DU is an unsafe site?

I just got that flashed twice on my screen on a big red page.

Anyone else? What's that about?

Update: There it is again. Its when I click on the thread, "The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Is Detaining People for ICE"

"This website has been reported as unsafe.
We recommend that you do not continue visiting this website"

Close all open instances of your browser. Re-open (do not restore any websites if asked). Try accessing the DU post again.

If that doesn't work, then I would do a reboot of the computer.

And if that doesn't work, then I would be looking to do a Virus Definitions Update and then a full scan of my computer. Then do the same with malware. All this is very time consuming. Good Luck
