Re: Malware warning on "ill informed boat knowledge" thread

Has anyone actually seen the ad? Can you tell me what it looks like? IE is it image or text or a combo... what does it say?
Thanks,
Curt

No Sir,
Just now clicked "What's new", the virus warning popped up again, and the Ad box was blank. Guessing my anti-virus is blocking the Ad from fully loading, so I haven't laid eyes on it.

I have received those warnings in the past (months ago), and you can't go to the site, all you get is a warning with the information about the site causing the problem.

You click on a thread, and all you get is the warning, when the ads change you can view the thread.

RogersJetboat454,
Please do me a quick favor? The block you're seeing isn't from Chrome it's from GData, your antivirus software. Please update your antivirus software as well as any browser you may be using. The problem that was happening the other day appears to be remedied by the folks at google (ie Chrome) and the problem you're having is likely caused by virus definitions that are a few days behind. Regardless, it appears that netseer wasn't actually delivering malware but was a preemptive per-caution on googles side of chrome.

The company itself has resolved the issue with malware. Doing what Curt suggests, should fix the issue. Let us know if it doesn't

GData set to update, and scan automatic everyday at 10AM. Should have had the latest definitions before I was getting the block, but I just manually updated it again (I believe they release updates every 4hrs). Maybe they were a bit behind on definitions? Go-to browser for me is IE9, up to date according to MSoft.

I'll see if it happens again. Thanks for the help...

Hey RogersJetboat454, have you had this issue again? Or did the update fix it.
