Ever seen this before? I received it after visiting a well known, reliable site and just worried I have been infected?

Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent. Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems. |

Hmmm… What’s your AV program, Jerry? I run Avast and I got the exact same screen when I tried to access that URL just now. I wonder if someone or something has “compromised” that site.

Thanks, I am using my works laptop and had jumped to a site I normally use and after logging into this screen popped up. I am worried as I have a feeling my laptop has been compromised so will jump off and do a full scan.
I have been having problems recently as my NT account gets locked out when logged into my network so something maybe cloning my account details and this may be a symptom of the attack.

The site I was using was http://www.mapmyrun.com/ a very well respected website and whilst in the process of logging in the screen flashed up, I closed it and I was logged in into mapmyrun. I am hoping it was just a glitch being exposed whilst jumping between homepage and account pages as it havs not reoccurred
