Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Ah! I thought it was just me. I've got Norton's and for about 2 weeks now, if I click to view a thread (and it seems to be random threads), I get a little notice from Norton's. I can pull up the information and it actually gives an IP address and website of where the "attack" is coming from, but I can't figure out how to cut and paste that information here. If someone familiar with Norton can give a dummies version of what to do, I'll be happy to share.

In case anybody wants a completely free and 100% effective way of blocking malicious scripts in websites, you want to download the NoScript add on for Firefox. It takes a while to configure, but by default it blocks ALL scripts. You can permanently enable certain scripts and permanently block others... it's completely at your discretion. I've been using NoScript exclusively for four years on three separate computers and have not been infected with a single virus during that time, and trust me, I do a lot of surfing and have definitely clicked bad things. I stopped using antivirus software when they became ridiculously bloated and expensive. I'd rather use my hardware for gaming than checking constantly for ITDs (internet transmitted diseases).
For example, here's a list of all active scripts on this Fauna thread that NoScript allows me to block or accept:
google-analytics.com (enabled)
faunaads.com (disabled)
sitemeter.com (disabled)
googlesyndication.com (enabled)
doubleclick.net (disabled)
rfihub.net (disabled)
interclick.com (enabled)
faunaclassifieds.com (enabled)
Perhaps the virus is originating from one of these disabled scripts?

Here's the one from this morning. Thanks for the screenshot instructions, hubby! I can get the others, too, that are from different IPs and websites, if needed.

Thought it was a coincidence but I got hit last week on here also at work. If it pops up do not x out or close. Restart pc. If it infects use combofix to repair. http://combofix.org/
