Starting a few minutes ago, every NSN page is making PC-cillin go mad with phishing warnings. It is the Google ads doin it—which I have always left on. It seems most likely to me that the most recent pattern update is just a bit sensitive, and I should just turn it off, but I raise it here in case it is something more severe. Also, I'm especially concerned that it will have any new visitors do exactly what they are told and close the page and never come back.

OK, it's not just NSN, it seems to be every site with Google ads (which is a surprising number of the sites I usually visit). Trend need to fix their program...

Neil, I'm using Firefox and IE 7 (sometimes) and a Hosts file (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm) and never see any Google ads. The hosts file prevents access to most of the advertising sites.

Check it out and see if it helps.

Thanks for the note, Neil. Sounds like an issue for Trend Micro but other NSN users may be getting the same thing...
