I was browsing various sites looking for free stocks/charts and out of interest clicked one of Google ads. The I got this message:

On top: Websense
and then "This site is blocked from Financials and Data"

and then I got message that mentioned 60 minutes and a quote. I clicked on "Quote" and got to the website.

What the heck was this? Did anybody get this message before?

Do you by chance have a firewall installed that has some sort of web content filtering enabled? Or did you click the ad from at work?

Websense is a content filtering package, usually used by businesses to prevent their employees surfing non-work related websites.

The place where I work used it for a while, then moved onto another, equally annoying system :)

Rodney: - Because I get tons of totally unrelated results.

DonMateo: - Yes, I clicked it from work. It was not my website, as I also use this office computer to check my adsense statistics several times a day.

Mad4it: - Now everything makes sense, thank you!

That's weird. I did a quick search and the very first result was the websense company website explaining their software and what they do.

Rodney: - I find more value in DonMateo's and Mad4it's opinion, than from Google's search results that in my opinion returned unsatisfactory results. And how do you know that the company "Websense" is related to websense message that I got? You don't know that, neither do I.

I guess that is your perogative to choose to believe the opinion of 2 random people you don't know over imeprical data that could be found of your own research (not just of google, but of msn, yahoo, or other major search engines).

How do you know the message you got was related to the 2 poster's opinions?

No worries though, if you were happy with the answer you got, then the issue is taken care of.

You just posted that you weren't getting a response, so I pointed you in the right direction (since we can't give out URLs in the forum).

The websense company that I found in my search said the same thing that the 2 posters said. So I was just trying to help you find your own answers so you didn't have to wait for others.

Like I said...no worries, you got it all sorted out :)
