    We've pretty much discovered why it happens, but fixing it is proving difficult. If you start to type a post and someone else posts before you've finished, your post will double up!

    Can anything be done to protect this site from virus's? It destroyed my laptop the other night. Think it may be fatal too.

    brb or Mick are the guys you need to talk to about that.

    Going to prove expensive if outside influences are able to do that.

    I can't do anything with it. Not even in safe mode it turns off when I run a scan. When ever I use this site on my laptop I get a virus. Same on work PC. Hence I just use my phone which is safer.

    I see brb's answered your question now Dave, he's unable to help too much and suggests you contact Mick.

    Best to read his reply yourself though before going any further. <ok>

    A few others on our board have said their computers got virus's from on here.. Sometime on the phone you get weird adverts flash up. I don't use the app as don't like it.

    You never know, even if he doesn't reply ( which he very often doesn't) he'll be aware of it and might work on preventing it happening again.

    Pulpe has just posted extra info on the mod board so I've asked him if he'd like to pass it on!
