WOW!! I am on the just about every day, not for very long, but almost everyday. I assure you that if there is or was a virus on here it was not directed towards any person, ip address or email address and Marty had nothing to do with it if there was one (LOL). I am very sorry for any inconvience this has caused anyone.

This happened to me on 3 seperate computers. Refuse the fix and download it offers. I think its someone trying to get your info. I ran my own scans on all 3 computers and they came back safe with no detected problems. Once i refused the fix and downloads offered by the random virus scan that said my computer was infected it never again returned. I,m by far no computer genius but it seemed fishy to me from the get go and i refused the fix offered and went to norton that i trust to run a scan and all has been ok on all 3 computers so far.

If this was in the form of a popup, that is why I never saw it, as I have popups disabled.

That little program tried to get me too. I have the Woodsbuggy home page bookmarked and it never even came up. The window that opened said Windows Defender, but the giveaway was the internet bar showed it was coming from a site called "scan soft" or something.

Ok Willie boy, YOU need to lay YOUR pipe down for a minute 8) and read the post that are on here, cause apparently something was going on. I'm the one that started this and it was NOT BS. It got me twice. I was trying to be kind and warn THE SITE and EVERYONE that comes here that there was a problem. I don't HATE anyone, that's against my rules. You could call me a sissy though. :wink:

I can see where it would be easy to be defensive,,the title was a bit strong on the other site and it seems the term "Virus" may be a little strong too. I still have not been exposed but obviously others have. I don't know that these things don't follow us from another site. I don't know,,but glad you had faith to come back and post Kathy. Hope to ride with yall soon. And thanks for watching out for us.

I suspect it is malware that is trying to get 50 bucks to clean off a Virus that does not exist. Run Spybot to get rid of it. may take 2 passes.

Yea, that's what it is. I've got AVG anti virus software and it caught it as soon as I clicked on WB. Went to Wes' and it did the same thing. Marty had emailed me on Dec. 23 and I sent him a reply but he apparently didn't receive it, I wish he had gotten it so he could have posted it, that may have kept this little incident from happening. Anyway it's seems ok right now. Here's a copy of the email.

From:
"Wes Baker" <railridernky@yahoo.com>
Add sender to Contacts
To:
"Marty Robinson" <mrfirebug@gmail.com>

It's not actually a virus even though it acts like a virus. It's called a malware. It's actually a ploy to get you to buy software. Once you have it, it's not going to show up. If you delete your history and cookies then click on Woodsbuggy it will pop up saying you have a virus, at that point if you click cancel to remove it, that is when it actually downloads the virus. When the window pops up you should click on ok and close out your browser. Wes said to call him and he will explain it to you. 502-223-8472.

I see you believe WB has a virus,,,,I have not seen any. Do you know what it is called? My antivirus has not found it either. Merry Christmas

James, start your computer up in safe mode and try to delete it that way. If that don't work you can download "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" for free at http://malwarebytes-anti-malware.softwa ... 7QodHl-CZQ.
