Thanks -- I'll go check it out.

I'm getting virus warnings from my anti-virus protection regardless of which page I click onto. I'm guessing it's via the proboards ads. The ads include something about dish network, a clorox antitrust settlement and charter business. Dunno if you can do anything but I thought I'd give the heads up.

Carolinian, this seemed to be happening across ProBoards today...the tech guys confirmed that this warning is a false positive from AntiVir Guard, who have been contacted to have it fixed.

Are you using Avira for your anti-virus protection, by any chance? If so, and you're still getting that pop-up, you can click to quarantine it and that should stop it. You might want to switch to a different software (AVG or Microsoft Security Essentials, for example) or download AdBlocker Plus to stop all ads. All are free.

Whenever your anti-virus releases an update, you and all other Greecies should immediately download it so that you do not receive any more false warnings.

Sorry this is happening but fortunately it's a glitch and not a malicious attack, so everyone's computer should be free of harm here.

Hey all- don't know if this is the place, but the "What Did You Watch Last Night" thread is at 399 pages- is that something you need to know?

Good eye, mrspickles -- I'll go start a new one before the old one implodes. Thanks for the heads-up.

(Narc Squad is more to report Greecies behaving badly, but what you did works just fine.)
