Not sure if it's too late but I use a free program called bitdefender on my MAC laptop. seems to work very well and I usually scan for viruses monthly.
I have been using Viper for quite some time, somehow, this issue got passed it with zero detection. Not sure what it is thats on the drive, I just know it is not functional. Rather than use HP & spend a lot of time with a service rep plus have to pay for the service, I opted to take it to a local computer repair. I have never had anything like this happen to me & it is rather disturbing. I was up in the wee hours this morning tossing & turning worried about other things being breached. This really sucks.

Yes, that certainly sucks when you get a virus like that. Happened to me once on a Company issued computer, I was click baited to something that caught my interest and bam! And it wasn't even raunchy, so these hacks are out there and really ffffing things up. Hope it all turns out well fr you and hope they get that freaking thing off the discussion board page.

Still there, and I find it odd that Yamadooed's post says he posted at 8:40PM today when it is 4:55 PM EST today currently.

That strange ad didn't show up at the entry of the Discussion Board. Gary, do you know any details?

No, he's still with us and I haven't heard back from anyone yet. Seems to be harmless unless you click on it. I'm seeing video of commercials interspaced if you watch for awhile.

I hadn't seen it yessterday, been in & out of the site through out the day. I didn't want to jinx it to find it reappears so I din't say anything. I just logged in a few minutes ago & it's not there, not sure whats going on. I really don't want to see it again. It's disturbing.
