Possible Virus (no not a bet on who'll open this)
Possible Virus (no not a bet on who'll open this)
Careful folks, might just be my comp but just had a virus alert that a downloader was contained in my internet temp files when opening the forum page.
Might be worth site admin checking out?

F*cking strange
. I had a virus (trojan) alert in work yesterday morning when I logged onto the forum too
.
I shut the internet down and called our IT. They had to run a McAfee "Stinger" on our whole unit's network!!!!
Nearly shat myself I can tell you
. They didn't find the source and the Stinger quarantined it so no major disaster, but it gave me a fright...

i've emailed the webmaster for any thoughts.
i do remember a recent tread stating that a porn site that had been linked to from here may have planted something on users machines.
as i use a mac though, i don't suffer from most of this nonsense. so next time you decide to replace your computer...
anyway, we will try and see if there is anything going on at our end, but i suspect it may have been due to an external link.
