Trojan alert on front page by VIPRE

imtheguy · 04-20-2011, 08:40 PM

Starting today I get a blocked javascript everytime i click the Home page for www.pentaxforums.com. I would like to assume its a false positive but i am obligated to point it out so Adam can tell me my virus scanner sucks, or not.

That virus scanner looks like it's a virus in itself!

Wow. Took only seconds for me to get a PM reminding me not to post stuff in the wrong place and to please review the rules. Good going Lee. Next time, somebody ELSE point out a possible issue.

Here's some more info on the virus alert: AddThis User Community :: View topic - JS/Agent.agx Virus False Alarm

If we don't tell people about what goes where, how else would they learn?

Thank you Adam for the prompt answer. Thats the kind of response I was hoping for initially. Although I could have done a similar search I did not want to make any assumptions for the site. After 30 years as a programmer and manager, I know better!
