mikebOAFC Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Was this not explained as a false positive result ages ago? Or is this a separate issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorrro Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I get the same warning when logging in through Opera. I just ignore it. I run regular scans in Comodo and that never uncovers any nasties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Turn off your antivirus? mmmm, not that might be more likely to get you infected, no? I got the following: Scan type: Auto-Protect Scan Event: Risk Found!

PlayItLivo Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 mmmm, not that might be more likely to get you infected, no? Yeah, but it'll get rid of the annoying "virus" notifications people are complaining about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Turn off your antivirus? Do not do this. We're running an outdated version of the IP.Board software because we don't have the resources to upgrade. As a result, to the best of my knowledge, it produces an error in AVG. I'm on OWTB at work through an IBM network, there's not much that gets passed the bods out in Germany and I've not had any problems. I doubt, but can't say for certain, that there is a problem.
