Trojan on Free Republic?
I just went over to Free Republic a few minutes ago and all of a sudden my firewall (McAfee) went nuts. I backed out of there fast. Has this happened to anyone else?

Strange thing is it seemed to be blocking an outgoing packet. Very strange.

8. Free Republic is just a front for a kiddie porn site.
Of course that has nothing to do with this.
