Microsoft Security Essentials blocked tpc.googlesyndication.com hosted by seekingalpha.com.  I had to return to my homepage (not SA homepage).  This is the third consecutive day I have been unable to finish reading an article,  Thanks for looking into this.

Microsoft blocked www.dianomi.com hosted by seeking alpha.  The only permitted action was to return to my home page.  It's getting to the point where my only access to SA is via mobile.  Please fix this.  Thank you.

Hi folks.  This is a perfectly legitimate URL which is part of the Google Ads framework.   I just checked and Wall Street Journal WSJ.com and CNN.com both make requests to  tpc.googlesyndication.com.  Could you please let me know if these sites work properly on your browser or if you have the same issue ?

Microsoft Security Essentials just gave me the Unsafe Website Warning on tpc.googlesyndication.com and directed me back to my homepage.  I'm running Windows 7 Home Edition and Internet Explorer.  This makes reading articles impossible on my desktop.

Thanks for looking into this.

Legitimate?? When MSE AND Malware Bytes blocks this action and MSE shows it is a Trojan downloader or something I DO NOT consider that legitimate.

MSE warning constantly popping up warning me of a Trojan downloader today the 24th. I notice it happens only when in the news section and not on SA home page. FIX IT!

Well same thing again today the 26th.  Both MSE and Malware Bytes produced a notice. When on the SA homepage it's OK but try to go to news and read something the red MSE warning page lights up. So SA has basically become unusable.
