Getting "virus pop-ups" when browsing the forum..

Those are standard JavaScript functions, none of which should trigger a virus warning.

I'd go with my original theory that Avira fails.
 
Eh, JavaScript can be detected as malware upon certain functions that are set to execute/run in it.

Remember CrashIE? "JavaScript loop"
 
Turned out to be a false positive

You can haz lock.
 
No, reply and ask why it was being detected as a virus to prevent future issues such as this one.
 
That doesn't really mattered, the good thing is that Avira will remove this in a next update.

Great that this is sorted :holmes:

Thanks guys for reporting AND putting effort in finding out what's wrong.

You all received a cookie :T

"Problem" solved. Lock.
 
Topic unlocked.

I replaced a lot of files from a fresh SMF 1.1.10 download.
Any changes?
 
As i stated in the other topic, i still get the messages.

I'm starting to ponder upon thinking this has something to do with external images/videos/content of some sort....

PS: I only get them at Forum Games.
 
Yes I know that you are Frostbytez. I said that because then other people would know what you meant with "the other topic".
 
Oh, i see.

Thank you for clarifying this for the understanding of others.
 
I thought someone pointed out that there was some malicious shit left from the old chatbox in the cache? Then clear the cache folder?
