Has anyone else experienced something similar? If it was a real threat, I am glad FireFox blocked it before accessing the page.
 
Weird.....got the same message.....All of my security systems working and updated.....it runs a dailey scan...running one right now. Best regards, David
 
Same thing has happened with ebay. Some of the stuff they do, activex? scripts?, are so invasive they're seen as threats.
 
Got on ebay with no problems.....for me its just Beckett.com..complete scan of computer almost completed 97%....no problems so far. Best regards, David
 
My virus software also picked up "trojans" on the Becketts site yesterday.
I have not been there today to see if it is still there.
 
100% scan of my computer..nothing found. Guess I'll have to stay away from the Beckett website for now. Best regards, David PS Might try using the Kinkos computers.
 
I am running a full scan of the computer in safe mode now. 3 objects infected so far. Must be from the beckett site.

I have had same problem. Now when I try to go to site my computer warns me not to. I think they may have been hacked or had someone do something to their site.
 
i was on ebay and becketts all day yesterday and have had no issues i wonder if it is a firefox issue
 
I am getting it on firefox. But the message comes from google.

I never use the stupid site (paid for it the last 3 years) and now when I want to it is infected. Always something with Beckett.

I've been getting a warning for the past 3 days when I go to Beckett!

With all these problems they need to start refunding some money! Their customer service is garbage!
