I just got a warning from my Avast antivirus that I was opening an application which might be potentially unsafe. All I had open were three USMB windows. I was starting to post a thread in one. So I don't know where the app could have come from other than this site ... perhaps one of the ad links?
Avast suggested that I open it in the "sandbox" until I was sure it was safe. I opted to shut off the computer.
In lieu of attempting a screenshot I jotted down the origin Avast gave for the file:
www.vermarts.com/neoncountry/673846582892
.

About 30 minutes ago with only the USMB homepage open I got this message about exploit.drop.7 trying to execute on my computer. This is the first time I've seen this message. I turned off my computer, restarted, deleted the .exe file, and am now going to try to figure out how to tell if I have the infection or if I stopped it in time.

Let me know when you get it fixed, USMB.

That's a pretty common way of infiltration. BLOCK all pop-ups

My Norton Anti-Virus just fended off no less than five attempts to break into my system. You guys really, really need to get this fixed.

Yeah,i thought it was gone. But it's still lurking here somewhere. Hope they can get on this.
My Norton just blocked an attempt a few minutes ago.

It seems to only attack when you write a reply.

It could be from some posters here who don't like your posts. Could be attacking individual posters. Who knows? I just hope they can solve this problem soon. I really do like this site.

I haven't had any problems with this site, are you sure you guys didn't get a virus from looking at porn sites or something?
Didn't get a virus, had one blocked. I was on the site and it was the only tab I had open.

I don't see how that' technically possible...
But to the point, the problem seems to have cleared up as of today. So good work, USMB team.

Today's version:
When that popped up what did you do? Would it let you x out of it? Ctrl/alt/del?
