What is this? Pop up in Safari with red warning sign saying something about an ip address?
#8
Sorry. no screen shot. It really took me by surprise.

I had just purchased a sdhc card reader ($2.99 including shipping) using paypal and saw that it was marked paypal.hk (Hong Kong?)

After I paid, I had logged out and emptied the cache and quit per standard procedure. When I opened Safari again, I checked the outfit DealExtreme http://www.dealextreme.com/ on http://www.resellerratings.com/. They seemed like a legit seller, but it was just after this transaction that the "warning" popped up.

I wish I had the presence of mind to have used screen capture to preserved the message. It also popped up on my G4 Powerbook's screen which I had left online in Safari from earlier use. Sad

I do have two other computers on my "network." Mavis' intel mini is ethernet hardwired and my PB is connected by Airport (secured with password} through my router.

Also, I use Intego's NetBarrier X5 (client/local server). Shouldn't this protect me from any intrusion???

Btw, I wondered if there's any way to bring the warning boxes again?
