Is there a virus on the site? When I try to look at a post it says a virus is trying to get through to my computer. Mine is up to date with antivirus software but I was eondering if anyone else has the issue.

I am running Advast now. I use to run norton but I ran into times that it wouldn't catch everything. I switched to advast once when I was trying to get rid of a virus at work. I Couldn't find it with nortns,I found it with trendmico antivirus but Advast was the only thing that would delete it. Its a free program and really works great. Anyway what I was getting last night was that a worm was on the fordtruk site when I tried to open a post. I did not have that with other sites last night and when I run a virus scan on my computer its clear. I will just check later. There is some type of new virus out there in the last week . This is a mac I am on now and the os is not at risk for it.

I run AVAST too and was having the same problem, actualy it was the same problem with all pbb sites. (FORDification, FORDsix, 460ford, etc...)

As you can see, all is well now.

I think it was something to do with AVAST. I am actualy glad that even though it wasn't realy something bad, it did warn me. This tells me that they are activly looking for stuff.

What's a virus?

Given that xp computers can get viruses I still prefer them over apple. I am apple certified even. I work on computers all day long. Each time they come out with a newer one its harder to fix. I use to could change out a display on a Ibook in about 30 minutes but now on a macbook its a 2 hour or better job. When I worked in a windows enviroment only I had a box 18x 24 inches that had 95% of the parts I needed to fix one. Now I would be lucky if I could get 95% of the parts I would need to fit in a service van. Give me xp any day.

The bad virus on this site is the compelling need to purchase every Slick we find. Not sure if there is a cure or if I want one.
