WTF? That's the only place I've been tonight and my virus scan just popped up and said, "McAfee has caught and removed a Trojan". Ugh!
Could JJB be giving me trojans?

Do you have adblock on? My computer would do that stuff before I had that.

It is very possible. Especially with some of the ads here.

It used to happen a lot here. I think most people have Ad Block Plus, now, to help. Do you have that?

No Ad-block. How do I get it? Is it a Firefox thing?
I've never had this trouble with IE before.  I haven't visited any new websites or anything. Weirdness!

Yeah, my program has caught a few malicious things from here. They must be in the ads.

Does JJB has some adult oriented ads?
Also, many file sharing sites are known to be infested with spyware and malware. Have you downloaded anything from media central? |

I got a lot of evil virus things here. Adblock is a firefox thing but I think my new IE has some kind of adblock thing too.

I don't use any file sharing sites, and I don't download anything from media central.
I'm using Firefox now, and I don't see ads in the threads anymore. However, when I logged into Yuku I got a FutonCritic popup. WTH? That's never happened with IE. I'm just freaking out because this is a new computer. I don't have time to deal with this foolishness. That's why I have McAfee! |

I keep getting actual popups now, even with this AdBlock Plus thing. I must have another trojan. I guess McAfee didn't catch it this time. I don't know
what I'm doing wrong here.

Oh I'm so glad I have a Mac. I used to have a Dell and it crashed three times in two years because of viruses and I really never downloaded music or
anything. I've had a Mac for three years.. never had a virus problem or anything like that. I've really never had any problem except when my hard drive
crashed, but they gave me a new one. I love my Mac.

My computer just crashed when I opened the videos. At least I was able to open a post long enough to block them.
