FYI: It appears as though our site is one of the ones falsely flagged by the Avast! HTML:Script-inf debacle. You'll have to temporarily add notmsnmoney as an exemption to your Web Shield ...if you have any idea what I'm talking about. If not, you're good.  |

In layspeak: if your trigger happy virus checker goes bonkers, it is a false alarm. PM Virgil on how to fix it.  |

I narrowed it down to the ads. I actually emailed ProBoards and they did fix it. I was shocked as my Norton would kick me out before I could even see the ad so I couldn't tell them which one but with just the date and time and my ID they figured it out.  If you are feeling like you need to be needed I can email you next time though.  |

Interesting. I use Avast and never get a warning about this site, unless it's an extrememly recent fase alarm.

I was having issues with this site and Netflix on this laptop for a couple days, but I think the issue has stopped. Virgil, would you be willing to help with the netflix issue too if it happens again?

apple: If the netflix problem is with your virus checker, really the only thing I can assist you with is adding the netflix site as an exemption. Unfortunately, doing that and waiting for the developers to fix their software is really the only thing that can be done. meghan: It is a recent false alarm. As of this morning. Dr. Pig: I'll switch my av to a flower girl if you permit me to write a script that randomly reassigns all adjectives and adverbs in your posts. Quid pro quo and all. Still interested?  |

My antivirus shuts down the site all the time. |

Looks like they had an angry mob show up. Virus definitions updated as of a few hours after my OP with the false positive fixed.
Methinks some junior software engineer at Avast corp. is cleaning out his desk.
