Not sure if anyone else is getting it, but something on the site (I suspect the ad banner- as the url that Avast is reporting is for probid.pro-market.net.... )is setting off Avast's malware warning tonight. Every time a page loads, whether the main forum or a thread, it goes off. Been doing it for about 2 hours now, I left the site the first time, but it was still happening on the second visit. Not sure if it is something with Avast, something with the site, or with the banner or what.

Update, I am getting it at other proboards sites as well, but not anywhere else.
and update again, at 2:40 when I came back a third time, it didn't set off the Avast like it did earlier. Either Proboards fixed the issue or something else was going on.
and then just as I hit send on the edit, Avast starts going off again.

McAfee Site Advisor has been giving me warnings for the past month I would recommend letting them know. Still, their reasoning is sound: if one proboards site somewhere out there contained content that included a virus, a database encountering this might flag all proboards sites as having viruses. My security software is up to date (I use Panda antivirus and Malabytes anti-malware), and I've gotten nothing. |

I just got a Comcast Xfinity copyright notice on my iPhone, while browsing this forum. I am not an Xfinity customer, and the warning has only appeared on this site.
I figure it might be an unsecured wifi network issue, but I'm curious if it's happened to anyone else?
