soazlaney Posted March 17, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Me too twice. A lot of people over on the Carnival board have reported the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsohn65820 Posted March 17, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 17, 2010 It happened to me too. It said something about viruses and people being able to read your keystrokes. Made me a little nervous, but I'm here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habubabu Posted March 17, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I received 2 different ones. :mad: The first had 2 viruses that Microsoft Security caught and cleaned. The second one took me to a different page altogether and I just closed the window. After each, I updated my Microsoft security essentials and ran a quick scan. Fortunately nothing. I will do a full blown extensive scan shortly. Nothing like this has happened to me with CC before.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneK Posted March 17, 2010 #9 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Me too, around 9:15 CST last night. My McAfee shut the page down. Said it was an unsafe sight?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinreunion Posted March 17, 2010 #11 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I got the same message and McAfee said CC was an unsafe sight and shut it down. I rebooted and it was fine. Scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngestof9 Posted March 17, 2010 #14 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I got a "warning" that Adobe wanted to run a 3D viewer and did I want to run it. I didn't run it and then got an error message, but that's it. I wonder if it's just an ad that needs some sort of viewer to run and it isn't recognized.

luddite Posted March 17, 2010 #17 Share Posted March 17, 2010 There is a very nasty drive-by virus going around. It is very clever. Most anti-virus products will not catch it and it can hide from them and not allow you enter those sites. It continually pops in, telling you that a site is not safe and that you need to download software. It will appear to be very legitimate. It is not. I got rid of it with malwarebytes dot org This is a free download. Here's the rub. The virus recognizes the site and will not let you enter to download the program. You need to get a disc and boot it into the machine, then run it. It will then download an update and do a scan. It took an hour to scan and find the stuff. My history might turn some people away from my advice. Everything above is on up-and-up. The tech-guy from our Sheriff's dept turned me on to the solution. I described my problem and he immediately knew what I had. This one is nasty and I think it goes out with emails. Dan the luddite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngestof9 Posted March 17, 2010 #18 Share Posted March 17, 2010 thanks Dan. I downloaded the anti-malware. I use spybot and adaware as well, but it's good to keep protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just logging on for the first time this morning and received the same message you did. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peg013 Posted March 17, 2010 #21 Share Posted March 17, 2010 A simple system restore to an earlier date will also remove it. Much easier that malware bytes dot com. Try it first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wskon Posted March 17, 2010 #22 Share Posted March 17, 2010 A simple system restore to an earlier date will also remove it. Much easier that malware bytes dot com. Try it first! I picked up a virus on a Dell laptop about a month ago. I went to a link someone had posted and bam I had a virus. It completely shut done my computer. I had a friend that spent hours with it and finally got it cured. The problem is usually from going to links. I now try to only use a wonderful MAC when on CC.

mbisson Posted March 17, 2010 #25 Share Posted March 17, 2010 What.....just Mac and no cheese?:p Remember the uproar when that was offered in the MDR a couple years back? Some felt they were forcing M&C on them. I just thought it was another choice that I could take or not take :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
