 * One of my clients emailed me a screen shot of a message that she gets when she
   goes to my website. I’ve not seen this (I also don’t use AVG) or any other kind
   of security message and haven’t had anyone else tell me about it either. Here’s
   a link to the image – it’s a screenshot that the client sent me and I’ve put 
   it on my site for you to see.

   Any ideas?? Thanks in advance! Christina
