Re: virus alert

A lot of Internet Security programs sometimes bug up, and some like Norton basically slow down your computer so you think you have a virus and then you'll buy it. andresmh, a ST member, would never hand out a virus.

It's a bug in the anti-viruses.

Re: virus alert

MalwareBytes keeps saying that Skype is suspicious, and I'm assuming this is also a bug.

It may be, as it's possible you are connecting to an unsafe server.

Re: virus alert

The reason this is happening is because the domain that the signature is linking to has linked to  interstitial.powered-by.freedownloadsoft.net, a malware site.
