Virus in Surface Forum

Hmmm, I haven't gotten any warnings here today either but I did the last two days.

Strange. Perhaps the site owners caught whatever was triggering my Avast Premium.

What browser do you use?

Mostly Firefox, but sometimes I run Internet Exploder. Dumped Chrome.

I highly encourage you to give AdBlock Plus a try. Once you've used it for a bit, using any machine without it will flat-out annoy you.

For IE, do the following: Open up Desktop IE, click the gear (Tools) icon, Internet Options. In the Internet Options dialog, click the Programs tab, Manage Add-ons, Click on Tracking Protection, then click on Get a Tracking Protection List Online.

When that page opens, click on "Add" for the top 2- EasyList Standard, and EasyPrivacy.

They are now installed, and doing what AdBlock does in other browsers. It's dumb but you actually have to close the dialog box and re-open it to see the tracking lists now in your window.

I did have AdBlock installed but I didn't have those tracking lists in IE 11 ---- but I do now. Thanks.
