yep- as soon as I posted in the zone from my work computer - It got a virus and crashed big time.
wiped my doc & photos out, disabled the task mngr, blocked me from using the start menu... took IT most of the day to clean up the hard drive and I still cant post on the forums from my work computer- the computer keeps blocking the forums from loading for some reason

seems some people are affected and some are not

As soon as I logged on last night my computer crashed big time also, wiped everything out, I guess when I had my computer fixed a few months ago they didn't put anti virus back on, sending this from wifes computer as mine is right f'ed black screen and won't do anything

guess it's going to the shop, everytime I click the home page on here with wifes computer it tell me it anti virus blocked something.

OK, now we have to wonder just how long the Forum Godz will wait to make an announcement that they have been hacked and take actions to make the site SAFE to browse again. Heads up guys, YOUR SITE HAS BEEN HACKED, TURNED INTO AN ATTACK SITE.

I'm still getting the same message from Norton. It's been days now. I hate to think what would have happened without the protection. Doesn't sound good.

Default Blackhole warning

So far this is the only site I am getting the warning from. Being that AVG is smarter than me I will just be on the side until this is cleared up. Sure hope it does not take long. Issue only started today.

I've forwarded the virus concerns to IB.
