Question Phishing attempt

**csa** · 07-01-2018, 04:26 PM

Today, everytime I am looking at photos (mine, included), I get this notice. It's only happening here. BTW, I don't use Flicker at all.

Hi Carol... I seem to remember that Bitdefender has given a lot of false positives on this website and others, but hopefully @Adam will confirm there's no problem...

Mike, thanks! Strange, it just started today; and only on this site.

Doesn't look like a phishing site to me!

Adam, I'm going to just have Bitdefender disregard these "attempts". They are annoying, and as you said, it's not a phishing attempt. Also I've not clicked on any links; just viewing photos here.

Several of the anti-virus engines seem to be becoming a bit too sensitive lately. But maybe that is better than letting something through.
