Dear helpful quiltmakers:
Again, thank you!
I still would like to access this particular site-the conversations (not online chat). Clicking on "Main" or "Recent Topics" or "Pictures" doesn't connect me to here.
Help!

I am also getting warnings from my computer "this may be a scam". It sounds like the admin. needs to make some changes to clear the problem for us. I'm sure they're on it and doing the best they can to clear it up- this is a terrific board!

Hold down the ctrl & alt button (bottom left side of your keyboard) at the same time and hit delete. This will bring up the list for your task manager. Then high light the one you want to get rid of and click on end task. Good luck.

OK I'm ignorant. Where is the task manager?

Duckie, just bookmark it and it will save it for you or look under the "my posts" up at the top and you will see all the different posts you have replied to on here. crafty_linda_b

I have received them (not from Cisco but Trendmicro).
I just started a new main question before I read yours.
I have gone on 2 times since and had no problem, I
just hope this is a hoax.

Do a virus check on your computer right away. If you have malwarebytes software use that. It could be an adware virus. You can find malwarebytes online for free. Also a more sophisticated one for little money. It has saved my behind many times.
DON'T click on any of those sites with a warning. I did once and could not get rid of the program that came up that said I had a virus and had to buy their software! It is a scam that can really tie you up.

Anyone else experience this?
Also, I clicked on past message board sites-same thing happens, whereas it has never contained this warning.
I'm confused!

Just a note to you all....unless the pop up warning is from your OWN virus program, typically this is an ad. Someone is trying to get you worried about virus' in your computer. They want you to buy their product to "protect" your computer from viruses. I have done this and lost all administrative rights to my system. Please be careful!

I also have gotten that message. I use Trend to check for virus but I shut it off as it would not let me into quilt board for the past 3 days.
