    Strange!! I was kinda curious and went to Straight Razor Place web site (since I used to belong) just to see what it looked like and got a warning from my Anti-Virus program!? Surely they don't have Covid-19! Hope my computer didn't catch it for the few seconds I was there. But seriously, I'm kinda confused as to why my Anti-Virus program would sound an alert.

    I experienced that too. If you go right to the forums section, rather than the front page, you dont get that. Weird.

    Strange. What sort of warning? Do you remember the exact wording of the warning? I paid the site a visit or two and I never saw anything funny, on my Linux box, with Firefox for a browser. No antivirus here, of course. If it was just an expired security certificate or something like that, I wouldn't worry too much about that, unless you do a lot of sensitive stuff on that computer. Check with the site admin.

    First time I visited I got the same warning, followed by one of those annoying pop ups "Congratulations, you are the so many millionth visitor, click here to check your prize". Very hard to get past. Today no warning but the same pop-up again. Looks like they have a problem with their security.
    The warning came from McAfee warning me that the site was not safe, hackers might be able to watch my activities and asking me whether I still wanted to visit the site.

    I just went to the site, no warning and no popup on my computer. Maybe it is WinDOHs specific? Anyway maybe the Admin of that site should be advised about the warning and popup.
