Mylot keeps redirecting me to some virus thing?!?!

You have been attacked by malware, this is serious, it comes up like an anti virus right? There must also be an icon in the bottom right . Download a software called Malwarebytes anti malware, update it and then scan your pc the malware will be removed.

that sounds pretty bad, i haven't got it at all.

This is a Mylot/Firefox glitch that somebody wrote about yesterday. As long as you have a decent commercial antivirus program running, I wouldn't worry about it until April 1 when the Conficker virus is supposed to hit. Since you recently purchased your laptop, there should be Norton on it. That's not my favourite, but it does work somewhat. I'd definitely think about something like Trend Antivirus (PCCillin). I'v been using them for over 20 years since I worked on mainframes and have never been hit with a virus.

To be frank I an mot getting this and also can tell you that it is because of their technical problems that you are getting this redirecting note. I too had got hrom Yahoo mail but no virus thing had attacked me. Be assured nothing untoward would happen to you.

I don't know that, have you tried to upgrade your antivirus? or have you tried to use another browser on signing in on Mylot? if you try to use another browser and the problem still exist, then it must have been your computer who is having a problem. See to it that your anti virus is updated specially there is another coming virus on April 1.

isit some pop out pages? if yes you need to block pop out from your virus software

You are not the only one. Actually I was starting to think that maybe I was the only one as I had something like this happen to me earlier today in here as well. I do have McAfee that is included for Free with my ISP so I know I am protected, but I had to go back to an earlier time with my Computer to turn that thing off as well. I wish myLot could keep this from happening to more of us here for sure.

This was happening to me a couple weeks ago, but I haven't been on much lately so I don't know if it's fixed or not. It's actually a worm site and if you allow it to "scan" your computer it tells you that you have a virus. It also tells you that for like $30 it will sell you the program to get rid of the virus. DON'T let it do a "complete" scan and DON'T buy the program. There's a way to delete it if you search the web for the software that it tells you to buy (and the web answer is actually free). I've had to get rid of this a few times because it's kinda hard to stop once it gets going... Be careful. It's really a shame that something like that is going on here.

Does it want you to download anything? some of us had a problem with that a while back....it would say something about a virus then want you to download their security plan...don't do it!

Problem in your computer not in mylot. Friend you can download kaspersky for 30days trail and can scan you computer for virus and remove virus.This not mylot problem,its your computer problem

I havent had this happen to me at all! I'd do a scan for viruses on your computer.

so far not yet! but maybe your cursor was in some adverisements then it happans that the vius scan has signal.it happen to me but nt in mylot in some sites where we send we copy comemnts or graphics.

I haven't had that problem. Maybe it's because I use Firefox instead of other web browsers? I'm not entirely sure, but most pop-ups aren't opened by Firefox and Internet Explorer is pretty lenient with pop-ups. My advice is try using another web browser, preferably Firefox.

Well i dont know if we have the same problems, i use opera and i keep gettin this download octet-stream popup i keep cancellin it but it still pops up on its own but this is not only on my lot..can someone tell me what it means.

I wasnt on here at all yesterday and I just logged in right now for today so obviously its not happened to me yet....Hopefully it doesnt either.

I have not had it happen yet Oh gosh... I have 2 computers and 1 is already kaput Hope nothing happens to this one too. When did this start?
