Whenever I try to go to the City's Web Site I am getting the following warning from my virus protection. Is anyone else having the same problem?

| It means that site has a virus. Usually sites with advertising banners cause this and they steal your personal information and your computer will get the virus. Hopefully you have a good virus protection. I would not go there for a few days and it should be reported to the webmaster, who I believe is City Clerk Michael Martarazzo, unless that changed. |

I was able to get on okay. There are a lot of added flashy advertisements on there that are probably causing that, and it sounds to me like you got tagged by one.
I personally do not like the site because it's an open invitation to viruses. Also, it looks like a little kids myspace page, especially with the WWE Wrestlers under "Pride Progress, and Possibilities"
JMHO.
