I use Firefox and been on RGM for over 10 years and it started giving me problems today. I keep hearing Threat is detected!

Adblock works on chrome. NO more antivirus alerts.

Especially check your Firefox extensions to make sure there's nothing installed that you don't remember installing.

What Antivirus are you using BTW?

I was getting redirected to other sites even tho my settings hadn't changed. Always had Adblock on.
I later blocked all javascript from running on this site and the problem went away.

you guys should check out a program called sandboxie and run your browsers inside it, its pretty easy to use and it really makes a difference

Whenever I stay on the overview page of our Knicks forum I get redirected after 5-10 seconds. Same thing happens on the overview page of the support forum. The only way to prevent this, is by entering a thread. I have these problems, when using my PC (Windoes Vista 32bit and Internet explorer 9.something). Right now I am on my MacBook Pro using Safari. Everything is fine there.

I don't think that solves anything. As far as I know, Sandboxie creates a temporary isolated environment, where everything you do or the program does, won't affect your system. But once you close sandboxie, everything is gone or revert back to the old status. Am I supposed to run everything on Sandboxie now, just to browse a forum? I'd rather suppose someone fix this site here soon. This problem is not caused by the users.

RealGM has a history with ads that are a pain in the ass. Seems to me like one of these ads has taken over the control. :lol:

Chrome + AdBlock = Winning

I use Avast and AVG and this is the only site with any issues and as stated it just started yesterday. I've run scans on my computer and nothing was found. Avast is just constantly blocking a Trojan from this site.

I thought installing AdBlock for Chrome would stop Avast from acting crazy but it hasn't.

I'm not going to visit these forums on my computer until something gets done about it.

You use Avast and AVG at the same time?

I recommend using AdBlock And optionally, NoScript
NoScript is a little more complicated so try Adblock first.
Hope this helps.

Our developers are investigating the cause of this right now and we'll report back as soon as we have an update.

Seems to work. No problems here. Thanks.

I've been getting the same warnings for the past few days.. Over the last few hrs the warnings has dropped significantly tho.. Yesterday I would get about 50+ warnings.. In the last few hrs I've only had about 5-7, so whatever is causing it is still there.

Thanks for the update. We're continuing to look into it and hope to have a resolution shortly.

Has anyone with this problem run a full virus can on their computer?

Twista or Buffalo Wild Wings just starts BLASTING out of my speakers at random times, it is getting to be absurd

My computer is up to date with nothing wrong
