    Did SBR give me a virus?
    Edit by SBR Lou: Thank you for this report. We see false positives in AVs once in a while, usually due to a line of code it doesn't like. No malicious code lives on SBR servers. Our IT team is investigating the particular message and will attempt to make it go away.

    ______________________________

    My antivirus program reported a blocked intrusion attempt via SBR poker. This is probably a false positive, but it's worth seeing if anybody has had any problems. Below is the report from Norton: (Since it's blurry, the attack is supposed to have generated from "keyforgetrigh2funds.info")

          Yeah, whatever is setting off the programs is definitely coming from SBR. The blurry Norton pic I posted claims the attack came from the website mentioned in the OP via SBR poker.

            i am thinking it is something to do with the ads. i noticed it loads the ads at the bottom of the forum when you log in.. i am no computer genus but it might have something to do with that

              I have an ad blocker so I'm not sure if it's that.

              Whois information on the attack site is \

                                      I am getting a windows expected a error and makes me close the window and then restores. I am also getting malicous attacks defense from malwarebytes everytime i try to log in to sbr now. I just had to reinstall my windows this morning because i got a virus from somewhere and now i know where it came from. I was thinking it was from the ads on here but I really dont know now.

                                            Hi guys,

                                            We see this come up once in a while whenever one of the AVs sees either an ad or line of javascript it doesn't like. We'll try to determine exactly what the false-positive is in some of the programs to resolve it; but no, there is of course no way you'd get a "virus" from using SBR.

We see false positives in AVs once in a while, usually due to a line of code it doesn't like. No malicious code lives on SBR servers.

                                                              My antivirus program reported a blocked intrusion attempt via SBR poker. This is probably a false positive, but it's worth seeing if anybody has had any problems. Below is the report from Norton: (Since it's blurry, the attack is supposed to have generated from "keyforgetrigh2funds.info")
