Answer» When I try to open the topic "My computer" that was started by stevener11, my anti virus produces a pop-up that says the accessed file is infected, threat name EXPLOIT Rouge scanner. Has this happened to anyone else? It blocks me from seeing what is written. I see the topic is up to 2 pages so obviously people are able to get in and post. Maybe a BUG with AVG? This is the only topic it does this to. This has already been brought up and it seems that it is a bug with AVG. If you scan the web page with AVG's online scanner, nothing appears. http://www.avg.com.au/resources/web-page-scanner/I did the scan thing and it did not find anything so everything is good. I still can not open that link with AVG running, but my main concern was other people getting a virus. Thanks for the helpThanx for the heads up DAN... It does appear to be on AVG's end.Quote from: hejlik on January 06, 2010, 08:44:16 AM When I try to open the topic "My computer" that was started by stevener11, my anti virus produces a pop-up that says the accessed file is infected, threat name Exploit Rouge scanner.

If you scan the web page with AVG's online scanner, nothing appears.
