Wow! I've never seen this happen before.
« 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.

I hate getting those messages.  Never know if I have been infected or was able to get off the site quick enough.
Have a wonderful day!

I had just got one of those my virus protection said that it was dangerous to open this usually means that it is fake and it could cause a virus in your computer.

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?

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:
