Exclamation Antivirus blocking content on this site
My antivirus software, McAfee, has started blocking " suspicious " content on the Acurazine site. Anyone else getting this warning ?

I would see it on all forums that I visit.I think it had to do with "Flashplayer" usage.Now I don't see it on any forum,including this one.If McAfee wasn't free, through U-verse,I wouldn't use it.

No issues. I use Norton Anti-virus Security suite from Comcast along with Malwarebytes and zero issues with Windows 10 Pro 64bit and Chrome.

It should have a little more detail as to what it's blocked and why, if you can provide a screenshot, we can forward it to the IB team and they can look into it.

I kind of butchered the screen shot using the snipping tool in W10. The warning went away after I signed in. I suspect it relates to all the pop up ads on this site.

I don't get any warning using Chrome.If You click on the M icon, at the top right of the page, it will tell You what they found and how severe the threat may be.What browser are You using?

The tech team is aware of some pop up ads thst have been a bit malicious and are working on identifying and removing those, if you do get any of those ads, please provide a screenshot and post it here:

I think it's the antivirus detecting the contents from Rockyboy's posts.
