    My company's IT group has blocked PriusChat at work and the reason given was that "their filtering vendor has detected potential malicious embedded content on this site".

    Has anyone else's protection software had any similar experience?

    I have not seen any issues with my PC at home.

    That's not something I've seen here, but that doesn't rule out what your IT department has found.

    Yeah, I recall something about the ads, too. We've had threads on this topic before.

    There was malicious code added to some PriusChat pages over the last several days - it was targeted at Windows users. I have found the source of the intrusion and fixed all PriusChat pages.

    If you see something that doesn't look right, please let me know.
