    It said your PC had suspicious material... that's not MMO's fault. I would recommend that you do a really good scan of your system.

    Usually, if you get a message like that, it's because a phony piece of AV software has been installed, or managed to install itself.

    Wow, just wow.

    When an add tells you it found suspicious material. It's a scam. If a random guy came up to you and said "your car needs brakes, pay me and I'll fix them." would you believe him? No. He's obviously looking to rip you off.

    ^Crap like this is why battle.net threads get locked. Blizzard is not on a crusade against you.

    Another person like this the same day? Really people?!

    STOP CLICKING ADS THAT ARE ON THE SITE OF ANY SITE YOU EVER GO TO.

    There, no more virus.

    It's not that simple Ya1232. Some sites (no, not MMO-champ) have ads hidden, so the first thing you click on will open a popup with the ad. Either way if it was visible here it is an error with the ad-provider. They should prevent this kind of adds from coming through the filter.

    Then we would have to PAY to be on MMOC, do you want that? Ads keep it free... well more free than not free, but still not free.

    I suggest using common sense, you're "smart enough" but you clicked on it?

    Why so quick to flame?
    He's saying he was reading something and it popped up, not that he clicked on an advertisement.
    2 People with the same thing happening, obviously something to be looked into.
    Alot of people on these forums are just here to hate each other, i don't see any point in doing so.

    Isn't that possible? To pay away ads? Through Curse Premium? I'm not sure, but isn't it? ^^
