    I just don't understand. DP was hacked or what? I just open DP website and I get virus ( spyware and adware ) in my computer. One of my computer is fuc... up right now. Anyone experience the problem like me?

    If you did. Do you have any idea to run away from this problem?

    Wait, this thread??? DOH!

    I don't think you just 'got' a virus from opening up a webpage, but yeah, there's been some issues I've noticed with DP over the past few weeks :/

    Could it be your own computer being compromised? I have on the forum and opening threads after threads with no such issues. And I am well protected by anti virus. No spyware warning, whatsoever.

    Maybe virus is there at your computer already. You need to run other useful virus scanner and check it first properly. Use AVG and scan your pc through it.

    DON.

    :D I am with DP mostly every hour after hour. And if ever there is really a virus for sure it will be detected with my baby Zone Alarm... Maybe it was just a coincidence.
