virus warning

<< < (2/3) > >>

Dina:
Sorry, I was out of the PC for a time. I had the warning with the Weird thread and with another one I don't remember. Then, I decided to ignore the warning.
Thanks for the answer!

parthagenon:
Sorry, I think the site I was using for my avatar got infected.  I didn't notice, since I'd been using it safely for a while, and my mac doesn't get viruses, so I don't have much in the way of alerts.  I've changed the picture now, so the warning should be gone. 

Dina:
We still like you, Parth.
(Thanks for the change)

Shecky:
One way to get around that kind of thing is to take the picture, upload it to something like Photobucket and link your avatar to it there. Established photo-sharing sites tend to have their own antivirus/antihacking protocols, and that adds another level of security for you.

Plus, it's polite to the website you got the image from because then you arn't using up some of their bandwidth each and every time someone looks at one of your posts...  Speaking of which, I need to take down that pic of Olivia Wilde in the casting thread...

Ninja edit:
Panesgrey discusses the bandwidth thing here much more eloquently than I
