Major Problem with the website
Okay, so I log on to Scratch as usual.
Then, I tried to search something in the searchbar.
Below every result it said, "This site may harm your computer." and when I clicked on the place I wanted to go, this screen came up! What's wrong?
The sentence below is a lie.
The sentence above is the truth.

Re: Major Problem with the website
It didn't happen to me, but that is strange. Are you sure you typed in the right web address? I know sometimes I mean to say: scratch.mit.edu but sometimes I end up doing scratch.com , or other variations.

It may be rogue software causing it. Scan for viruses on your computer. Antivirus 2009 can cause this.

Woo, even better minecraft clone! | I feel that programming is better than animation, because you can interact with games but not animations.

I have a reliable virus scanner, (Avast) and it automatically lets me know if there's a problem because it always scans in the backround. So I doubt that a rogue software is causing this. However, about 2 hrs. ago, the problem stopped. However, it is quite peculiar.

Also, I know Antivirus 2009 is a scam, and I do not have it on my computer.

Re: Major Problem with the website
We use Google as our search engine and it seems like Google was having some major issues for a few hours. It even was on the newspaper. See: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/01/technology/01google.html
