    Tried to get to the forums on our "old site" and my AVG pro anti-virus stopped me several times, saying the site was infected. Anyone else run into this? Someone must really have hacked it good.

    Hit HNI and the corvette site. Interesting targets.

    They should have let everyone know that it was infected. Carelessness if you ask me.

    I made a new account over there, got all excited to be back, but then quickly realized that it sucked, so I doubt I go back.

    I keep getting anti-virus pop up windows saying that my computer has been infected.

    ...a little heads up would have been nice.

    They should just shut down the site for good! This site is way better so we should just stop talking about it all together! LOL

    I have McAfee Security Suite here on my main PC. It didn't pop up with an AV message/warning. My browser (IE8) totally locked up and froze the PC so bad, I couldn't even Ctrl-Alt-Del. I has to shut it down hard! :mad:

    "The other site" is now just a shell of its former self and is really sad to see.
