Infected file on GenesReunited

[Tiddles]

After ready other peoples remarks about GenesReunited being infected. I will not be renewing my subscription next month.
I also get very little from the site (people often don't repl).

ssssh Steve!

I only mentioned it because I thought that might be a reason why some people got the  trojan messages and others didn't.

Well I've just waded through a load of techie squabbling on this thread and all I really wanted to know was whether it would cause a problem with my computer and if and when it's safe to go back in GR.

Don't care if it's a or a (couldn't find a pic of a worm) or even a , I just want to know when it's safe to go back in.

As far as I`m concerned theres no problem, like some I haven`t experienced a problem so either its a false positive & your security is at fault or its a genuine problem & your security is at fault for failing to protect you.

seems to be all clear now....

What I am saying Steve is that when people hover over a name/link on their update list then it might not contain the standard link.

I obviously need someone that has had a problem to confirm whether that is true or not.

Just to re-iterate Genes Reunited is not infected with malware.

Its NOT genes as downside has said.... its associated with the ad scripting, which might or might not be giving out false messages. It happens sometimes.  Genes at least acknowledged and took it seriously enough to investigate the advertising, which appears to be all clear now.

Lynda I suggest you also run the Malware Bytes software on your laptop as mentioned way back in this thread. That way you will give yourself peace of mind!
