    I'm noticing another oddity. When I click to read the first unread message, I get some kind of message asking me if I'm sure I want to navigate away from the current page. Doesn't happen every time, but some editor script is running or something.

    EDIT....and suddenly I can't type worth a dang!

    while the forum was being worked on ms security essentials blocked swf/blacole.d and js/blacole.a for me; not had a problem since earlier today.
    but the above-mentioned editor script has popped up a few times when i hit the 'post reply' button ......



    spoke too soon - swf/blacole.d was just blocked ......

    We did find an exploit and removed it. It looks as if one of our admin accounts is compromised so we're fixing that.

    We have a new forum support admin and he is sorting this out.

    Yeah :-)

    As far as i can see you only get problems if you have outdated software on a PC, and maybe if you use IE as well.

    If you have a software update manager, and block IE in your firewall (ex: Online Armor), then it is unlikely you will have any problem. A good AV like Avast will probably stop any issues even if you use IE and have old software versions.
