whenever im on mah desktop and the shoutbox loads certain ads it sayz a trojan has been found

I hope you're not actually believing it when ads tell you they found a trojan.. the only trojan you would have is the one you would get if you install their "anti-virus scanner".

Nah its something else because because its not the ads telling me its my computer telling me they are in the ads

Well, my AV doesn't find any. You probably mean that they're in the temp folder of firefox.. if that's the case then you can just delete any alleged virus without hesitation.

yeah, I just used AVG to scan the entire site and I found nothing. just dont click on any of the Ads lol xD

Could it be that it is Iframe trojan?

it only shows up when certain ads load. If the ad loads and it wants you to Just close out and restart your web browser if it will make you feel better. I'm using Avast and I get it when a certain ad loads in the shoutbox. I don't know which one it is I never bothered to look and I think I told misho about it a while ago

well recently, i had some ads redirecting me from the portal to an ad page... making me leave the forums totally... so those sucked...

The ads try to load the AV stops it and tells me and im not clicking on anything

Sounds like one of the infamous advertise companies.

We had one of those on a site my wife visits quite regularly called picturediary.se but in swedish.
It pretty much took you from one site to another, it's not suppose to function like that as far as I know thou.

lol I disabled to ads... I cant even see any of them.

Is there anyway to Disable the ads? or redo the shoutbox so that there are no more ads...in my opinion a first time user visits the forums and gets that it's just going to drive them away

I don't know if there is an option on the sight but AVG asked me if I wanted to disable them from being shown on my computer and I said yes lol. GG ads

lol Eulogy xP we aren't talking about someone who can do that.. we are talking bout a first time user to the forums someone who enters and is like "HAI Guys I'm new how do I play this game"

did I just see the 3 letter combination of AVG...omg seriously get a better antivirus please...... even Avast is better for those who want to use a free one. Nod is the best out there imo

did somebody just say AVG was bad? there are litterally no virus's that can get past AVG lmao. barely anybody can even afford my anti-virus k thx lol I'm not talking the cheap FREE AVG. I'm talking the one that the big companies use because the ones like Avast are unsafe to major hackers. lol

well if it's not the free version then...nvm ...still avast free is better than avg free

Anything free doesnt work as well as the ones you pay for obviously xD lol except LimeWire... you can Download Limewire Pro on Limewire... not the smartest company decision in the world... lol

Oh and to loop this back to the topic... you have to look out cause most of the pro versions are virus's lol xD

Well now. I switched from AVG to Avast simply because I was getting false hits. However for the average user there is nothing wrong with either of those. It seems more User Preference really. and LimeWire = Virus City

what is limewire lol?

ZA and random other program my dad installed ftw lol

I use Avast too, pretty much does it's job. The chance that a pro hacker hacks my pc shouldn't be to high^^.

A nice way to make friends with the police and to get fined for illegal downloading.

Hah thats funny, well we use nothin at my house.

Please no talk about warez/illegal downloading on the forums. //Liz
This is not directed to only you, this is to all of you.

You guys all suck.... Anti-virus sucks. When your computer gets even a bit slow, Just do a frigging reinstall of the computer.
But most important of all. Only download from places you know are secure, and don't visit shady sites. When you master that you won't get viruses and then you don't need those anti viruses that makes the computer slower than viruses do. I never get viruses.
