Odd one. I just opened fsu and a msg just popped up and avg said it prevented it from opening because it is a dangerous web page. Wth. Threat category Html:Script-inf [susp]. I scanned nothing there. I am using my cell which obviously doesn't have a problem. Cleared cache.......what am I missing?

I got a message from someone else about this.

She got a message saying infected with HTML: script-Inf (Susp) if that means anything.

I have been unable to access FSU for several hours because my Norton Antivirus software decided it was a dangerous website. I tried a bunch of stuff to get in, including turning off my VPN and restarting my computer after getting a message that the problem could be because the website was down. It wasn't; Sharpie confirmed that it was running when I messaged her through Facebook.

I am back on. It seems Ad Tracker Blocking was the problem. Norton did a bunch of updates recently and I guess that one took longer to go into effect or something and gave a false report to whatever decides websites are dangerous. Maybe. I don't really know why, but at least I'm back.

@pat c If you have Norton, go to Privacy, Secure VPN, and Ad Tracker Blocking and change the setting to off.

Can you (or anyone else this is happening to) provide a screenshot please?
I took one with my cell. I can't seem to copy it to here, so email or something and I'll send it to you.

It's a conflict with something. I had just finished installing a new printer and it kept updating the drivers. That's when the problem started. I still get the msg but now I can cancel it and read fsu. Before I couldn't and I did a virus scan, looked at my ad blockers and nothing stood out. Very annoying. Thanx for your answer, glad you're back. :)

Last night I also had that same message from my avast antivirus. I messaged FSU on FB messanger but wasn't sure if the FSU page was being monitored. I'm really glad all is back to normal this morning....
