If I had been on an IBM, I would have fried my computer! EVERY Bargello I clicked on, came up with an automatic 'Apple' warning of it being an 'attack site! Thank the angels above, I bought a Mac. Please be careful and DO NOT click on any Bargellos! (An 'Apple' warning means that the site has been detected to have virus', worms, trojans, etc.) I want to stress that EVERY Bargello image said this, I checked for you. Play safe on the 'net. -Kelly
Quilter's unite!
Please don't be afraid to searh for free Bargello patterns. EVERY pic DIDN"T have a virus. It was probably just a "warning" because anything your computer downloads has a "potential" for viruses.
Think about it, each one of those are from a totally different site. All of them are not going to have a virus. I just did a search for "free bargello" and got over 5 million sites. Do you see what I'm saying? Thats at least 5 million different blogs, websites, stores, etc. ALL of them couldn't have a virus.
Thanks stef for your advice, it is most welcome. It is the first time I have ever had a problem in years of using computers.
