I am getting repeated warnings of a new computer virus that is attempting to download while I am on the forum. According to Norton it's SONAR.Heuristic.110.

You may want to check and ensure that something hasn't slipped into the system when it was offline.
 
your not the only one...

Home page of forum, I keep getting "Java is blocked because it is out of date." which looks very official and all, except that I updated java via a safe site recently. THIS IS NOT a java update and it is NOT safe. Just click the x to the right and dont mess with it. The error has to do with whatever virus the home page is trying to upload. My anti virus stuff auto blocks that. But the java thing started after the Hack too.

Admins:: PLEASE get this fixed!!!
 
yep! Getting same thing!

Okay, for those of you who have a Macbook, you can get it to stop showing the pop-up message by clicking on "details" and selecting "Never Trust" in the scroll down options. Apparently there are three different pop ups with one coming from California, Istanbul, Turkey, and the other one unknown. If you have a Mac and have any questions about the "steps" I posted, please feel free to ask me. So far no pop ups. Still, it's a little disappointing that this forum has the potential to give your computer a virus! Craziness!
