China's Great Ddos Cannon: https://citizenlab.org/2015/04/chinas-great-cannon/

Maybe HTTPS Everywhere or a switch to https might not be such a bad idea after all.

I use google chrome. It opens fine. Try IE11 or IE12 if you are on Windows 10. I open up in IE11 it opens fine as well

"Among the vulnerable products are security products (AVG Antivirus Free, Norton Security Scan, Bitdefender Free, Comodo Antivirus), Microsoft’s IE, Windows Media Player, Excel 2010, productivity tools (Box Sync, TeamViewer) and developer tools (GitHub, PyCharm, IntelliJ IDEA, PHP Storm, JDK 8u31’s installer)."
Avast isn't mentioned but an assurance from Avast would be appreciated.   Thanks

Yeah really hope that an assurance from Avast will be much appreciated. I have my desktop Windows 7 SP1 installed with AVG Free 2015 and I will make sure to keep that updated along with other programs such as Adobe, IE, windows media player, and etc updated. Same goes to my laptop that is installed with Avast Free and where I always use avast forum from my laptop.
