Security Warning About Blog Catalog
I was surprised as I want to open blogcatalog.com. I was not able to do so because my internet security blocked it due to below reasons. I have been using and opening this site because I am also its member. I also have some blogs listed on this blog directory site.
I was also wondering because I can’t see anymore the widgets of BC in my sites. Any idea what’s wrong with it? I tried to check on the code and it is still there but there are no widgets showing on my sites.
This is the message that appeared as I tried to open BC. I even made a screen shot of it below. This is also the first time that I used Trend Micro Internet Security because it is already installed in my new Notebook which I am using at the moment. I can use this internet security for free in three months.
Anyway, here is the message that appeared on my screen everytime I tried to open blogcatalog.com.
“Opening this website may put your security at risk
