I have had no problems with QB but did encounter a serious warning about another site that apparently had been temporarily infected with some sort of malware. When I went back to it a day or so later apparently the problem had been corrected. My son had accessed that site without being warned of the problem and ended up sending bogus emails to everyone. I told him to update his virus protection!

It's never a good idea to have two anti virus programs running on a computer, they mess each other up. I suggest shutting one down and re running the other one and see if the message changes.

When is the last time you updated your virus protection. Mine wants me to do mine monthly. I have not had any problems either.

I have not had a problem. BUT, I do computer technical support and we have had customers all this week and last having to reimage their machines because they picked up a nasty virus on a phone look up page. As a general rule it's best to have only one antivirus program as they they tend to see each other as viruses and slow you computer down while they fight each other.

I had trouble after visiting some links. Computer kept crashing. Then today I couldn't get online. Got message from virus scan that I'd received unstable add ons. Deleted everything and reloaded. Now it seems to be fine. Good luck.

I'm having issues too, but when I scan, everything is ok. However, sometimes when I try to open different attachments, I get a warning. Just be careful!!
