Getting to the boards thru a link....virus??
It seems these past few days whenever I try to get to the QB by using a link that is sent to my email account from the QB from a thread that I posted a comment on, my anti virus software blocks me from going back to view the thread saying a virus. Is this happening to anybody else?

I use trendmirco titanium and it won't allow me to click on a link from my email. It does this to keep my email address from being transferred. I can go to any site as long as I don't try to click through my email.

I just tried something, I came on the QB and viewed a page then copied the address bar at the top of the QB page and pasted it to my "compose" page in my email and sent it to myself and when I tried to go back to the QB using the link from the address bar my anti virus blocked it again.

It depends on the anti virus program you use. Some block all clickable links that come through email. I use a free gmail account for all quilting related sites so it doesn't matter if my email address is transferred.

When I first got on the board I just Googled Quilting Board. After registering, I added to my favorites. It usually bypasses everything. I have yet to get a virus warning. Only time I get a virus warning is when I try to click onto an older link once in awhile.

Might know I just posted a comment and now have gotten 3 threats. Think Qb may have a situation.

I have been having the same problem! sometimes I get lucky and get through before the warning pops up and sometimes I can not post even if I do. Very frustrating to say the least! I have run every malware and anti virus program I have (I use Avast) and still not change.
