Why? I bought a Mac because they don't break or get viruses. I just want a computer that works.

no virus, but I see this way too often

Got another and it happens when doing vbookie stuff.

You ever had any trouble on vbookie lotz?

SEAlum.....what do I need? If I can't get something to keep this from happening I'll be done doing anything vbookie. I enjoy doing threads and vbetting....but cannot keep doing this.

Thanks to those who give a shit and care to help.

What virus are you having? I got some trojans that messed with my registry and I kept getting a TCP/IP error message. I ran malwarebytes, then booted to the "Last Known Good Configuration", and the problem has gone away.

Keeps coming up XP12 or whatever wanting you to click to keep files from being infected or damaged....but once it's on the screen the computer is already infected. Looks like it's wanting you to buy their computer cleaning software/hardware whatever....I never click to do it but it's infected now 3 times all around vbookie stuff.

If you're on Firefox, there will be a little red stop sign on the upper, right hand side of the page with "ABP" in the middle of it.

I'm guessing you already had the virus and something on this website is making it pop up. Gotta find the location/properties of that ad (that cleaning software ad probably is the virus) and remove it.

I doubt Vbookie gave you the virus.

I have never had any problems with this site.

The particular virus you are talking about is a pretty bad one I think. One of my friends dad had it on his computer this summer and I couldn't get rid of it so he had to take it somewhere.

He got it from clicking on links in peoples profiles in Yahoo games. He would play hearts for hours at night.

If you're on Firefox, go to tools>add-ons>Get Add-ons. It will probably recommend Adblock Plus.

I have adblock. Does it stop virus infections from occurring?

I did run a malwarebytes scan that I haven't run in nearly a year (bad, bad I know) I expected to find a good deal of junk...I had 2 issues, minor. So I actually feel pretty confident that what I'm running suits my needs.

My son plays a lot of education computer games? But my son and daughter can surf as much as they want but 1 vbookie settle or thread and it's locked it up 3 of the past 5 times?
