Hopefully this site hasnt been hijacked, but as of friday evening, i have not found one update to this MS program.
Definition Change Log is the same one that i downloaded on Friday the 25th of Sept. i.e., Ver. 1.67.62.0
Would anyone know if the site is down, or has MY listing for this site been hijacked...
thanks for any info.

We are seeing an increased volume of traffic by some malware software. In order to protect our customers from damage from that malware, we are blocking your query. A few legitimate queries may get flagged, and for that we apologize. Please be assured that we are hard at work on this problem and hope to get it resolved even better as soon as possible.

I tried to do a search with Bing yesterday and the above is what popped up.

If my interpretation is correct, it seems Msm is under attack?

It may well be that your computer is compromised in some way.
You might care to try this online scan with SuperAntiSpyware to see if anything is flushed out.
