Hi I just got my new forum and it's saying that pop up's have trojans on them how do I block this.

are you saying that the popups are saying you have a virus? if it is, its a total fake

huh what?

can we get a screenshot of this so called 'virus alert' please?

by DeathSoul March 30th 2009, 3:17 am

I'll try but im a little scared to get on my forum now because my virus scanner popped up and said the ads on the forum was attempting to get into my computer (trojan)

Ok, what is the address of your forum?

Also, what is your antivirus company?

IE: AVG

I have avg and mc affe. Xtreme gave me his old forum therefor it's http://adminsarea.englishboards.com/forum.htm

hmm, only use one of them antivirus!

if either of them is free, get rid of 1 and keep mcafee (its paid I know).

im using Avast! 4.0 and its not detecting anything.
-Avast is a leading antivirus in the world, (Higher than AVG & Mc affe)

your forum is safe.
and there aint no damn popup either Wink

so I should get rid of Avg? How do I get rid of the ads?

by Dreamlimix March 30th 2009, 3:39 am

yes you should! i've McAfee and it saying there is no viruses! AVG is just making false positives i think!

BTW i am pming you so keep checking pmss!

by DeathSoul March 30th 2009, 3:40 am

will do

by Darren1 March 30th 2009, 3:42 am

Yes get rid of AVG and when your lisence to mc affe runs out, get Avast! (its better than mc affe)

Adds, what ads?
there aint no god damn ads there!

Okay, look... this is NOT a "total fake"... several others have had this issue too, see these other threads:

You do know that these guys are using Norton, and Norton is known for completely fake virus'! (right)

ForuMotion does not put virus' onto their severs!
it is illegal (im 90% sure)
