Pop ups
« on: September 30, 2016, 08:39:25 PM »
 Have been notified by a member that he is getting those damn pop ups claiming "you have a virus" while logged on to WG . Anyone else getting these ? One of you pooter geniuses help us out here. The boss has been made aware , but he is busy trying to sort out the Cal Sport that belongs to the Lady Boss  :laugh:

 There is no virus on the server.   It is automatically scanned every day and results are emailed to me. The last scan was it 3 PM today and we are clean. The last scan was it 3 PM today and we are clean.

It's possible that the Google syndication scripting may provide an avenue for something, but it doesn't happen often. It wouldn't be an issue with Wildguzzi itself, but with the material being linked in by other sources.

Of course, an even more likely cause is that the specific user has either already been compromised, or that their browser is open with more than one tab, and another site is the source of the problem.

  Nothin' but high quality Guzzi info here fellas. No pop ups, no spam, no ads. Just the way I like it.

No issues here. I do run a full virus scan on my lap top every week.
yeah, I might be addicted to brake fluid. But I can stop any time I want.
