Re: Virus warning - started today

its a JPG its very unlikely to be infected

I run a couple forums like this and host a couple more - Its not uncommon for people to claim that a forum is infected however if it really were infected it would impact EVERY ONE - not just one random computer ...

Since Charles doesn't run any banner ads, it CANT be an infected ad that only one or 2 see, which means again - if the site was infected EVERYONE would be seeing the same infection ....

there are hundreds of PCs connecting to the sites per hour. if it were really a problem with the site at least 50% of the PCs would be seeing the same thing - the other 50% wouldn't have decent AV software

translating: if YOUR pc is detecting something the FIRST thing to check is YOUR pc
Run Malware bytes and see what it finds
