Goes to show that those that use IE, that did not experience the warning,
should not trust that browser.I would strongly suggest that all IE users
start using other browsers like Firefox, Safari, Chrome or Opera.

When I use IE I get the warning:

>>

The point is that I used Google to find the site. I do not have the site
bookmarked. It probably has nothing to do with the browser you are using.
Richard Ball has suggested that there may be a Google plug-in involved, which
may be. But, that lack of a plug-in cannot logically lead to some general
statement about which browsers people should use.

And, by the way, I generally use Firefox.
