Yes my Kapersky is too having a dicky fit (started today)
but if i type in the address and come straight to the site no problems, so i think the problem lies between the google page and flirtbox page somewhere.
20.04.2011, 19:51 quote
yes
earlier I did not even get into flirtbox because of the problem I just wrote a note and now am wondering do you think the problem is fixt?
I hope so I went to my tools and defraged and cleaned out my computer and disc cleaned the whole 9yards so I hope that worked not to mention I also turn off my computere when not using it.

No, its nothing to do with google as i'm typing the flirtbox.co.uk address directly into the url bar.

No its not fixed as still getting the warning!
As long as you have up-to-date security you're fine, but i know a lot of people dont!

I notified flirtbox support as well as posting the info on here. Not heard back from them though.

I have done the same. Think it's time to cancel my account, for the risk is too high. The warning of an attempted attack also appears when you log out.
20.04.2011, 21:32 quote
I ran Norton Anti-virus and it continually had to detect and delete threats, but I have been deleted off Flirtbox already, I have sent them both error messages that I have been getting, but I have not heard back from them either. I am worried that I will be deleted again!

Don't know. I'm using IE, but used to avidly use Firefox until someone was allegedly uploading virus-infected plug-ins to Mozilla's site. The reason I left here 6 months ago was due to contact with a scammer via this site, resulting in having to then close my bank accounts, cancel cards and everything else. Not good. You have to do a risk-benefit analysis now, bearing in mind the number of fake profiles on here, scammers en masse, difficulty in getting responses to complaints, and now this issue. If someone's got into the site, every pic you view, and other things - even the buttons on the pages - could be carrying a payload. And here's a little bit of info regarding 91.194.182.31, 80 (the alleged source) - just to make your heart sink further:

No, i dont think it does as its not a particular browser flaw that this particular attack is exploiting.

I initially began Flirtbox using internet explorer, but the version I used was very slow and problems began to arise and ultimately I lost my first attempt at Flirtobx, then I switched to Firefox and have had a very successful run until two days ago when I was deleted again! But I just pulled up some research on Firefox and they ultimately have problems with viruses attatching themselves to the search engine and reeking havoc. So, I just down loaded IE 8 to see how it runs for a little while. I have been getting error messages again through firefox so I do not want to be deleted again! We'll see!

Well no sooner did I post then I got the message that Flirtbox is corrupting IE with viruses. What to do?

Is Firefox somewhat like AVG? because I have AVG for antivirus protecion for my cpomputer and it works just fine.
However before all of this started to happen I wound up having to change my password and had no idea I had to do that and that took a few tries and a 2 days and finially it worked.
So now I am now back and am worried about the virus thing. It scary for me because I have never had to deal with getting a virus out of a computer and don't know how to do it myself and would lovve to learn.
So I don'tee have to rely on other people to do it for me.

Firefox is another version of internet explorer if I am correct in my thinkning and not an internet security thing.
As I said my Kaspersky only had issues when I tried to come to flirtbox via google.
Now I just type the address bar in and am having no warnings, but yes the warnings were severe, and warned of a trojan, so i blocked it and came in directly.
