Is this the support forum?

Did any of y'all get numerous pop-ups/virus like activity when you tried to access the site? That happened to me for 2 days last week. Had to completely shut down both times, disconnect my line and run scans. I've stayed away from the site until today hoping it would get resolved.

Nope. I'd highly suggest you go download Microsoft Security Essentials and get your machine scanned.

Every so often I'll get a "pop-up was blocked" message from this site. I've got MSE and nothing shows up on my scans with that or Spybot or Malwarebyte or Avira.

That's probably from having a PM waiting. I think there's a setting somewhere to stop popups from new PM's.

There is, under board preferences in the user control panel.

That happened to me at times too. Sometimes Foxfire's Adblock stopped it, sometimes it didn't.

I have Norton 360 and I run scans often. puter seems to be running fine w/out any issues since this happened. Would you still recommend downloading MSE?

Only if you would be wanting to download MSE anyway.

 

The site was down for people for different lengths of time last week. During that time, there was a domain expired site that brought popups up every time you tried to access the site. So once you came back, the site was back up for you and therefore the site with the popups was gone. That's what I'm guessing was what happened to you and you probably don't have any damage on your computer from it.

If you're still getting popups/virus like activity while you're on the actual NSBB site, yes. If you're getting those popups and stuff while still getting the old "domain is parked" page, no.

 

That said, I like MSE much, much better than Norton. And it's free.

Thanks. the pop-ups only occurred when there was problem accessing this site last week, and when they did I shut down, disconnected the internet line, then ran full scans after rebooting. no problems now.

You should be ok then.
