When I was last on this board, which was on Friday (around 11:45 BST, maybe) I managed to import. from somewhere, 22 viruses. Or so our AVG said. I was immediately "invited" by my wife who views our computer as her computer to leave off and stay away until I contact you and find out if any of you noticed anything. My wife spent 40 years workng in a college library but her first thought was that I should contact you from a public access computer at a library which is where I am now I am mostly interested in making sure that 1) that the viruses didn't come from here and 2) those that were on at the same time as me (that I recall were ELLERS, Nines and Oslo) are safe just now as well I'll be back on here is a day or two but if anybody knows anything (positive or otherwise) about this would p,eaase respond to this message and tell me. I'd like to continue using this board from home
Every time I seem to log on now I get a message saying that malware has been blocked. If I click on the message I get an upgrade offer on my anti-virus software ( avast. ) I just think it's a way of drumming up business. But in saying that, it only happens when I log onto here. Everything seems fine though maple, maybe Northy, DT or someone else on here who is more computer literate will be better positioned to advise you. But as far as I can tell all is fine this end. I have also downloaded google chrome which has extra protection built in as well.
I use Mozilla Firefox and ESET and have had no problems. No complaints re viruses to us as mods either.
Sorry but what has the fact that your wife worked in a college library for 40 years and she wants sole ownership of your laptop got to do with viruses on not 606. It sounds like you are under the thumb and need to man up a bit. tell her it's your PC and assure her firmly there are no viruses on this site.
My Computer is once again riddled with viruses and this is the Site I use most (no adult sites anymore ) . Its going so slow now that I'll probably have to get it fixed because my anti-virus software doesn't seem to be doing a damn thing to help me. My story is repetitive. Buy Lap-Top, it crashes, I get it fixed. This happens a few times before I have to buy another one. Then I...............................................Buy Lap-Top, it crashes, I get it fixed..............................
From time to time I've seen posters complaining about viruses on here, but in a year of posting I've never once had a problem. I don't on any site tbf. Firstly make sure all infections are cleared off your PC by using Malwarebytes Anti Malware. It's the best free virus remover out there. The free version doesn't offer real-time protection like AVG, but it's worth having on your PC as an "on-demand" scanner just in case. http://shop.malwarebytes.org/lpa/342/3/7268/index_b.html?gclid=CJKsxtrm2LACFU4lfAodBEpV0g Secondly I'd consider ditching AVG for MSE. http://www.brighthub.com/computing/smb-security/articles/65083.aspx There's some good advice in this link regarding general online safety. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...security/169a9fdf-c806-4db4-be01-6af5ce048b42
Not sure as i am not the best person to ask ... i have only had one PC in 20 years and that lasted about a year and i only used it for testing!!!. I honestly don't know how the outside world works with them ... There is no excuse ... On Mac in those 20 years i have had one worm
See my post above. If you think you've viruses, download Malwarebtes Anti Malware and scan with that. Do you want some more tips for speeding up your PC? It'll be quite a long post but might save you some cash.
Have not excperienced any problems Syrup mate. I guess the condom my present PC is wrapped in is doing its job. Good luck! Sounds like you need some better protection.
100% agree. You will save in the long term. If you are wedded to MS Office you can get perfectly good versions for Apple kit. I am not on commission.
I have google chrome.AVG and have had no reports. I have had no reports from anyone about a virus and this site is well protected, Mick would sharp tell me if we had a problem, honest.
I have had a few problems from this site as well. My Antivirus always says that 'Things were blocked'. A bit too tech for me.
Apart from tracked everywhere you go as its riddled with spyware, use Chromium as its the same browser before all the nasties get put in. Sounds like your missed thinks you spend too much time on here and is thinking of a reason to get you off. Use Chromium or firefox and adblock. I bet you have IE which downloads anything nasty and runs it automatically.
