Just a heads-up. I visited GamingReport.com tonight (2/19) at 9pm EST, and I clicked on 'reviews'. The screen got extremely hinky -- started strobe-flashing, and text started scrolling. It read "hacked by The Turkish Warrior". I alt-f4ed out of there in a hurry.
Norton says everything's copacetic, but you can't be too careful. Figured I'd say something. Better safe than sorry.
Thanks for the heads-up. I hope they get it sorted soon.
Why would anyone want to hack perfectly benign sites like that?
FWIW, looks like it's been fixed.

Really? Not a fan?
Do tell.
I'm just guessing that clash might have been referring to the hackers, not to the Gaming Report.
!i!

Of course. Should have thought of that.
Was hoping for some truly lurid tales. Ah, well...

Dude, Norton is just about the most worthless anti-virus software on the planet.
Get a second (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/) opinion. (http://free.grisoft.com/doc/downloads?prd=aff)
