I have recently been getting a number of blocked virus messages from the popups on this site while changing from group to group.
Is anyone else seeing this activity?
I had one that manage to squeak in and it took some effort to remove.
Thanks.

No problem here. I have AVG Pro and Malwarebytes Pro. And Adblock. Nothing much gets past them.

Used to have problems. Added Adblock plus and Malwarebytes, both of which have free applications. Haven't had a problem since.

I usually get a pop-up requesting me to upgrade my Flash Player. I just ignore it. Never click on any pop-up, ever, these are full of viruses, or hi jack programs.

Keep in mind that your browser brings many of these pop-ups with it when you log in to UHH. If I've been shopping for guitars prior to logging on here, guitars start popping up in ads.

I am one of the unfortunate ones....I don't know if it came from this site or a linked site/pop up, but my computer was hijacked by the crypto virus which basically encrypts all your files. It even affected my backup external hard drive which was attached. I needed to replace the hard drive, spend hours to recreate everything, and now putting a sonic firewall. Some really bad people out there

You are right , when they caught them (if that happen) they work for the "government " after a slap on the wrist :lol: :lol:

I never click the popups so I didn't pay any attention to them until you had this problem so I added AdBlock to my Chrome and now there is nothing going on with my computer.
