Malware is blocking my access to the Debate Politics thread titled "FBI Wants You to Identify American ISIS Fighters."
When I click on the thread I get a full-screen monster with a bright red background and white lettering that says:
Deceptive site ahead
Attackers on <site internet address for "political bullpen"- edit by USV > may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing your personal information (for example, passwords, phone numbers, or credit cards).

Back to safety
I made the edit because spelling out the entire site address generated a link which I do not want to do.
I would try to provide a screen shot but I am afraid that copying the goddam thing to my clipboard will lead to problems.
I have never heard of "political bullpen" and I have never encountered this malware before, which leads me to believe it may be a Debate Politics issue and not an issue with my PC.
I hope this information is helpful to DP. Please let me know if there is anything I can do on my end.
