I have attempted quite a few special offers and my internet security flashes open and states that the particular page is known to be unsafe. :confused1:  I won't name the specific offer(s), but one involves downloading games and the other a toolbar download.  I am skeptical that these offers are really unsafe, perhaps it's because my internet security sees it as a soliciting website.  No idea. :dontknow:  Anyone tried any special offers that you know are safe?

I don't remember any specific names, but there have been a couple offers that my antivirus warned me about and I did them anyway. I ended up with a trojan virus on my computer. Luckily I had the right software so that I could remove it right away. If you don't, this could cause a problem. So yes, there are some offers online that can give you viruses, especially if it is something you download to your computer. It's not Fusion Cash. They definitely don't give you viruses or do anything to your computer, and I'm sure they work hard to not use the offers that have these things, but with all the different offers available, it's gotta be hard to keep track of everything. If you end up with a big problem, I would let support know so they can do something about it. I'm sure they would like to know so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Good luck.

It most likely is a false positive
