    Has this happened to anyone else? I was checking a pm from someone here and all of a sudden I get this full page that looked just like Windows Security page stating I had picked up 4-5 viruses and that I needed to click the "Fix It" button. I thought this was odd since I already have a anti-virus program and this was not it. A closer look showed that it was a Virus Doctor program that wanted me to install (which I didn't of course). The only page open at the time was digital point forums so my guess is that someone is using a suspicious ad from the Ad Revenue Sharing Forum since that was the only adverisement showing. Any ideas why this would happen with only DP in my browser? :eek: If it was an ad from DP they should track it down and find out who submited it.

    I've not once had a pop-up ad from DP. It's possible you got tricked into logging into a phishing site via PM or post - suggest changing your password to be safe.
