It's almost certainly not from this site.

It's likely that it came from one of the ads being displayed.

does anyone have info regarding the ads that were displayed at the time of the "virus" warning. as the screen shot shows in the first post... the virus came from zeldanew.info and not this site. which leads me to believe it came through one of the ad networks on here. probably ADSDAQ

I just got the virus on my computer again tonight. I think I caught it early enough and got rid of it. I'm posting now from my g/f's mac.

I was in the Pics N Video section and a Java pop up came on my screen. I immediately closed the site and ran my spyware program. About 2 minutes into it a fake anti-virus program showed up on my taskbar and started scanning my computer. This is the same thing that happened the first time as well.

I hope the admins can look into this and figure it out. I don't want to visit the site on my PC unless I know it's safe.

My Kaspersky went crazy earlier tonight on here as well. It just randomly started opening up the same thread in new browsers.

It opened up like 30 different browser tabs of the same thread. I did a quick "sweep" and everything went back to normal.
