Getting virus warning, safe on other PC?
I'm trying to open a website on my work computer, and I'm getting a bo:heap warning. I've read alot about how there can be false positives for this.

The website I'm trying to open is www.mugglenet.com and I was sent the link by a friend of mine whose son is in a contest to earn an internship abroad. I'm trying to log on to vote for him.

So, my question is, do you think it will be safe to visit this website from my home PC, or should I heed this warning and stay away? At home I have a 2 month old Dell with Vista, and IE8 and the free 1 month virus software (PC Penicilin, or something like that)....
