I went for a peek to see what it was all about - didn't register and literally must have spent 2 mins at the most (no offence) but afterwards my norton detected a trojan and removed it. Booooo!

Unless you download something from a website there is no way that simply visiting a page can infect a computer with anything. You have to give permission to access your machine. The advert most likely asked you to click on something and if you did and allowed it access then and only then would a problem occur. If the advert pops up don't click anything on it, just press escape.

I got some pop up that I couldn't get rid of however I tried, then couldn't reboot machine. I know lots of people who have had problems with viruses from different freeforums sites so we're not the only ones. And it seems that it doesn't affect lots of people

I have been accessing on mac, pc and iphone and havent had an issues so far at all.

sorry to hear some of you are having this problem

I got this same pop up from another website before.I'm not very IT literate so this might not make sense but I'll try to explain.

I clicked on the thing which said I had a virus.I was really worried and then something said I needed a programme called Personal Antivirus to remove it.

My computer then stopped booting up and I took it to a repair shop. The guy there told me the Personal Anti virus is itself and basically it'll ask you for money to install a programme to rid you of the trojan. There is no trojan, and if you pay the money it'll end up taking much more money from your account.

I don't know how you get rid of it without going to get it fixed so this isn't much help but don't pay out any money for the Personal Antivirus thing. I've now got avast virus scanner which (touch wood) is excellent and free

I didn't download anything at all - not from that site or any other. It was dead weird, All I know is that after I went on there and then my norton detected a trojan. Weird!

Its not just freeforums that is having the problem with it, I got infected from a minutes lapse on a google link! Took me bloody ages to get rid of it. Wouldn't shut down, unless I cut the power. Best thing to do is get you hard drive partitioned so that is store the factory settings seperately. I can reinstall them at will which gets rid of 99% of my troubles!! Have also installed AVG and the thing seems to have stopped trying now, thank goodness!

I haven't had any problems at all. I've been using it on the pcs at home and work, and on my iPhone. It's all been fine. I've got antivirus stuff on the pc. The only problem I've had is that it's not working this morning! Ho hum. I reckon Darren sabotaged it!

Es fácil perder la noción del tiempo y del dinero cuando estás en racha, así que las herramientas de control son vitales. Busco sitios como bassbet-es.net que ofrezcan límites de depósito en la configuración de la cuenta. Es inteligente establecer un tope diario o semanal tan pronto como te registras. Las opciones de autoexclusión también deberían estar disponibles si necesitas un descanso. Un operador responsable siempre hará que estas herramientas sean fáciles de encontrar.
