Name: Rogue scanner (type 1027)

I've had that 2 or 3 time sover the last few days.

Close down the site, and the browser you used to access it

Then start all over again.


You can run your anti-virus program if you wish.

Also let GR support know

WILL DO NOW THANKS

There have been other threads about this problem.

Probably being caused by one of the adverts on the site.

I came on this site yesterday am and a window popped up re
detected Trojan (can't remember which one) I ignored this and didn't even go to the cross at the top of that window.

Went back to desktop had a window saying it had detected 237 Trojans in one file and over 200 in about 2 other files including pictures and documents.

Anyway I closed down and restarted my pc then did a scan. My security PC Shield Delux had found 1 Trojan and neutilised it. It then said I was very well protected.

I have a daily scan (automatic) when I first5 boot up my computer.
All other sites no problem but the same thing happened when I came back onto GR later that morning.

Im very well protected and couldn't be happier with my anti virus.

I have had messages in the past which say they have detected so many problems - then they tell you to download something 'free' and if you do that, they find even more, telling you how serious a couple of them are.
All you have to do then, is download their software - after you tell them your credit card number, and you've bought their software product!!

Don't fall for it. They have hacked into your computer and sometimes are very persistent. Close the system down and run your usual checker, then try again.

JUST HAD REPLY
A NICE ONE

THERE INVESTIGATING THEIR ADVERTS AND TAKEN IT SERIOULY
AND APPOLOGISED
ITS NOT GR ITSELF JUST THE ADVERTS,,
