hmmm, that is weird. never had a problem myself.
just turn it all off, problem solved! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

on a side note.....
anybody use Microsoft Security Essentials? Its free for any user of a genuine Microsoft operating system. My future son in law is a self proclaimed hacker(and he is pretty good). when he upgraded me to win7 back in beta, he installed MSE. it is the last time i have had ANY computer in my house have any problem with spy/mal ware/virus problems. i have it, and windows firewall running, and THATS IT!! It hardly ever bugs me, or stops ME FROM VISITING WHATEVER SITE I DAMN WELL PLEASE!! I have actually went to sites, got hit with a virus, and i continue to surf the site while MSE takes the punk in the back room and breaks it's legs, making sure it never even thinks of stepping foot back in my computer. These days i go try to find bad, evil stuff sometimes to try to crash my junk, and i cant ..... Awesome stuff guys!!  
CHECK IT!!

P.S.   It wasnt easy for me to put all my security eggs in one basket at first either, but sometimes you have to have faith!

will it remove something that might be existing? Last time we had a virus problem on here somebody mentioned Viper Rescue as being free and good. I didn't go out and get it but am thinking now maybe I should. No problems just a lil foresight for a change of pace.....

That would be vipre rescue.

I also switched to Microsoft Security Essentials when I went to Win7 and now use it on everything except my servers.

And to the OP - no - my AV is not alerting to any problems with the website.

We had a hacker here on the ZW server a while back, but it was
a hoax virus warning popup to get you to click on it and really get
screwed.

Some of the members noticed the thing popping up on their mobile
devices which do not have the OS to get infected and knew it was
a spoof to snag some unwary users of ZukiWorld.

You might be having some similar thing going on
