This is what keeps popping up!!
{{!gwi}}

they are free virus and worm protection program, like AVG. we used to have AVG until i got a nasty virus surfing at TMZ lol avg caught it but we switched to those 2 programs that are more sophisticated ~ liz

You have a virus/trojan. NEVER click on that message, and run all your safety software ASAP>

I'm getting that same thing.

I second what Sushipup said. Many of those alerts are malware. Shut down immediately and run a scan.

For the infected file name it says 'temporary internet files', I'd try deleting my temporary internet files and see if that helped.

I had the same thing. I just ran a scan. We'll see if I get it again.

It's happening to alot of people.

Google "viruscleaner removal instructions". Also Google "Resident Shield Alert".

I got it too, but I wasn't sure if I got it at TMZ or here, as I clicked from TMZ to KT quickly and got the message.

I ran a scan and didn't find anything.

I don't think I'll come back here for a while just in case.

I ran a scan and had 10 of that virus. It took care of it and removed it though!

I have gotten it twice here today also.. Wonder what is going on..

You need to be dumping ALL of your cache and temp files on a regular basis. That takes care of a lot of issues. Run not only your antivirus but also run one or two anti-malware programs. I like Spybot and a-squared the best but Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware are pretty good too. Be sure you have all current Windows Updates and keep your antivirus and malware programs updated too. Spywareblaster is another good program to use.

And you're better off to stay away (far, far away) from Internet Explorer too. I'll bet the ones with these troubles are using the Internet Elephant.... Am I right?

I got it too. Both on exployer & firefox.
Ran a scan on AVG, said I an infection. Tried to get rid of it & it says object is inaccessible..Don't know what to do now.
I also went to another site, It popped up their too.

Hope someone can help

Any Mac users having this problem? I haven't seen it.

Cynic I am use Firefox only..I have scanned 5 ways to Sunday and haven't found anything on my computer. I dont know what is going on.

I ran several different scans last night before going to bed..AVG,SuperAntiSpyware, and MalAware..and neither of them found anything. Got up this morning and there's the WARNING again. Closed everything out, uninstalled AVG and installed Avast, ran a scan and nothing. I clicked on my link to the KT and so far the warning hasn't appeared!! Something, I'm not sure what..is going on here at GardenWed. I found this while I was doing a search on removal of whatever it is!

I have a Mac....no problems.

I ran scans for virus and malware last night, AVG removed one virus. I left KT. Came back this am, same box popped up saying there was a virus threat. I'm up to date on all virus and malware, just got my computer back a few weeks ago, and run updates daily. The only email I got from a KT'er, it was run thru my AVG and said no virus. Don't know where this is stemming from.

I have a mac, too, so no problems.

Another MAC person here too. No problems.

I have AVG. It said I had eight of that virus. I thought I had removed it, but came back here and it showed up again. I don't use Internet Explorer. I guess I need to find better security software.

Me too! Ran AVG and found 2 threats/viruses or whatever which were removed. What's going on???? Is it connected to GardenWeb?

Also, I have had an unusual number of viagra emails. I could block them but then I know I would miss emails I want.

I ran a whole system scan last night and it found nothing. Then I deleted all my temp. files. Now this morning I'm getting the "Resident" message. But my computer's running a lot faster.

I use Opera...zone alarm and ad aware...no problems...

Getting the same Alerts with IE and Firefox. I have run all my scans and only had 3 tracking cookies.

The odd thing is I have tried other GW forums such as Garden Party, Birding, Shrubs, etc. and the only one where I get the Alert is Computer Help.

Also I can't use the back button at KT or CompHelp.

So after I submit this I have to Exit.

Has anyone sent a message to iVillage? I will if I can get back in.

Sue

It's not iVillage. It's from other places, I am sure.

I hAd a nice communication from ivillage that they aware and are working on it. Something about avg tagging an ad as a threat. I would copy And paste their message but I don't know how on the iPhone.

So it's a link on one of their ads? I use Firefox and AdBlock, so I see no ads at all.

It has nothing to do with those of us that are using the Internet Elephant (by choice in my case) as you call it nor does it have anything to do with garden web or the antivirus or spybot or whatever everyone is using. I have firefox and other browsers. They are all doing the same thing. Cnet is reporting that AGV is experiencing a problem and it is not just at Garden Web.
a quote from them........."It is not infected. This is a problem with AVG and it is happening on other sites as well. AVG is notorious for false positives"

as I suspected AVG is having issues..

I have 3 PCs running Opera (with K-meleon, Firefox and Chrome as alternatives), AVG and no problems here.

There can easily be a false positive. Panda is notorious for it to the extent that I pulled it off any machine that would come through. Assuming it's a false pos, it should clear in an update or two. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be taking the other precautions anyway.

Often something like this gives people a wakeup slap in the face reminder that's occasionally needed.

A while ago I finally put two and two together and realized I ONLY had problems with my PC after visiting GardenWeb.com.

Everything would be fine, and then, just after just one visit to GardenWeb.com, everything would go haywire with my computer. I thought the problem may have come from one of the threatening emails I often get from Gardenweb posters occasionally who disagree with me on some topic for some strange reason.

But I think now, that it is something to do with the GardenWeb site itself that is messing with my computer.

I had the same virus pop up 3 times last night and I also use AVG. AVG has been having issues lately. The latest is forcing your computer to reboot after every update. It's been VERY annoying.
