I know that many of us visit this older forum as well as Rennlist and I hope that this warning is not out of order.
Checking in on the .net forums I just got redirected to this serious warning from my McAfee Security software:
WARNING!
65.61.16.109/forum/default.asp may try to steal your information.
Why were you redirected to this page? We believe this site may be trying to trick you into entering your financial or personal information. This is a serious security threat which could lead to identity theft, financial losses or other dissemination of personal information.
Not sure of the validity of the warning, but McAfee is pretty good and I keep it constantly updated. With all of .nets security breaches it is very possible that a trojan virus has gained control of the site and is 'phishing' visitors for personal info. I'm going to stay away.
Sad.

I agree with Kurt. IMHO it is one of two things, the fact that it is an IP address rather that a fully qualified domain name or it is seeing one of the spam links. I did a quick look at the source and di not see anything nor did I see anything in my packet filter.
