Something on these forums gave my computer a really nasty virus. What's worse is it's a hijacking virus. The reason I know it came from here is because this is the only site that would open a windows installer window with a program name of "iexplorer". I'll try to provide more info as it comes up.

My computer has flagged me twice with a virus alert while surfing here.

I was able to delete them both

So far I haven't got any warning. Could it be that Avast! Antivirus (free) ignores it?

This is most likely caused by something you've picked up from another site.

I probably visit the forums more than anyone and have yet to encounter any such issue remotely close to this.
