Caution for IE5, IE6 Users!

It appears that Internet Explorer version 6 (or less) users who do not have current Microsoft security updates may experience a virus upon entering this site. We are vigorously trying to determine what may be the origin of this problem.

Until we do, if you are an IE5 or IE6 user, please enter at your own risk.
If you feel your version is secure or you are using another browser, Enter the site here
If you came here from a link from the "Forward This Link" e-mail, you will find that page HERE.


If you have been infected with this virus, you will know right away, as the malicious code changes your desktop wall paper to a bright blue screen and displays a message that a virus has been detected. (see below)

It will then display a popup with a selection to answer "yes" or "no" as to whether you want to remove this virus. DO NOT SELECT EITHER! Instead, move the pop-up window to the side and follow these instructions from TrendMicro.

We have not been able to recreate this problem. If you have been infected, and you can relay the exact steps leading up to this event, please call toll-free at 877-376-7544.
Thank you
