    Me too. If I recall correctly, this was happening around the same time last year. Maybe its something to do with the forum's calendar?

    Skipper I sent you and the Administrators a pm. Google Chrome sent me detailed reports about where it came from. Hope it helps.

    Will add: received notices from 2 different computers/addresses of a warning. Had a different site appear twice when trying to access. Immediately closed, so can't say what site was about. Site was very professional looking. ..Afterwards, when trying to access WW2F again, computer blocked access saying site was a problem...I should have taken more notice. But just wanted to get the heck out as soon as possible upon realizing it wasn't ww2f.

    I have received these malware warnings as well ......it seems things are being detected but I don't know what to do about it so I moved to my laptop for a while eventually got them there too. Now I am afraid to go to the forum as often....I only have minimal protection that is free so I hope I don't have serious problems.

    They need to make this nonsense a crime.

    It is a crime. In the US. Problem is, most of these things are usually infected ads in the ad banner, those trigger the virus warning. And those usually originate from another country, like Russia or China. So US laws mean squat.
