Topic: Virus Alert

I got 2 virus alerts at work while viewing this site. I have viewed this site at work for a couple of years without any issues. Just wanted to make everyone aware.

D: terminate that computer at once!

Yea, it's kind of weird. I've had Kapersky freak out on me while just browser the forums before.

And I had 2 blue screens of Death in 3 days. o.O
One of those times I clicked on the bookmark for NL, but it's probably unrelated, just a random virus from somewhere else trying to annoy me.

I just had a problem myself. I was starting to read Corbie's "Calling" article and i got some message about something (maybe not matching? trying to remember). anyways, i just keep trying to read and a virus alert pops up on my screen. The thing is, that I'm using my Wii to view this. So instead of clicking on it (in case they rigged the x button) I just reset.
There some hacker on this site?

The boldface above is a best practice for those who encounter any suspicious pop-ups in their browsers, regardless of platform. For example, If you're on a Windows PC and you encounter a pop-up you don't expect, don't hesitate to press CTRL+ALT+DEL and end the process for the browser (e.g. "iexplore.exe"). If you get such a pop-up while visiting this site, remember that it is probably just coincidence and not caused anything here, as those pop-ups are set to display randomly. However, if you do see them while here on our site, try to take a screenshot of it with ALT+Print Screen, then use the Contact link at the top of our page to let us know.

I have never experienced any of the problems mentioned. I just thought I'd point out that you can't get a virus on the Wii browser (to my knowledge) so wouldn't worry about this if you are using your Wii. Also as said before never click the X's to close pop-ups,it is often part of the image put there to fool you and will usually have the same effect as clicking anywhere else in the pop-up box, always close from task manager or right click the tab in the taskbar and close from there.
