Is there a virus running around Cdot?

[Weedhound]

Because I have had my anti-virus software tell me three times today and ONLY on this site that it has detected and got rid of a virus called "Downloader." Anyone else had this issue at all? It's starting to freak me out.....:wtf: Should I do anything about it or?

yesterday, and today, when opening Cannabis.com, my Webroot Spy Sweeper blocked three attempts to load a 'spyware' , it appeared to be a relatively harmless, generic 'tracker', but 'Downloader' is a virus that can be quite bad, depending on which variation it is ... :smokin:

most Trojan Downloader programs are just pests that will slow down your computer after awhile, but I had one abut a year ago, that required my complete system re-install ... my programs could 'find' it, but couldn't 'remove' it, neither could Microsoft's tools ...

dont know about downloader but I just got rid of the PariteB, that shit is a pain in the ass to get rid of.

First time I've ever had it happen in all my time here....then three times in about 2 hours so.....starting to get paranoid....:wtf: :stoned:

I would suspect it is tied to one of the animated advertisements, the usual culprit ... :smokin:
