Wow... just had a flashbulb moment...
Among the resources I use for learning Spanish is my daily "Word of the Day" in Spanish from Transparent Language http://www.transparent.com . Then I thought about it... they also have a "Word of the Day" for ESL folks going from Spanish to English!! So, I subscribed to get that too... doubles my daily vocab building... for free!!
Double it Up!

Hi.
That was a good idea, but...
my Antivirus program (Trend PC-cillin) came with a red alert:

Wow... that's not good!
Never had that happen to me with that website... and I get several "Word of the Day" emails in a couple of different languages from them daily. Hmmm....

Hi again.
My virus program might be a bit too thorough. It might react to a cookie. I'm going to google a bit and try to find out more.

When I googled I found references to a hi-jacking threat, when searching trendmicro.com I found references to a trojan. Unfortunately I'm no computer specialist and I am not sure about the relation between the website and the alleged threat, sorry.

I use " word of the day " already for 4 years.
Never had a problem or virus.
