Geez, You Might Want To Investigate This

Hi,

Please kindly remind Blakey that FireFox DOES have a Malware prevention ability and they had it long before Chrome had theirs

If the one individual is having it from one location, ask them to use a different device on the connection, for example, if connected via a cable, generally yellow or blue "category 5" ask them to connect to a different computer, or if via WiFi, get them to use a different device, such as a neighbors mobile device. If it continues,`I can further assist. If it stops then the issue is on that Laptop/Device and they should do a scan with Avast! Free Scan & Removal and then it should be detected and removed.
Avast is the best if the free, and is I believe #3 of the paid, only to AVG because of the brand name.
I may be wrong on that number, I haven't seen CNet numbers for quite a while

Having never used "Oh, you need an add on for that, download it here" Firefux, I didn't know that.

He's right about Avast though, Avira is equally as good and usually scores very well, (top 3 or 4) in industry tests (CNet).

Ok, cleared the cookies and cache, warning gone when I enter the site, but as soon as I clicked on this thread, it was back.

I can't check it on a different device as I only have this one. I don't have multiple laptops, tablets etc etc.

I'll run Avira over the weekend, see if that picks anything up.

wierd , i have used 4 PCs on 4 different networks , not seen any of these warnings

Looking after Lois today and using my daughters computer. She uses chrome, and I got the warning.

Right. I have done a scan - nothing. I have cleared my cache AND Cookies back to time immemorial. Still getting the warning when I click on the first thread I want to read regardless of which it is. I then use proceed anyway on the warning to get into the site and its ok after that. I have tried it on my PC AND my laptop and get the warning on both.

Next suggestion?

right , i have no problems, in true IT fashion ... let see if i can fcuk things up and try and get the warning

Thats what happens with me. Doesn't matter which section I start with either. No further warnings once in the site.

had a bit of a google on this, and it seems quite a common problem, it looks like it is the host with the infection .

I am buggered if i can replicate this problem

Still waiting on an answer from the Forum Support , just spoke with Abbi on Skype and he has,nt had any problems and he uses IE7 . I,ll post as soon as I get some more news people

The problem is that it does not happen anymore for any of us.

Think its getting solved for most of them, i still believe clearing the cookies & cache would solve the problem. The reason being, i knew of a forum & it had a similar problem wherein they were getting a warning. So after the content was removed, the warning still remained even after it was actually gone for other users who visited the site freshly. Once i cleaned the cache & cookies, the warning disappeared for me.

Let me know how things are your end peeps

Can the affected users clear their DNS Cache?

Win 7: Start > Type in 'cmd' and it should return with a black box called 'cmd'
In it TYPE: ipconfig /flushdns hit enter AFTER IT SAID IT WAS SUSCESSFUL TYPE THIS ipconfig /renew hit enter.

Have you also got any JavaScripts selected to either 'in all pages' or 'in the topics'?

Also, Google can take a few weeks to re-check websites and verify it's safety.
It's rare that only a few selected users have the abnomaly of it continueing after everyone else.

Lets see if everyone has it cleared up now?

Ok people I have had a helpful helper from The Forum Support on here and he tried with Chrome and Firefox with no problems . All those that are getting this warning , can you post on here and I will try something out , a tip from our helper mate . You must be online for me to do this , so be patient I am sure we have nearly got this sorted . Cheers

Problem seems to have gone Tone. I've not had the warning page for a couple of days now.

I certainly hope so mate , as I said our Forum Helper will keep an eye on the place for a few days and will see how it goes .

First time I have tried since you reported it fixed as I have been away. As B;akey said - no warnings now. Seems ok

Well thats good news Nicki , glad its ok and who,s B;akey
