Exclamation Re: Virus infection in this forum?

All I can tell you is what I have been told......"[] we have scoured the files – ALL FILES – in the forums and there are no instances of viruses. People should clear their cache and see if they are still having troubles. Andy had mentioned maybe ads showing on or site may cause the trouble. Google and Shrapnel are the only ads allowed on our site. We scanned our ad serving software and no problems there either."

All I can add to that is Andy reports
============
"Cleared cache and closed and reopened firefox.

privacy badger add-on to firefox is still showing the "coinhive.com" tracker (blocked)

No Coin add-on to firefox is still showing that a coin miner has been detected on the site, and blocked"
=============

but from my end I have had NO issues at all using Chrome or Internet Explorer or Edge.... 99% of the time I use Chrome but I tested with the other 2 and same result...nothing

So it still remains a baffling mystery but the attempts to sort it out have not been abandoned

Don

FWIW I have added Privacy Badger to my Chrome and I'll see what pops up..so far nothing at all
