Anti-virus popping up on all Proboards sites?

[Craig]

If you are getting that warning, you should find a 'report as false positive'. Click on that and it should hopefully be investigated more in depth by Avast.

Avast is an Internet Security program.

You shouldn't go around downloading and installing things you don't know anything about.

i know its a virus thing.

its just a button at the top of my page is what im saying lol i dont know the workings, but i feel safer now

I am getting the same thing. Through Avast as well. Figure I post a screenshot of the alert as well to be helpful.

Same as I'm getting, on 2 pro board forums, I'm on IE though.

[mmhmm]

Just click on "False Positive" and report the problem to Avast. I can assure you there is no problem on ProBoards. Neither my anti-virus nor MalwareBytes have thrown up a warning and I've had no problems on the ProBoards sites I've visited. Just did a scan this morning and had no malware.

I reported it as false positive last night but when i woke up, the problem hasn't been settled

Until Avast updates their virus definitions to whitelist the URL after receiving enough false positive reports the window will continue to show up.

[mmhmm]

I don't use Avast but if it has a whitelist available for you to use you might try listing the URL there.
