I have ordered from SWFA in the past and consider them to be a good vendor.  Good prices and great service.

For about a week now I have been getting a Microsoft pop-up warning telling me that there is a trojan loading whenever I go to the SWFA site.

Is there a problem that can be corrected or have I screwed something up on my end?

Thanks,
OFG

Microsoft is biggest trojan installer themselves.
They installed some warning shield (icon) in my system tray that I cannot get rid of.

I quit updating Windows because Microsoft wants to install goofy program or utility that will tell me and them whether my operating system is a genuine registered copy.
I know what my system is. Don't need any of their help.

I went to SWFA site few times and did not see any Trojan warnings.
I use Trojan Hunter software and Trojan Guard is constantly enabled.
Also, Webroot Spy Sweeper warns me of unsafe sites, when I try to log-in.

They have a free 30 day trial offer.

Thanks Richard.

Now that you mention it I didn't have this problem until after I let MicroSoft install one of their "updates".  Yes, Big Brother is alive and messing with my 'puter.

The other 'puter running XP doesn't have this problem.
