Default Antivirus

Every time I log on or click on a new thread; my antivirus pops up with a warning about dangerous or suspicious sites. This has been happening for the last 3 weeks. Has anyone else had issues? Or can admin check their virus protection too? Thank you

I haven't had the problem. Are you sure it isn't that scam trying to get you to buy the anti-spamware which is really a virus all its own?

Have them do a scan check. DH has it set up to where a scan is done in the early morning hours. We have Antivast. It's free and keeps the viruses on check.

I am having the same problem. It just started a few weeks ago. Is it QB connected? I don't have the problem elsewhere.

Yes , it is just coming from this Board. I don't have a problem on anything else.

It hasn't happened lately or very often, but I get a warning that a Trojan Horse has been caught -- a few times I got an ad for antivirus ware and it was scary, like I had a virus -- but it checked out that I didn't -- my anitvirus ware seems to work well
