My security plugins popped up this message when I went to comiccovers site...

Pretty sad. Rocket has made some pretty questionable security statements in the past. I'm going to add his domain name to my hosts file. I won't be able to visit after that.

To protect my board members, I've removed or broken all links to Rocket's site. This is being done as a security measure to protect myself as well as you guys. If you go there and a trojan is installed, it could collect the email addresses off of your computer and send me spam. Not interested in risking that.

Any chance you could e-mail Rocket and see what's up? I always thought he was a decent guy from talking to him on various message boards.

Email sent. I was concerned once in the past when he pointed people to some software and he told them to ignore the antivirus warning when you install it. I looked it up and found out it was flagged as being trojan software. I expressed my concerns about installing it and left it at that.
