You're talking about a different link; the one in my post above was 
provided by Scott (and my email and its "you" was addressed to him).

You're talking about www.tciconvention.com, but i still haven't 
understood whether you got a warning in your browser like i did in 
Firefox or whether your antivirus program produced the warning.

What browser are you using?

I don't understand what you meant with "Was  my  organization  LAN 
malfunctioning?" It's not your LAN that is allowing or blocking access 
to Internet sites; it's either an antimalware program or an intelligent 
browser like Firefox. Internet Explorer, at least my version, does not 
block access to www.tciconvention.com.

BTW, this looks like a very benign site, so i'm sure any malware there 
has been placed there by outsiders due to the site's lack of 
professional protection against malware and hacking.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
