Malware warning

Unread post by Syleye »

Hi,
I hope this is in the right area. I have been trying to get onto the "show your dragons" thread on the Flight rising subforum and I keep getting a malware warning from my system. No of the other topics are being flagged and this only started with in the last 10 minutes.

What antivirus software / browser link scanner are you using? I wonder if it's a false positive. Is there any particular page that gives the warning for you, or all of them that you try?

Hmm, I went to the thread and didn't get any alerts myself, I use Avast Antivirus.

It's part of Google chrome, not sure exactly my husband takes care of that usually. It was happening when ever I clicked on the main link. I cleared my browsing files to see if something old was setting it off and it didn't help, but it stopped doing it about 15mn ago so maybe it was a false alarm

Cool. Yeah, that happens. I've heard of it more with Chrome. Not sure what their deal is. As I use Firefox I don't have a lot of experience with it.
