Issues Accessing Magnus' touch-the-banner.com
Has anyone else been getting a virus notification when trying to visit TTB? My virus protector notifies me every time I try to visit the page and lately I've been getting re-directed to bogus "Congratulations, you've won xxxx" page.
I just wanted to make sure Magnus had a heads up as well and this is really the only way I know of contacting him. This could definitely just be a problem with my computer but I thought it was worthwhile to post it in case it's more widespread.

I sometimes have the same experience on that site.

Nothing for me. Maybe it's your cookies? All good for me.

I got that too. I got around it by going directly to the blog section from Google

Don't buy the anti-virus guy a WalMart gift card.

I never get that far! For some reason they always hang up on me when I start laughing.

Happened to me yesterday twice. Working fine since then

No issues here on my desktop (Chrome) or on my Android.
FWIW I've found if you simply dump your cache & clear history you can eliminate that problem on a lot of sites.

I've had issues, mostly on mobile but sometimes off the laptop. I have DMed him on twitter so he is aware, but probably good to let him know when you notice these things.

I’ve had the same notifications, exclusively on mobile. Thanks for making the thread.

I started getting that bogusware pop up from his site. For a few minutes this afternoon, I couldn't get to his site from my PC at all -- not on Chrome or IE. I am able to from Safari on my iPad.

I've been having the same problem, and it just started in the last couple of weeks. It might happen 1 out of every 5 or 6 times that I visit the site. It had never happened to me in the past.

Yes. And it was so exciting. I won $72,000. All I had to do was give them my banking information and they said I would get the winnings in 3-4 weeks.

Thanks for letting me know. I will address it to the "behind the scenes" people again. It was already supposed to have been fixed...

I've been getting the same thing for a few days now. I have to try to open the page a few times, then it opens.

Happened again today
