Please don't use avast.It's rubbish and don't let a product like that scan the websites you are surfing.It only wastes resources unless you're using IE or planing on actively installing viruses.EDIT:Before anyone gets angry, I didn't mean to offend anyone.... my meds that I probably should be taking didn't kick in yet.What I actually meant to say is that you will always get false positives at one point or another and that you're pretty safe with whatever you're doing as long as you don't install stuff from non-trusted sources.It's highly unlikely that the REX forum is contaminated in any kind of way.

Yes, I got this yesterday, I assumed as REX is a tursted source I could just ignore the warning

Please don't use avast.

Why not?

Why not?

Just do a Google search on AntiVirus application comparisons..... like below:http://anti-virus-software-review.toptenreviews.com/You'll find Kaspersky, BitDefender, Panda and a couple of others are constantly at the top of the heap. Generally freeware A/V programs will throw up more false positives than payware, are more difficult to control and don't protect as well.

Ok thanks for the tip. The unfortunate thing is that I purchased AVG Home and the damn thing does not like my Level D 767,as seen here http://www.leveldsim.com/forums/forum_post...&PID=149982 it stops it loading. So thats why I got Avast as I did not want to pay for more virus after paying for AVG. Its a case of dammed if you do dammed if you dont

Had BitDefender and got rid of it because it turned into a pig. Support is pretty good.Had Norton and got a couple of bad viruses so I dumped it. Support SUCKS.Got Avira Prem Suite and NO problems, only one false positive. Support OUTSTANDING.I don't trust that review. It doesn't seem to change much anyway.

Folks we are looking into this with Network Solutions AND Google. The site is up for review with Google administrators after a "Secure I" full-scan was completed and showing all negative for any spyware/malware or Trojans. We appreciate your patience in the matter, but just know it is in fact safe.Thank you,Tim
