The little "paper clip" covers up the last page a lot of times rendering it un-clickable....

Not too annoying since you can just hit "last page" but noticed it so...

That happens to me too, but I just click the little round "go to last read post" to get to where I want to go when that happens.

What happens to me is that periodically every time I switch pages I get logged out and have to log back in...it will do that for a while and then it will stop.

Me neither. First I ever heard about it, or seen it.

You know I get a lot of trojan horse viruses when I'm on this site...my virus protector catches them but a lot have been popping up lately while I'm on here...at least one a day.

You likely have something else infected. This website doesn't have any viruses.

Absolutely not coming from here, No way no how.

You have already picked up a "bug" that is bringing in these malicious files, but not from our server.

I would check your active network connections. You'll probably find one open that shouldn't be there. Probably adware or other software running (either with, or without your knowledge) that connects to the web and is piping in the garbage. Keep in mind, that according to your AV settings, not all alerts are necessarily viruses or malicious, even if it says they are.

Some antivirus programs are so stupid that any auto-updating program that asks for and/or gets access to the internet will be detected as a "trojan horse" especially if it isn't digitally signed. Do you have a firewall running? Windows firewall only blocks incoming connections, making it wide open for any trojan horse or any other program running on your computer to get access to a server on the web, without your permission.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the alerts are caused by facebook if you installed and/or play any of the games there. I strictly forbid it. I don't trust facebook apps at all if for no other reason than making your browser more vulnerable to attack, even if the apps themselves aren't malicious.

I have spyware doctor...it's pretty good. I never download apps from facebook...I know that's asking for trouble.

Well, technically any application that gathers information about you or your browsing habits can be considered "spyware". That definitely includes facebook apps. I wouldn't worry too much about the alerts you're getting. Most, if not all of them, are nothing to worry about.

Well it started off as a conversation about what I thought was a virus I got here...sorry :o...it kind of splintered off from there. It's over now...back to the regularly scheduled program...
