It's an attack on the servers that are hosing the site, and isn't a virus, if you go to the site nothing bad will happen to your compute… Continue

Hillary Clinton talks with Katie Couric about her proposed "gas tax holiday," which critics say is politically motivated, and the upcoming primaries in Indiana and North Carolina...
