So, for those of you who have had an alert...what browser are you running? Internet Explorer, firefox, safari, etc? Do you all have Norton or some other antivirus/malware protection software?
Just trying to figure out if there is a pattern here.

I have had 6 intrusion attempts in the past few days. I run IE and have Norton. Two of the attacks came from IP address 178.17.163.189, three of them came from 178.171.63.115 and one came from 95.168.185.234.
All of these events took place while I was on TOTV, on various different threads. A couple of them popped up immediately after I entered the site, before I clicked on any specific thread.
It could just be a coincidence that I’m on TOTV when it happens, but this is an unusually high number of attempts. I normally only see this kind of thing 2 or 3 times a year, and that’s usually when I inadvertently follow a link to a hoakey website.
