The last three times I've visited the forum my Norton Anti-Virus software is picking up a Virus. Instead of getting straight to the homepage I'm directed to something called Malware which tells me my computer is running slow and offers a free check which i have ignored. My Norton Anti-Virus is automatically removing it so there's no lasting problem. The name of the virus given by Norton is Downloader.
 
Interestingly I also got it on my other PC too which I have AVG anti-virus software which hasn't picked it up as a Virus.
 
Anyone else getting this?

Yes...I was just going to start a thread on this.

I want it to go away.

 

And perhaps I should run a virus scan now...I thought it was just an advert that was going to give me viruses if I choose to check the computer.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

I've asked M@x to check it out. See the other thread linked to above.
