Hmmmmmm, I'm not running av shield. I surfed to a site with SRWare Iron 5 Alpha. I got a popup dialog warning me the site had some nasties. Here's the thing though, in Options the protection for Phishing and Malware was not enabled!!
Makes me wonder if a) Phishing/Malware protection is enabled no matter the state of the check box. Or b) some moron thinks it's funny for his site to pop up stupid dialogs?
I'd ask on SRWare Forum but even on the English forum all the controls and instructions are in German.
edit: oh and I just remembered. In the download status bar there was some kind of crap like it was trying to download something. I killed the browser and ran a virus scan as quickly as possible so I don't remember the site or what any of the download thingies were.
Scan came up clean but it is weird.
edit2: come to think of it, I think it was just some stuff in the status bar. Nothing downloaded. Just seems strange.
