I've been on this site for six years and never gotten a virus. Did you run malwarebytes?

Some here mistake a virus for one of the forum critters that run about....I'd tell you more but I'd get banned for 30 days and with Christmas so close I'd hate to celebrate it alone without my PForums friends. Maybe some other more brave soul will enlighten you?

Been here since 2006.....I have the best software protection available...my brother in law was with the CIA 30+ years so it is the best..never a bug or virus here. Critters? Yep, I just live with them.

Regards!

Perhaps you can explain a little further as to why you think you picked up a virus on this site? I also have never had a problem here, but of course, do run software antivirus. Yesterday I got an e-mail from a friend with a link; I almost clicked on it, because she doesn't send many e-mails; guess what? Yep, her e-mail was hacked, so the link no doubt was spam or a virus; perhaps you contacted a virus in another manner, than this site.

Suggest you have to clean your computer and refresh.

Are you sure, I wouldn't trust the one who shall not be named.

To the OP:
Can you post more details?

Adam · 12-09-2015, 12:23 PM

Normally these sorts of flags come up due to third-party content (which is limited, especially when you're logged in), and they are virtually always false positives. Go ahead and post details and I'll take a look / inform the third party.
