thenest viruses? Anyone?

My computer is back from the dead (thank you to my awesome husband who coincidentally also fixed the DirectTV) but I keep getting virus hits from this site. Grrr... anyone else getting viruses from thenest?

Re: thenest viruses? Anyone?

  • what type of virus hits?
  • I haven't had any problems at work (on a PC) or at home (on the Mac).
  • Let me just say I am completely computer challenged, but everytime I come to thenest my virus warning either logs me off the site or tells me something to the effect of "in order to protect your system" blah, blah, blah. It's nothing good I am sure. I can't help myself fthough. I love my girls and I can't stay away from ya'll. :-)
  • is it only when you're on the nest? My sister and dad just got the same type of virus from facebook. Let me just tell you (and u might already know) never click anything that says that it's "virus protection" or if it asks you to run a virus scan on your computer. This is a type of trojan virus/malware. Its somewhat harmless.. more annoying.. it ends up installing pop up software and porno pop ups on your computer.
  • ohhh i hope thenest doesn't start passing on virus stuff. I like to pop on a couple times from work. And thats a big time no no for us. So they'll find me out. boooo.

  • I haven't gotten any nest viruses, but I never do any of the facebook applications - they are filled with spyware. So I avoid all the little stuff all the time, like whenever those things ask you for personal info...I'm like no! no! no!! delete, delete!!!!

    Go to your tools option on your computer, internet options, and clear the cookies/browsing history, maybe some website keeps popping up. ;-)

  • Oh hell yeah. ARGH.

    My laptop fried yesterday. I am "borrowing" DH's. He thinks it was from FB.

    So I'll be getting a new laptop...but not till March or so.
