DeSoto Parish online, you can use some other browsers in the area from 1957 forward but for stuff before 57 you have to use IE. For the past few days I have not been able to log onto GHS using Google Chrome, it trows a red screen saying something about the site having malware. There is no option to back out other than to click on the screen to accept where ever it wants to go. I am not one to click on something I don't ask for so I shut the browser down. Anyone else had a problem like this?

Very smart, Two Dogs.

Be very careful about any suspicious "security" warnings.

There is a LOT of malware/virus software out there that pretends to be valid security software to get you to click on something that then installs more malware. Then it will pop up more error messages, messes up your computer so that nothing works, and tells you to go to a certain web site to get the fix, which you have to pay for. Then you've given a criminal hacker your credit card info and will probably not get a real fix anyway.

The computer hackers are not teenagers playing games any more. It's professional criminals who are out there to make money. Some of them are pretty good at what they do.

Its just Google getting a dna sample from you to cross check with your personality test, criminal and traffic records, home ownership and insurance status, and facebook profile... no worries

I got it a couple of days ago, but the issue has been resolved. It is only a Chrome warning that GHS has a link pointing to a site that has malware, most likely in one of the ads.
Just another reason to use Chrome; the most secure browser at this time.

It is way the hell faster than IE. I am glad to know that it is a Chrome thing and not something in my computer.
