Computer Virus? Pelican Parts?
Is anyone getting an Avast Virus Warning when trying to access Pelican Parts message board articles via a google search. I simply get hit with a virus warning everytime I try to look at an thread and get a white page saying access is blocked.
Does the same on 3 computers I've tried. I can log in to the forum no problem through the main page. Anyone else notice this? Here's the details of the message... Infection Blocked URL: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/boxster-cayman-forum/... Infection: HTML:Script-inf Relax, your avast! just saved you from a virus. Protect yourself against other types of threats by upgrading now. |

I had a warning from my anti-virus last Friday. It blocked the virus.
 It happened just the one time. I figured it was one of the ads.

Yes, Mcafee is talking at me. My speel checker don't work there either, nor do about half the videos.

BTW, I've tried the other situations where people have gotten virus warnings and that has not happened to me. I use Firefox, No Scripts (set to full acceptance of PP), and Avast.

Yep. I've gotten a virus about two weeks ago from here. I assume its from the ads and constant spammers. Welcome to Walmart of Porsche parts.

hmm, weird. I don't have any virii, and have never seen this odd behavior.
I guess Firefox, Adblock and no script are doing the job.

No warnings but my system does seem to have caught something. It's running real slow, getting licked off and I'm having difficult opening topics.

[Just an FYI:] For the past few years I've had a 'plague' of Googe/Chrome java script, which has been locking-up this computer for many many years. Completely trashing the HD. And wasting my valuable time. Daily. AFAIK, I shouldn't have any Google/Chrome/anything on this computer. Only NoScript and Ghostery additions running. But, not only on the PelicanParts website.... Even when updating MS Security Essentials with nothing running in the background. [/Just an FYI.] Last edited by john70t; 02-21-2014 at 10:05 AM.. |
