Warning - Virus on Freebies Page Quick Moan Thread

Hi, all just to let you know that three times I have tried to get onto the last post of 'free moan' thread and each time it has terminated with warnings coming up saying virus on Monaysavings Expert - other pages/threads seem ok. Just to let you know incase anyone's antivirus isn't up to date!

By the way was Bat De vin Trojan (or something similar)

Pip.

    Just tried again, terminated completey with little floating message from NOD giving details of why - def. says on this board/forum. Best to let you all know just incase. Wouldn't like to tell people not to worry incase their antivirus isn't up to date.
  • Is it on the whole site or just that thread??

    Well, I'm on the rest of it ok - happened four times when I clicked on the little arrow to take you to last post of that thread.

    Floating box disappears with the termination so hard to read it all in time but easy to see Money Expert Fourm - then says terminating beacuse of virus, goes on to name it and says deleted or isolated etc - don't see how it can be just on this computer, maybe this antivirus sortware is picking it up and others aren't?

    It wouldn't let me get onto the trhread to check the link you are talking about as closes it down before that.
  • May be worth emailing the tech team to see if they can suss out why... :confused:

    the site has been having other issues (may or may not be linked); may be worth posting on this thread as MSE team are monitoring it...
