Just sayin'. Sheesh, newbies.
While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

Re: Malware warning from PAFOA?

Probably ANOTHER one of these programs that freak out over Flash code or Javascript driven code (e.g. the ads on the site)

On a serious note, has this happened before? Originally Posted by King 5.45

That was my experience when I used Windows everyday.

Re: Malware warning from PAFOA?
FWIW, even google ads occasionally bring up this warning. Allowing javascripts / cookies when you dont know what you are doing could potentially be more dangerous than the oft warning

If you get such a warning, wait a few minutes and see if it repeats. Otherwise, I highly reccomend AVG free

Re: Malware warning from PAFOA?
lol avast........an even bigger lol @ the people who still use AVG since they've sold out to yahoo, and encode yahoo malware and the yahoo toolbar into their virus scanner. Also both of those cause problems w/ older direct x games when it comes to the networking area of them.
Best advice is to ditch either of those programs, and get comodo security or Eset NOD32 (what the pro's use)
