    Virus warning keeps popping up on site

    Okay so sometimes I get random popups from my antivirus, just once and it goes away.

    For the past hour I've been on this site and every single page I go to on it makes it pop up TWICE. Something about Feeb or something, I don't know, but I delete it, I deny it, I quarantine it, I do everything with it and it still pops up. What the heck is on this site that's causing it?

    And if it's the ads, then please get some new ads; this is so annoying, going to every page on here and hearing "BEEP BEEP" as I'm informed of an unwanted item being found on my computer, TWICE. It's ridiculous. I've never had it do this before, what's going on?

    Feeb - variant of win32


    You probably should unplug your internet and run a full scan.

    Typically if one of our ads is infected GWO gets listed as an attack site by google/firefox. Best bet would be to run, Nocht said, a full scan of all your security programs, and see if that turns up anything.

    but doesn't that mean the host/admin is responsible for searching that specific add?

    If it can be directly traced back to a GWO ad then yes. Usually though if it was one of our ads then I would have expected to see a lot more people posting about it.

    uhmm, it is fast but your OS can be damaged because of that, so alt-F4 is still faster considering.
