Daily Email Virus?
« on: April 04, 2018, 03:26:17 pm »
All I did was type in my captcha, open to the next page then -- buzz, buzz, A virus was detected.  I took no further action but to close the page.

Then I came to the forum to see if anyone else has experienced this today. 

My poor cat got scared from the buzz sound and jumped off of the table.   :cat:  :(

Yes Bet it has happened to me and it also happens when i do the PTC and click on 1 of the advertisments on the right side of page.I quickly click off and have run the virus scan and everything seems ok.

Its annoying and hopefully this isnt a start to something worse.

Scuse me...thats the ads on left side of page with PTC.

I use Avast anti-virus and get a warning on nearly every ad I click on, PTC, the daily email, etc.  I just close the "threat" page and go on.....always get credit, but it is annoying.

I sometimes get the virus warning with the daily email and the sponsored ads on the PTC. Other times I get non relevant ads on the sponsored ads on the PTC. I click on the sponsor and get some non relevant spam. I click off and always get credit.

Wow, so I guess I'm in good company.  Sorry to hear that's it's a common occurrence.  If there's any consolation, I just completed my daily email with no issues at all.  I hope everyone else experiences the same.

I have this same exact problem. My daily email is fine but I always get notified from the ads on the PTC.

I always get those on the PTC and sometimes on the daily email.  At first they had me concerned but now they're just annoying.  I close them out and still get credit.  Hope they're eventually fixed.  :) :)

I thought it was just me but I get what looks like a virus on the daily 2c email. Sure hope it gets fixed soon.

At first I thought Avast was just hyper sensitive but new computer with a year a McAfee and it has the same response too.  It is annoying to see but has not effected anything from crediting (at least so far).

It is interesting that when I did the daily email from my work computer, I did not get a virus warning,  I really think it is an anti-virus issue.  Weird stuff.

I've been having problems completing the daily email. For several days, the captcha thing wouldn't work and I'd have to redo the email 4-5 times, then yesterday it would cause my browser to crash every time I clicked on the submit button and it went to the other page...

NO idea what's up with it lately.
