Oh yeah, you're right, there is still something wrong.
I am now getting the following message from my browser(I am using the current version of Opera 11.52), I am getting a "malware" warning when I enter each forum ie "Forum: Lansing Product DIY Forum" etc
The problem is NOT gone.
For you folks using Microsoft IE browser, be extremely careful, you could pickup this virus, because many viruses are written to take advantage of idiosyncrasies of the code in MS IE.
I THINK just using MS IE could expose you to the virus, I suggest using either Firefox or Opera in place of MS IE for now at least. The reason is that the code in Opera or Firefox is sufficiently different from MS IE to prevent the virus from running correctly, I don't really know, just conjecture.
I did sweep my computer HDs yesterday with AVG and Malawarebytes anti-malware and they found nothing so far.
Edited to add: Sorry, I forgot to mention that I upgraded my older browser; before I was 2 updates behind, that could account for the fact that my warnings have changed, because my browser is a bit different; sorry for the confusion.
