Did you really need to start this thread? If you didn't like the original thread, then dont read it. Not a hard thing to do.

My computer caught a virus on that thread. I thought it was the prudent thing to do. I never even got to read the content.

I consider you a great poster & would never do anything malicious to one of yours (or about 90%) of the other posters threads.

My bad.

Thanks for the heads up.

By the way, I am a prince in Nigeria. I have a jillion dollars held up in a US bank. If you can help me retrieve it I'll share it with you. Just give me your bank account info for the transfer. And I'll even throw in a couple of cool lion skins.

I apologize, Jw0595. I misinterpreted your post. Thank you for the nice compliment and correcting my mistake. Take care, fellow poster.

Were you on a desktop or your phone?

Do you have A/V & malware protection?

I'm not doubting you. Rather, I'm curious the depth of your security protocols for this to occur.

I’m guessing the malware was on his end, either browser or OS. No one else seems to have had the issue and there were no links or interactive attachments on the thread.

Pretty bold to have apparently mitigated the threat so quickly only to return to the site again. Have to credit for trying to warn others but the best course would be to immediately notify the SysAdmins from another known safe device.
