Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    After a quick google it sounds like malware on your computer, download and install malwarebyte and run a full scan, see this help article i found:

    No problem, install a free anti virus program and keep it up to date, I would suggest:

    Microsoft Security Essentials - http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ - its free.

    Or one of the other free one's about... also keep an eye on your accounts and visa statement in case anything was stolen while the computer was infected.

    Sorry I am a little confused.

    Google Analytics is not malware, it is a service provided by Google to allow people to get detailed traffic statistics from their websites by using a tiny bit of javascript.

    OP: Are you seeing an actual popup appearing?

    No you are right Google Analytics's is not a virus or malware in itself but there IS malware that disguises itself as such. If you have a look at the link I provided the OP you will see this is the case.
