Answer» Watch out if you surf MLB.com
I have been redirected from MLB.com pages to a page that gives the user a virus and then offers to scan the user's PC for viruses. Their intent is to sell anti-virus software. This has occurred several times over the past week or so and it only happened when I was on the mlb.com website. Fortunately my anti-virus software (MICROSOFT Security Essentials) caught and quarantined the virus. I contacted mlb.com tech support to inform them of the situation only to have them spin it and say it was my fault because I'm not using IE ver 9. When I got the virus again the next day I emailed them and told them to cancel my subscription and give me a refund. Giving refunds is something they just don't do. But they did in this case. I will not go to their website again. If they can't control users being redirected from their website to sites that give viruses, I don't WANT any part of them. The next time it might be a virus that the anti-virus software doesn't catch. I spent a week and many $$$ recovering from one such virus in February. Not again, if I can help it.<Post split>

Not necessarily.
If your computer is infected then something on MLB.com may be triggering the re-direct. You should run our recommended scans and post the logs in this topic. Better SAFE than sorry.
