Angry MBWorld Discussion Forums website has virus
Does anyone in this forum get a "JS/Generic" virus warning pop up?. For the last two weeks every time I come here the warning pops up.

I have run a few anti virus programs to no avail. The virus is inaccessible to the anti virus programs.

If anyone has a solution or suggestion, it would be helpful.

Apparently, got rid of virus after running two virus scans simultaneously in safe mode.

Virus threat - it's Java downloader 66m
While browsing the forums, i got a security alert saying a security patch for Firefox was ready for download. I saved the file and then scanned it with AVG. Sure enough, it was the JS/downloader 66mm virus. It was quarantined. This site is rife with them so take due care when these pop-ups show up on your screen. Don't click on them. NEVER allow any product to install updates automatically. That goes for Firefox, Chrome, IE, et.al. Hillary and the DNC didn't practice good security and you saw what happened.

Well I stand corrected. Maybe it isn't on your computer. For the first time ever I just got a bunch of pop ups from this site and I was on my phone!

I've had this happen repeatedly on my mobile (desktop is fine, tested a few).

It's definitely happened. Not sure if DNS poisoning or just a compromised script on the site.
