Virus

Ja Gio · 04-22-2015, 07:53 PM

Anybody else picking up a virus from this website? Been going on 4 or 5 days now. Getting some unwanted pop-ups... Gotta run - Norton again.

Administrators - please clean it up.

Twix · 04-22-2015, 09:02 PM

I get nothing, because I have a Mac.

Grovsnus · 04-22-2015, 11:03 PM

What pop-ups? Never seen any on this site.

Mr Kleen · 04-23-2015, 04:01 AM

You picked that up someplace else.

Being new to BMW, and being quite excited about it, I've gone through many old posts going back as far as 2012. I'd guess I got it clicking a link in one of the old posts. It only "re-launches" upon visiting this site, rather than opening a link to the forum, it hijacks me to view an unrelated ad. It's a persistent bug - Norton should have fully resolved it.

Car porn is still porn.

"Car porn is still porn."

That's pretty funny.

JustDave · 04-23-2015, 08:53 PM

Mmmmm, car porn.

Btw, iPad and Mac here, no virus issues

COOLGREANY · 04-24-2015, 08:52 PM

Nothing here. Windows 7. Been taking my meds so maybe that helped.

Ja Gio · 04-25-2015, 09:51 AM

Norton cleans it up each time. I then visit other websites without issue. The pop-ups occur when I come back here. Using my iPad now.

Ja Gio · 04-25-2015, 11:46 AM

Correction, it's happening elsewhere and Norton is not catching it. I will post no more on this subject.
