I'm getting threat detected messages too and am unable to scroll to the lower half of the page :rolleyes: I'm using IE will try FF and hope that works

If I load the site up again and ignore the warnings I too can't scroll down to the end.
the information given in the link earlier says that we should have anti virus etc. well I have that and have always had it. Being very cynical and looking at the wording advising me to install the tool bar for avg makes me wonder if it's just a ploy to get me to do just that.
Can I ask again if anybody else who has downloaded the avg 9 version is experiencing slower download. Mine is dreadful and I use CCleaner as well as Defragger on a regular basis.

I got around not being able to get to grabbit by finding a subscribed thread which was in the Bargain Shopping section and then clicking into the thread.

The menu at the top isn't blocked (Which shows the links e.g. Bargain Shopping - Discount Codes) so you can get to the comps board that way.

Hope that helps!

I think i just had the same warning, im uisng eset and it warned me about the site, something about a banner was mentioned, im trying to find out if eset keeps a log of what happens

My firewall was reporting suspicious behaviour - that an .exe file was trying to install itself - plus I have been getting Visual Basic runtime errors every time I tried to load up the site! Seems OK for now though...

Kaspersky isn't picking anything up. Nobody has said otherwise as far as I read??

Hi Folks

Thanks for letting us know - the technical team are now aware and are working on it.

I logged out, turned wireless off and started to run a scan -I have AVG 8.... I have logged back in and no threat warning, and no problem accessing any of the forums or boards...I do not have AVG toolbar installed (to my knowledge)...
