I have not had any problems but I usually don't since I don't run WINDOWS.

The warnings you are getting may be the actual virus. Go to Malwarebytes.com and download the program. Then run it. It will clear all viruses that our normal programs won't pick up for a few hours after they've started to spread. My computer shop uses Malwarebytes.

Two virus programs will have conflicts. It also depends on how the program is set. Don't know exact terminology but you can set it to recognize certain things, like "signature of the site". If it is a third party, stuff like that.

Hi all, Just wanted to pop in and say I've scanned the website and we are virus free, I can happily report!

I tend not to click on links given all the time in here. too many chances. I just updated my Webroot protection and it only once said there was a problem with a page but nothing after that.

That Kaspersky is one of the best you can buy, expensive but so worth it for sure.
