Members sharnrock Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 do you have JavaScript enabled coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Coaster Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 i do. i also keep my java up to date although i'm not sure why i need java, but i do know i need it for SOMETHING i just cant seem to remember what. i got a brutal variant that behaved like vundo a while back but was NOT vundo but looked like it, and the general consensus was that i had a very old java version which is likely where it got in (i can get rid of vundo with ease; this was NOT vundo). hosed my entire system after fighting with it for 12 hours straight, it remained 4 steps ahead of me the entire time and it took out the entire hard drive (it ran across partitions). since then i religiously update javascript and i have had no further virii attacks.

Members Coaster Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 also java just updated either last night or this morning. its all a big blur to me right now as i just got done with a 25 hour weekend of retail hell. i think it was this morning. i seem to remember updating during morning coffee time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sharnrock Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 There are some 3rd party plug ins that can help too. Adblock plus is awesome. It automatically blocks all banner adds. I just installed noscripts, so we'll see how this one goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WynnD Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm running the mac version of Avast and don't have any problems or warnings on this website. Only about once or twice a month do I get a warning about any website. On the other hand, I force my browser to quit whenever I get any suspicious behavior on a website. (Like a no-good answer window that I refuse to click on.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Harmonycat Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yup! Avast has been doing this all morning on this site. Avast was Pirate talk in the old days for GET LOST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm in contact with IT and they're currently working on it. It's apparently not an actual virus, but some sort of issue with the ad server. They've made some changes that should fix it - Can you please re-check and let me know if you're still getting the warnings or not? Thanks guys!
