    I keep getting the following message this evening when trying to access Boards pages.
    Fraudulent Web Page Blocked

    You attempted to access:
    http://www.boards.ie/search/submit/?query=glitches

    This web page is a known fraudulent web page. It is recommended that you do NOT visit this page.

    For your protection, this web page has been blocked. Visit Symantec to learn more about phishing and internet security.

    What's up? :confused:

    Getting it too here. It's seriously p1ssing me off; every single link throws up a warning page.

    Just to follow up on my last post (whenever it gets approved); run an update on Norton, then do a quick scan. Mine picked up a bunch of tracking cookies. I'm no longer getting that irritating error message.

    Same here. Writing this on iPad, PC is telling me Norton says NO.

    Boards ran into some issues with OpenDNS over the weekend (seemingly, it was incorrectly being flagged as a phishing site), and that may have caused this knock on effect. All should be back to normal now though.

    Thanks, Mark. Welcome to the team, btw!
