Why do I get messages from my virus protector saying answerbank is infected and tries to prevent me logging on

[Caran]

[Mr k]

I just had the same ....

[MarkRae]

I'm getting them too. I'm assuming it's what's known as a "false positive". Are you using AVG...?

[Mr k]

I am..

[oscardoodles]

My Norton 360 just notified me of a known attacker trying to access computers via Internet Explorer.....do a scan to be sure.

[ChuckFickens]

Nothing for me from kasperski and norton thinks it OK too

[NoMercy]

I have AVG and I just got the same.

[ChuckFickens]

Think AVG is throwing out false positives

Hiya yogi....I was rude on my own thread and never said hello

;-((

[boxtops]

That's useful to know factor, thank you. I was on AB an hour ago and it froze and then the internet connection went down - not sure if this is connected?! - but I've had no danger messages myself as yet, I'm on Norton.

[yogi-bear]

Hiya back again, pasta x.....and no worries :0)
