Both notices are connected to this board, that is why I am concerned.....

I have 2 different virus protections so something is definately wrong somewhere....for the two to notify me...
I've had to post this twice. The first one never copied. ?
If the http// does not have an 's' after the http then the site is not secure. I have major anti virus protection due to my business and I have not had any prompts about a virus but the site has really been slow for several days.
I've been having some issues, too, and I have great virus protection because I have an online business. BTW, one thing...notice http//...if there is no 's' after the http then it is not secure. The site has been very very slow for a week or two.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up!

I got something nasty this past Monday. It was unkillable ( I do this for a living-and I tried every trick-it was a fairly new malware program I'm sure). Had to over write the hard drive with the back up. Don't think it's the board though I think I must have clicked a link. Won't do that again!! Lol
