    Anybody try going to CompTIA's website; I can't get to it. I just keep getting the following message:

    Reported Attack Site!

    This web site at www.comptia.org has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

    Attack sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.

    Some attack sites intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.


    WHAT'S GOING ON?????????:ohmy:ohmy:cry:

    It means CompTIA was a giant scam and our certifications are now worthless!:eek: And I have an exam in a few hours!

    Hehe but seriously, I have no idea, that's really weird, I'm getting the same thing.

    Interesting - going via google brings up the error page and lists some of those sites as linked...

    I suspect this is rogue adware in their pages.

    Same here getting the same message but I was able to get around it by clicking the ignore message button on the right hand side of the message. Also I have kaspersky and it didn't detect any trojans... maybe I should double check.

    I don't have the toolbar and it's happening with me. I am just using stock standard Firefox. Works fine with IE though, so must be a browser problem.
