Norton is freaking out, saying I keep getting viruses off the forums and it's apparently blocking them.
Is the update just confusing it or is there something wrong here? |

Nothing from AVG here.
It's likely just the updates, but don't take it lightly just incase it's serious. _________________

Norton's given me a warning every time I go to anybody's profile.
Says it's from the avatars somewhere. |

Worked out where it's coming from.
I visit Ioji's page, and the 'virus' that's blocked is a 'Malicious Toolkit Variant Activity'.
EDIT: Yeah, Jurg, that's what I'm getting. |

I get nothing with Microsoft SE, I'm gonna go ahead and say that it's just a false positive and Gio isn't trying to take over the world... yet. _________________

AVG doesn't seem to have a problem with the new website. _________________

Norton and Avast seem to be the only ones giving any problems. _________________

Looking through the BH forum, this isn't a new issue. It may just have appeared again with the website being recoded or something along those lines.
I think your anti-virus(es?) is picking up a problem with the JavaScript on the pages which takes the files on the /avatars page on the website. _________________ ^captincroc |

I seem to have fixed my problem with Avast, here's what I did:
Open Avast --> Real-Time shields --> Web shield --> Exclusions --> and then enter the website's URL on the URL to exclude tab.
It should look like this _________________

I've also gotten virus messages saying "Malicious content has been blocked". However I've only got them while viewing profile and posting on people's walls. |

I've also had reports of viruses, and when I click "Source" it goes to a folder titiled "avatars" and it happens when I go to the profiles. So somethings wrong with them. _________________ Replaying the secret location because I forgot all the passwords |

Zick's "solution" isn't fixing anything though. It's just telling Avast to stop alerting him about the virus. Doesn't mean it isn't still there. _________________ Twitter |
