I had to send my computer to my son for him to fix it because of that virus! It's this long process you have to go through to fix it, and I'm just not that computer savvy, and I get frustrated when it won't do what I want it to, then I have to get away from it or I'm afraid I'll break it! LOL!

Yes, it happened to me right after I opened the first thread, I think, Monday or Tuesday. A warning from 'Windows' was displayed saying that a virus was attempting to ?something?--- and recommended that I clean, or fix it. (something like that) I ran a virus scan and the report indicated it fixed what ever was there. I have had this happen once before on this site, but it has been quite a while. Any other time I am notified of a virus attempt, it comes from my 'Nortons' program.

Yes, I reported this on Monday...actually this has been happening to me from this site for over 3 months... Just be careful and alert to the chance that someone is trying this stuff this quite often of late...

Somehow this virus has been become attached to this website. I close out my internet connection and sign off my computer without responding to any pop-up. My protection program (I use Kapersky) clears it out. I then sign back to the computer in 5 minutes or so, run a scan to insure that my firewall is in place and working correctly. It has been happening 2 -3 per week. I keep hoping that website operators will get it fixed from their end soon. It is bothersome, but it is happening on many websites.
