What is wrong with scuba board???

[dolesorchard]

I have been having a really hard time viewing scuba board for the past two days. It is not my computer or browser, as everything else is working fine. Some pages take five minutes to load, some won't load at all. I have also gotten several warnings that viewing scuba board may harm my computer and once scuba board wanted to run some software. What is going on??

Scubaboard does not download or run any software. I've had not problems with it loading or viewing pages. It's possible you've picked up a virus from somewhere.

Didn't Chip post something similar recently?

Doing some research based on the report by another user I've found the following info:

In the last week, I've had two infections occurring as I was browsing Scubaboard, one at work, one at home. These were different, but were both of the type where a window pops up and says you are infected, starts a trojan scan, asks if you want to start antivirus software, which of course I did not. Both of these kept me from starting things like MalwareByes and even the Task Manager. I was able to get rid on the one at work with a single MalwareBytes scan, started in safe mode, after getting the latest update (earlier update didn't fix the problem). The one at home took at least a second scan, where it found a single item; started another scan as I left for work.

Related to SB, or just coincidence?
