virus warning reported
Jul 9 2009, 2:39 PM EDT | Post edited: Jul 9 2009, 2:39 PM EDT
This doesn't show up on my computer (so far) but another forum mentioned that there is a virus warning attached to visiting my Wetpaint site. Could you please investigate this? Is it related to the Golden Paint Can competition? The only ads on my site is the Wetpaint wiki stuff at the bottom of the page. <http://itsaboutthehorse.myfastforum.org/about2232.html&highlight=>

Just wondering, did anyone else get a virus warning when you visited the paddock paradise site. I did and apparently could not be disinfected, so I got out right away...anybody else?

Well, I just visited your site...I didn't see anything about a virus... Is there a place that it shows or what? Did anyone else reply that they also got it?

Wetpaint did have viruses in the past, well malware problems with ads.

You should read more information here: http://wetpaintcentral.com/page/Wetpaint+Status/, this will keep you updated on this kind of information.

Thanks for looking and reporting back. It helps to know that not everyone is seeing it. I remember a malware problem with the ads, right about the time I paid to remove the ads - I was glad that I did! But I don't think the person would have reason to make up having seen a virus warning. Nobody has posted to the Paddock Paradise wiki yet about seeing it. But if it's a new problem, I was hoping to jump on it before it gets worse.

If anyone sees a virus warning while on a Wetpaint site, please take a screen capture of the page at the time it happens. Be sure to note what ads are on the page. Do you find this valuable?
