When i tried to enter the "new sammy interview from AOL", my macafee sight popped up sayiing it was a phishing sight and reccomended blocking it.

What does that mean?
It wont let me into the thread, so i figured id post here in case there's a virus or anything attached to it.

that's weird... sounds like a hyperactive virus detector... phishing in and of itself is usually when you receive an e-mail from someone pretending to be a big bank, or eBay, etc., and they ask you to click through and "log in", trying to "phish" out personal info from (as little as your login password and login id, to as much as your social security number and other such things)...

Same here, figured it was the link or one of those alien posts we get from time to time that resets your homepage...
