    My AV software is telling me this site has malware, and it just randomly popped up? Anyone else getting this?

    It's a known fault and popped up at around 2pm.
    I get the same thing with Macafee.
    Mick is working on it and trying to find out which specific thread on which specific board has the iffy link/image.
    It looks like it was something posted at 2pm but I've looked on our board and it looks clean as far as I can see.

    It's a good shout so thanks for the heads up. Took 30 seconds to sort so if we rewind the site then all is recoverable.

    No, but I had a good couple of months where I couldn't log into the site as my PC just kept kicking me out of it. Definitely didn't like something about the forum as I was accessing other sites fine.
