Virus warning on QB?
 
My friend has Avast antivirus, and since yesterday it has been blocking this site, supposedly because of malware or a virus. Obviously I don't believe there's any problem myself, or I wouldn't be here typing. Is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone have the tech skills to explain why it isn't really a problem so she can get back to visit these pages? She is a daily reader of QB and will be missing it, but is understandably reluctant. My own malware defenses aren't picking up anything, but I certainly do not want to tell her to not worry about it when I have no clear understanding of what could be going on. Thanks for any information or suggestions!

I also have Avast and I use Google Chrome the same thing is happening to me as of Friday. It shuts down the whole site. I got on through the digest today but am not logged in this way.

I've been warned in Delphi forums but not here , so far. recently I've gotten back into Delphi with no problems. Just saw that Quilt N Nan has reported this- advertising glitches.

I have Norton Antivirus and it always tells me it has stopped a Malicious Virus Malware. I had to buy a new computer and only use my old one for QB. It has been happening for a year or more.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials and am not seeing a warning, but it's happened here before. It's usually an ad causing it. I have adblock so maybe that's why I don't see the warning.

Is that what happened to my computer? I clicked on a picture here yesterday and my computer went blue screen. My Son is gone until March, but he has been trying to help me get back up by phone. It's still not good, by did get online this time.

this sometimes happens when people use the emails as their gateway to the QB.
it is a false/erroneous warning.

skip the emails and come straight to the board.
