I got a malware warning not to open the last page of the thread on the laptop at work. Now at home I'm getting it here too on the desk computer. Is anyone else getting it? Screen shot:

cause joe embedded the image from a questionable site in the post my virus software didn't like it either . I put Joe on my ignore list temporarily which closes his posts in the thread and I can now view the thread's 8 th page. I'm not sure there was malware but i guess the site has been reported in the past and hence the warning .

hope that helps

I keep picking up viruses regularly to the point I have the computer scanned daily. Perhaps this is a source.

Do you have anything like MacAfee as a service, or do you not have any automatic-updating active virus scanning installed?

I haven't had a virus or malware in a long time. Just lots of cookies. BTW, there is nothing to see on page 8 of the Mr. X thread except the link posted by Joe. :)
