The Desert Sun has been having issues. They say that since their public blogs have a lot of spam that Google flagged them as a malware infector. I don't use virus software but my browser issues a warning. No actual malware, to my knowledge, is being forwarded to anyone?

Wait? You don't use virus software? You really should, it is a bad world out there. Lots of good free options even.

I don't quite understand how blog comments could cause Google to flag them for malware. My hunch is it's from one of their damned popup ads. I won't go anywhere near mydesert.com without my adblocker running.

There is a great FREE antivirus software out there. It's called AVG Free Antivirus. I've been using it for years:

I use Macs. The only malware out there are a few Trojans but no viruses. I've used them since OSX came out-- about ten years-- with no anti-virus and no problems.

I always use adblock but to comment on TDS you have to turn it off. Weird.

Here is a link to a story talking about the increased attacks on Macs. I have seen several stories on this the past couple months, this was the first link I found. The are starting to come after you ... The days of Mac owners not having to worry about the bad viruses is coming to an end, better safe than sorry.

There have been a few new trojans but I know enough not to install those. I think most of the warnings come from companies hoping to sell software. I've heard those for years. I don't download stuff I don't trust so I'm not too worried.

Besides, I just inherited $14 million dollars from a relative in Nigeria so I can pay for IT support now if I need it.
