Burda Style For people who sew

I just got a warning from Microsoft that they received a report about this site (I was on my wall page) contains harmful/malicious software. Did anyone else get anything like that? What does that mean and what do we do about it? I really don’t want to lose this treasure of a site, but at the same time I am afraid of computer viruses, etc.

  Hey Almatinka, Can you send me a screen shot and the link? This is the first we have heard of this and we take it very seriously!

    OK. Yesterday I was on my husband’s Mac and looking at Ichigogirl’s Afternoon Tea Top page. All was fine, until I hit “view all”. It then again gave me that kind of message about the malware. Only this time (remembering your request) I took a picture. How should I send it to you?

  Unfortunately, I can’t – it stopped posting it the next time I loaded the website. What happened was, I went to my wall page and a grey message box appeared that said the site had been reported as having malicious software or something like that. I clicked OK or whatever button was there in order to get through (too often I google something only to get a link that leads to a site, offering me to “get your free virus check”, so I thought it was something of that kind) . It opened the page, but at the top, at the very end of the address bar, there appeared a coloured block that showed the same message if you placed the mouse over the little triangle within it. I answered somebody on the wall, clicked the reply button and as soon as the page reloaded, that coloured block disappeared. I thought that maybe you, guys, were having some problems, that’s why I wrote to the message board. I am very sorry I didn’t keep any more data/screenshot/etc.

  Sorry to say but this site does have malware. i am currently trying to remove it from my comp. The downloads I downloaded today were the felted wool mittens, the felted wool sweater gloves, the marry #6042 and the instructions for the Marry. I know it was fromhere because this was the only site I had visited since I had just logged on. Also everything got messed up after the download of the instructions for the Marry. I am posting because I do love this site. But can not continue to download form here is this site is not secure.
