I am not sure what's going on. I was browsing gamespot on my home computer, and before you know it, I was slammed with an IP Banned notification. I emailed as instructed, logged into gamespot with my mobile network, I need to know why this is happening. I have been a member of Gamespot since 2004, and have respected the rules.

Right now, I'm only able to log into Gamespot out of my house, at my job, and phone for now. It's my home that is IP banned.

@FireEmblem_Man: Oh no! We've unbanned that IP. You may want to run a virus scan as we detected some suspicious traffic coming from your IP and could result in our system banning the IP again.

Okay, thank you! Right now, I'm at work, so I'll check back when I get home at 2am US CST

@angerawr: I'm back home now, and I'm able to log back into GS, thanks :) Now I'll be doing a thorough check with all my devices in my network to be sure this doesn't happen again.
