Forum URL: hg101.proboards.com/Every single Proboards site I visit, Avast is popping up "Threat has been detected" block messages. This includes this forum as well. Has something been hacked or is it just something weird on my end?

Hi It is most likely a false positive, and avast is incorrectly flagging ProBoards as an issue, perhaps based off of one forum which may have contained content that avast didn't like. Does the warning message contain any further information? Unfortunately, this is something avast would need to look into and change on their system to stop the flag.

Thank you Craig for getting back to us all so quickly. Avast seem to have sorted the problem out now...thankfully. I did click on the report button on the Avast pop up with my email address so they could check for problems, maybe others still having problems could try that. Jxx

It is likely avast has updated their system, or database. Considering the number of users and the lack of topics regarding this issue on this forum, i would say people as a whole are no longer getting the warning. Thanks for posting back with the information

I've also had users report this issue on goodbyecb.proboards.com this morning. Most recent report was 45 minutes ago.
