Is anyone having malware-infection problems with Reuters.com ?
I have several RSS news feeds on my browser home-page, including Reuters World News and Reuters Business News. For the past 24 hours, or so, I have gotten the following warning from my Ad-Aware antivirus/anti-spyware app, whenever I try to access one of these Reuters feeds —
In addition to the Reuters feeds, I have the following RSS feeds: DailyFX, MSNBC, AP World News, AP Business News, Financial Times, Bizjournals.com, and Fox Sports News. All of these are accessible in the usual way, and are unaffected by whatever is screwing up Reuters.
When this started, I purged my computer by running CCleaner, and then ran deep scans with both Ad-Aware and Windows Defender. After all this housekeeping, I’m still having the same issues with the Reuters feeds.
I tried accessing Reuters directly from my browser (Google Chrome) by entering www.Reuters.com into the address bar (instead of clicking on the RSS feed on my home-page), and I got the same warning from Ad-Aware.
Ad-Aware says that I can go ahead and connect to the Reuters site, despite being warned; but, I have not done that.
• I’m wondering whether anyone else is having this issue?
• Are you able to connect to Reuters using the link which I provided, above?
• Is there anyone out there who has Ad-Aware antivirus/anti-spyware installed and running, who is able to connect to Reuters.com without a problem?
• If I’m the only person having this problem, does anyone have a suggestion for how to trouble-shoot the source?
Thanks, in advance, if you can help.
