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.

    Can anyone identify the attached file as a genuine discovery of viruses. I had previously run a Microsoft Essentials scan without finding any threats. The attached file appeared as I was accessing an image of Jerry Lewis (really!).

    Install Malwarebytes, update and then run in Safe mode

    It is a scam, trying to get you to download software to 'fix' the fake problem, when in fact the program you download is the virus.

    Just what I thought. The fact that they use logos that infer they're Microsoft products is sneaky and vile. Thanks.
