Virus attacks.

[Sharkie]

I think K-Site has a virus some where in the OT forum. I got a lot of virus warnings and this was the only thing I was using Internet for at the time.

There's a thread about the Trojans that were appearing a while back, here (http://www.kryptonsite.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=10126&perpage=15&pagenumber=1). :)

Is it a virus or trojan or what?

[Sharkie]

Different from a trojan.

Odd... Glad it hasn't happened to me yet!

Hope this is fixed soon.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it's possible for a message board to "get" a virus, especially a particular forum. Still could be wrong, but I'd say it's more than likely something got in through a Windows security hole and is causing you problems that way.

Yes, that's pretty much true. Forums cannot just pick-up viruses, it has be to implanted.

Perhaps by a picture, coding, or even links to threads.

Makes me glad that I use Firefox, and don't have to worry about evil pop-ups.
