When I clicked the link, it took me right to the Youtube page. My security software will not open something that it has checked and is not safe. It will not open the link and the website address will flash red and it will say that it is not a safe file.
I am way behind in reading the emails, so maybe something was changed between the time that you clicked and the time that I clicked. I know when I read from the Hotmail website, I get many more links that won't open and they make little crackling noises when I try to click on the link. My Outlook goes through another whole set of scanning before it is downloaded and it won't open something if it has a problem either. These link emails with no subject are becoming more and more regular. That is not a good thing. I don't really understand why changing the password works to stop those, but it does. Times are much better now than in the past. I remember when I was working for the Children's book publisher that the CEO got some sort of a virus in his computer and it was sending documents from his hard drive to anyone and everyone that was in his address book. This was a huge breech and there was no way to know who got some very highly personal emails, too. I guess that is a good 'plus' for the antivirus softwares these days.they add hundreds of new definitions every day. That is not a good sign of some of the people in this world today.

If some one uses a link in their signature, or some other link, and if the link seems supicious it will put a Warning red triangle with a red X in the center of it, next to the link that it is picking up as having malware. It was next to Raven's Blog link. It has Not done that in the past for her Blog link, so I can only think that maybe she recently added a picture or maybe an advertisement on one of her pages, or some one posted a comment, and that is the culprit. I don't get any other info other then the warning and then I won't click on that link. I have no clue as to how she could find out what is causing it on her Blog page. But until that malware disappears from her page, I will probably see the warning in every email that she post to the group. -------Original Message------- From: Joan Croft <mailto:[email protected]> Date: 1/17/2012 1:16:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Story Time with Sierra Maybe I am seeing a different red x than you are. You were not able to view her video either? Everything goes through the antivirus, antispam and firewall before I can view it. I do get warnings about malicious websites but all the pictures that I get with red Xs open with a right click. I have had some warnings lately about YouTube videos, and I think that might be stemming from too many that are being uploaded that have some security problems with. My one friend send the little smiley faces that are from incredimail and my Outlook always puts them in a red x box. I think with the dawn of so many viruses and malicious things that are being spread through the internet, the security software is making more items hidden. When I know someone is sending me an email and puts those incredimail pictures in the body of the email, I don't even click on the 'x' to view the picture. A few years back, my computer got some sort of malware from the incredimail graphics that one one of my friends was using. I don't usually click on the red 'x' unless I know it is a picture that someone put in their email of their Chihuahua or something similar. I don't know what is wrong with my Outlook for the last week or so, it won't download anything for about five or six hours. I go to the Hotmail website and all the messages are there and it isn't until after I have been reading those on the website that the emails then come to my computer. I can't really figure that out.biggest new mystery since the time that I was getting emails that had no message, pictures or anything. After they were in my inbox for a couple hours everything would be deleted from it and only show who the email was from. I wrote to Hotmail and then it stopped several months later.

It was a warning for a malicious link, not a picture. -------Original Message------- From: Joan Croft <mailto:[email protected]> Date: 1/17/2012 12:33:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Story Time with Sierra The red X merely means that the picture may have not been downloaded for a variety of reasons. Just right click the red x and then choose show picture.

Something you added to the blog probably contains bad malware. Just thought I would let you know, as I have never seen this before in your link. How odd. How does one virus scan their blog? Raven
