gettting security warning?
Hi all, I have been getting a security warning only when I open OB and every time I open anything OB related. The warning reads:
current site: http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com
trusted site: res://ieframe.dll
It ask me should I trust it or not. I always say no but it keeps showing up every time I open anything OB.

  Not me. Wonder what you're experiencing?

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

run your Adware proggy or whatever it is you use for malware & your virus checker .. looks to me like a hijack attempt. But I'm no expert..

Ummm...don't know what it could be. I use IE7 for my Browser with Trend Micro AntiVirus software. I have a firewall in my router that also uses dynamic IP addressing to block intrusion attempts. I do a complete scan daily and haven't had anything show up for a couple of weeks.

I think your browser is identifying OB stuff that you open through google as advertising and asks you if you want to trust it as a valid site. The syndication is the routing address for google ads as well as links through its mail program. Are you getting this when using a google email address.

Have you tried using firefox to see if the problem happens with it too? That is part of the reason I use only Firefox. I was getting tired of the problems with IE!

Dave, I have no idea why that is happening but the suggestions above all sound valid.
I have both IE and Firefox on my computer...Firefox opens to Orchidboard as my home page and the favorites in it are all orchid-related. IE is used for anything else  |
