The problem I experienced was, AVG gave a warning. Then a pop-up, from some other, unkown anti-virus claiming that I had all the nasties in my puter. It then asked for me to scan immediately, when I clicked no, then it wanted install some type of anti-virus, without the option to click no, so I allowed the install. I've had this done to me in the past, several time. When I didn't have puter knowledge, I ended up getting a bunch of trojans, worms, and such other nasties, then was sending personal info. I tried to get my anti-virus program to clean out the mess but, ended up having to reinstall the operating system, which took several hours to reinstall updates and programs. I guess I should have written a better note about what I experienced when visited the link.
Might have been that someone cracked the site? I wouldn't want someone to have to go through the problems I've experianced in the past. If my anti-virus program pops up a warning, I then will not try to go on through the link. Just trying to help others that don't have such computer knowledge. I hope this will help people without the knowledge, for Identity theft is what these people want from you. It's with this type of experience I hope others will take to heart.
