    My AV/Mal software (EmsiSoft) flags this page: [^] : As containing a link to "ay.gy" which is apparently a "revenue generator" link compressor kind of service run by some outfit called "AdFly." First time I've seen this one. cheers, Bill

      Did you look at the page source?

      Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

        I checked the source code of this page. There is no link containing ay.gy. Only place where gy comes together in this page is where they used the word technology. Something wrong with your computer? May be some add on polluting the page for you?

            The page looks legit. Just set your AV software to allow pages from MSDN.

              You can always check any page at : VirusTotal - Free Online Virus, Malware and URL Scanner[^] It's a great resource. Scans with 64 different virus scanners. Here's the result for that page: Scan report for https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.propertygrid(v=vs.110).aspx at2017-04-17 11:54:38 UTC - VirusTotal[^]

                I have not heard of most of the virus tools. Is that good or bad, I don't know. Kaspersky was there, though.
