malware problem?

[paranoid]

I've noticed that all proboards sites that i visited set off my avast antivirus, i'd tried checking if it had anything to do with any user content but after checking multiple sites it seems that every site hosted on proboards that i've checked is triggering the same response, as seen here:

I'm having the same thing . . . . using free Avast AV - being suspicious I wondered if it's an attempt by Avast to get us to upgrade to a paid service?


ETA: This now appears to be resolved thankfully!

I'm getting it with all forums I'm a member of also on my own forum. Its driving me crazy keep getting the Avast warning. Jxx

Hi

This is most likely a false positive, and avast is incorrectly flagging ProBoards as an issue. Does the warning message state any further information at all?

I was having the same issue, but it looks like it's fixed now. Avast was popping up with an "infection blocked" message on every single ProBoards page I'd go to. This is what it looked like:



When I clicked on the "more details" thing, it didn't really say much.

But yeah, just within the last 15 minutes or so, I've stopped getting the alert. So I think it's all good now

Thanks for posting back, and glad you are no longer getting the warning. The ProBoards team will most likely check into this when they get online, if you want to check back later for a reply

I.m getting the warning on 2 pro board forums, driving me crazy.
