the risks and tell it to let me on thru. I wouldn't always do that though. lol :o

I just completed a MyThoughtCounts survey and didn't get any messages like that. Have you run a virus scan or checked for malware?

Post by: skrogman on January 17, 2014, 02:14:04 pm: Thanks, BlacksheepNY. Yes, I have AVG and let the scan run on my computer and it says I am okay. It's just so rare to actually qualify for those dollar surveys. :moneymouth:
