Subject: Malrare detected?

I was going through the Flood Forum and a warning popped up saying "Malrare detected."

I panicked so I went into my profile.

So can someone tell me what is a "Malrare" is? I'm not that into computers and all that type of stuff.

Also, is this the right forum to post this in?

Malware is basically a virus. They are bad for your computer.

However, the reason for this is because somebody's coup was from a website that contained malware. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Your computer is fine.

However, I recommend you get the AVG free version for future problems. This will scan your computer whenever you tell it to for any virus's or malware.


Thanks a bunch! I feel better now.

Left here a long time ago.

MalwareBytes Anti-Malware is an (unfortunately named) AV that is also effective.

The RequestPolicy add-on from Firefox can prevent these kinds of issues as well, but it's not something for the casual user. Only get it if you know what it does and how it does it.

ARGH

Run a scan with your antivirus program. If you don't have one I recommend these. Malwarebytes

Secutity Essentials
I use both of these personally, and I have never had a problem since I started using them.
And the Flood is the best forum for this type of posting.
Cheers!

This is why you should be careful with what scripts/add-ons you're installing into your browser; half of you have no idea what they do.

This isn't a problem with Bungie.net, hence, it's locked. Have someone talk to sE Irish Guy about the background image he's using in his titlebar.
