My Firewall reported that deviantART is trying to attack me. Why is this happening?

Often Software Firewalls will send false reports to you stating that a web site is trying to attack you, in this case deviantART. This is simply not true. This report often happens while browsing or in your deviantWATCH or Message Centre. Such reports come because you have to load lots of data in to your browser cache and most often Software Firewalls will freak out during this procedure.

That said, simply put, we're not attacking your computer.
