    Web browser warning from RS6.com

    I have been getting a warning about this site trying to take personal info from my computer.
    Any idea what is going on??

    This site has been corrupted for years it seems, tough to say how malicious. I think it's some of the sketchy ad plugins, but the address has also been highjacked by spam companies. Also antiquated forum code could upset the updated browsers. I'd like to clean it up someday, maybe Erik will work with some of us on it...

    I am getting the same report. I increased the security on my Mac and I get a big red screen warning me of phishing. I was also contacted by my internet vendor they'd noted some unusual activity.

    This should really be addressed!

    Same here. It's been doing this off and on for a long while.

    Admin - please address this! Thx.

    I have flagged this to Erik a few times to no avail. I can't even log in to the site from my office any more as it's black listed. I can't access on my iPhone or Apple related products without acknowledging it's a phishing site. It sometimes redirects also. I access it on an old desktop machine all the time now.

    It has been flagged by google a few times before.

    The ad's on the site are from google.

    Now google claims that there's some strange redirect happening, but I cant find anything out of the ordinary - except from the expected redirect from www.rs6.com/ to www.rs6.com/content.php
    Adding a nice little signature

    ABP here, never seen an ad. Or a warning.

    Seems OK now, Firefox and Chrome on Windows were reporting issues before.

    The "malicious" redirect happens when searching from google (maybe other search engines too, I haven't tried). Clicking on a link in the search results sometimes redirects you to some advertisement page. And of course now that I tried to get a screenshot of it I can't get it to happen.
