I replaced an aging PC yesterday with a new one.

Since then I periodically get a notice when browsing TBN that the site is unsafe and I should not proceed. It's not happening with any other sites.

What does it say when you click on "more information"?

I got this message the other day with an obnoxious alarm. I had to sign out of my laptop to stop it. I had clicked on Amazon prime.

I didn't ask for more information. I considered it an intrusion and just wanted out. Didn't even click OK.

I clicked the back button. Next time I will click more info and see what it says.

They are right! TBN can get you to spend way more money than you intended on stuff you didn't even know you needed. Probably should have warning labels.

I've been using Defender for many years and its never had an issue with the TBN site.

I'd never had a problem with Amazon Prime before either but it did that day. The next day I tried going to the same site and it popped up again. I quit using that entry and access Amazon thru a different portal and don't have any problems.

I'm not clicking on anything once I get that notice. I consider that click bait and put myself at risk. And on my laptop it doesn't even do any good to turn the computer off and back on. Only way I can stop it is to "sign off" and then sign back in. Go figure.....

Some sites are becoming unusable even from all the ads. The drive is unusable on mobile without ad block

This site isnt too bad but on a computer, ad block is a must have
