    Hey folks.

    Just flagging something. Whenever I visit boards using Firefox, Avast is flagging a virus. Dont know if it is me, you or a false positive.

    That site isn't any normal part of or related to boards.ie. What exact page are you visting when that shows? It's possible it's just some has a link to it in a post or signature.

    When I type in boards.ie, firefox takes me to boards. Then about 20 secs later, I get the virus warning. Weird. Not happening on chrome, only firefox. There is a bit more detail on this screen shot.

    Open the page that triggers it and get a copy of the source code from it, before the warning goes off, and paste it here as a text file attachment, or a text host like pastebin. It's almost certainly someone innocently linking to an image there.
