Thank God I am not the only one on this site! I have been getting that God awful virus warning for the last three weeks. It interesting that I never get it on my home computer but only at my work computer. It only seems to happen shortly after you vist the site. Hopefullly, the people who now manage the site will take care of this. Seeing I own all the computers at work, I will have my hardware support company investigate the issue and help me correct this.

I think something's wrong too. I still see posts on this site that mention Gerald Green and Rasheed Wallace.

This is a common scheme that exploits vulnerablities in IE, where depending on your permissions allows things get installed automatically.   

It is really annoying.

Sad to see that here - it must be embedded javascript in either advertisements or posts...

There's a solution to this:

Stop using Internet explorer. It's garbage and easily exploited.

FireFox or Chrome are far superior browsers.

Also, if you have have any virus scan software, try out AVG's free platform, it's a completely free downloadable suite that runs consistent scans (not just a one time scan, or 3-day trial like so many others out there.) It's very effective, and AVG are one of the best software security companys out there.

I have experienced the same issue at least three times, but thankfully I have good virus protection software and have not been infected.
