I feel I should mention that we got a phone call a few days ago, just around the time that Debra mentioned that she was getting a message about someone trying to download something. My husband took the call, and the person speaking had such a heavy accent that he could hardly understand it, but that person said that someone was downloading something onto people's computers, and he could hardly understand her but he felt it was something like maybe a virus. Anyway, he told her that we have a Mac and are not affected by such things and hung up on her because he suspected a scam, but now I'm wondering if maybe there is something that has been or is infecting computers through the internet.

We have not gotten any further calls about it and have not had any problems, but is there any way that those of you who are getting these messages can check your virus detection software to see if maybe something like that happened?

I checked mine (Kaspersky) and it hasn't reported anything. Nothing in the reports, nothing in quarantine. Shrug!

Hmmm. I wonder if this problem/warning is related to some combination of platform/browser/Java. I use a Mac, too, and I have Java disabled in my browser (Mozilla), so maybe that has something to do with my not seeing the problem. I'll have to test the site using my Windows computer. Has anyone reported the problem to the folks at Blue J?

I have windows and no message/warnng came up for me when I went to their site. I do have Ad Blocker Plus so maybe any popup windows are blocked. I checked the history log and nothing was isolated as a virus.
