Warnings from antivirus

[damselle]

Oh, I got that prefetching message again, just now, when trying to advance to the next page on this thread:

It's baaack!

Malwarebytes just blocked radioskin.com (again) in the Ask the Vets--Answers.

It's completely gone for me - at least so far.

Avast has just started throwing up error messages again for me.
Might be worthwhile checking for whatever was causing it last time.

I'm having a similar issue on my end as well with avast. Throwing up the radio skin warnings, and other warnings about the forum itself. Had it before and it went away. Any resolution to this on the user end?

 

[Ohio Points]

Yep still there....

We'll ping the server guys and have them look at it right away.

I'm getting it with Malwarebytes

Avast has just thrown up another infection warning - just one so far.
Here's a screenshot.....

On numerous threads I am getting Script-inf warnings from Avast. Not only in the threads below , just scattered randomly thru the forum.
Here is one of them

Richard: I was in the IT field in the 1990s, and helped Richard Ford develop the AV testing methodology used by the NCSA.

Avast is not that great of detecting viruses. I think you may be getting false positives. Try the four step process below.

1. Get a really really good scanner. F Secure is one of the best and they used to have 30 day evaluation copies you can download.

2. There is a way to detect viruses by detecting the actions of a virus. Trend Micro makes some good generic detectors. I almost ended up working for Trend.

3. Download and run Spybot

4. See if you can find an eval copy of Malware Bytes.
