I don't know if this is connected to this problem, but when I just logged in using IE I got a message that my anti-virus program (Avast) had blocked a malicious URL from loading. The reference to the bad URL was
"http://makemefeel.in/s/ceptlark.php?key"
NES loaded normally, and seems to be operating fine.

Stop using IE. Change to Firefox with the noscript add-on. You're welcome.![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")
Hmm let me try that...
I had gotten the virus warning and got redirected to twitter also. Using FireFox, I will add the noscript add-on.
It will be a bit of a pain for you at first, because you will need to allow the base domains of the regular sites you visit. One quick tip is that as you view the list of scripts for each page (options button on lower right of screen) if you mouse over one and press down on your mouse wheel, you will get a new page that lets you find out more before deciding whether to allow or not. Very handy.
If you're going to try firefox, another great add on is adblock plus.

This time around the virus attack is a bit different. My anti-virus sees it attacking two times per page and being denied two times in a row until I click the next page and then it happens twice again...and so on. Yes it's IE

This is working well so far, yes bit of a learning curve for it so I don't exclude a site that I actually did want but does not seem too hard to get it right.
Thanks for the recommendation.

Actually, I've been using Firefox and Thunderbird (for email) for many years. I reserve IE almost exclusively for my gun stuff. For some reason, IE does a better job at displaying inline pics on NES. Firefox was frequently giving me the cute little box with the "x" in it.
I suppose if I really wanted to beat myself up, I could go back to Netscape Navigator.

NES is the only site that intermittently causes this problem. It is only when I try to read a new page but not if I post a reply that the virus warning would pop up.

I deeply apologize for this. Issues with the ad server for the top banner ads.
Those responsible (myself) have served their lashings and remedied the issue, permanently.

No apologies needed. You guys have been great handling this site. Thank you.

No worries; this is a great site and the people who keep it going have my sincere thanks.
That explains it! My Firefox Ad Blocker add-on was killing all the ads before I could even see them, so that's why I never got the notifications.
