Virus in Surface Forum

[Arizona Willie]

Yesterday and again today, my virus program has been sounding an alarm and popping up a message that it has blocked a file from the Surface web pages.

3 times since I logged in that darn thing has gone off.

I suspect someone may have hacked into the pages and planted a virus or two or three.
Probably in the ads.

Or perhaps a false positive being reported by your Anti Virus?

It's been fine here for me; I'm using KAV...but let's see what others are experiencing.

By the way, what are you using?

Nothing here with Defender, and nothing has got on to my PC either.

 

[GreyFox7]

No problems here with Win RT Although a few weeks back I encountered a spate of browser hijackings to ADs on this site but nothing since then.

 

[VickiFL]

No problems for me, and I'm running Bitdefender.

 

[Spider]

Avast & Defender both come up clean.

Could it be that those not experiencing the issue are using ad-blocking software?

 

[sharpuser]

I have agressive ad-blocking, and see no such virus evidence.
@Arizona Willie, be sure to dump your cache, drink plenty of fluids, and don't connect with too many people for awhile.

I also have pretty aggressive anti virus settings and have never had an issue in Firefox, IE or Chrome and I use all three for this site.

FWIW I'm using Adblock Plus and NoScript. No problems on the site.

 

[malberttoo]

I use AdBlock Plus on Chrome, tracking protection (EasyList and Privacy List) on Metro IE, and Nod 32 Antivirus. Have never had a single issue with the site.

Clean for me....
