Okay now this time the NS computer virus was after me! Not my friend or any innocent NS members so I really feel like I am in danger. The worst of this is that my previous thread "NS COMPUTER VIRUS" was moved to site discussion where most NS members never lurk. Please NS don't let this be put to the side the problem is being resolved said one moderator but this is a week later and it happened to me. If this isn't resolved you will loose a lot of members due to this spy ware found on your website!

I'm pretty sure that a virus is not the reason you have lower karma every time you log on.

Ok, we're working hard on this one. Problem is, we can't re-create it because it isn't happening to any of us.

We need more info from you guys, or it will be impossible to figure out.

First - please give system info about yourself when saying it happened.

Second - If you can, quickly grab a screen capture. If not, note as much as you can about the page, what ads, what thread, what section, etc.

Third - Please get protection. AVG antivirus (free) - http://free.avg.com/ and Spybot SD - http://download.cnet.com/Spybot-Search-amp-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html?tag=mncol

Both are free and good. If you aren't protected, then these things can be coming from an infected computer, not the site.

Please, do these things and start providing as much info as you can. We'll figure it out.

Okay this is what happened to me. I formatted my computer, well upgraded to Windows 7. Then I installed Fire Fox and upgraded all my drivers and installed my virus protector ESET NOD32 Anti-virus system. After I got all my pictures and everything I wanted to keep from what I had before I formatted. After awhile I got onto NS on firefox and made it my homepage. Lets make this clear. THE ONLY THING I DID WAS LOG ONTO NS. Nothing else but the MSN homepage and Mozilla homepage to download Fire Fox. Now while I was on NS I was just browsing the forum replying to threads and what not and randomly I got this pop up that was obviously an internet window that looked like a windows alert that said my computer may be at risk and said you need to make a free virus scan and it has an okay button or an close button that was vista style and I don't have vista so basically it was trying to install a Trojan to my computer and I was able to avoid such happenings but it happened 3 times and it happens at random there wasn't a certain thread I clicked on every time or a picture or anything. And I know this did not come from any other site because I hadn't done anything but go to those three sites.
