Phishing or malicious site warning at work

[Leejohn]

I'm on dialup and you can't believe the trouble I"m having. The one that I can't stand is, I have to wait until all of the adds load everytime I change pages and each time I go back. Keep getting stuff like soundguy posted. The threads not loading all the way and most of the time post quick reply isn't there. I think it's a mess, I have just been going to other web sites more and have no trouble.

Shame on you guys for surfing the net when you are supposed to be working. I don't do that, (not since I retired anyway). I wonder how many manhours are burned reading and answering threads on TBN?

Lunchtime is usually eating at my desk and surfing the internet. Slow days are better filled with TBN than clock-watching

Install Firefox with Adblock Plus and NoScript... That will cut out most of the ads.

As we all know, there are quite a few ads on TBN...no problems, since that's what pays for the site.
However, several ads (not just TBN) do try to track viewers (marketing data...nothing evil).
That could be what's causing the OP's problems.
It could also be the cookie TBN adds to your cookies directory.

I've worked at companies that block internet access for sales sites (Amazon was one), forums and social media, etc. That's fine with me since anti-virus and firewall software are not 100% effective and a company intranet can be vulnerable...and the results can be devastating...

many times i notice that it is not tbn itself that makes a security issue.. but one of the adds that sets off the cross site linking issue.
