    For the forum admins.

    Someone may want to check out the Home page for Malware or bugs .I have Malware Bytes running on my laptop and when I login to the homepage it goes nuts . Same thing is happening when I login to the Droid Forum. this has been happening for about the last week and a half. I belong to other forums and these 2 are the only ones that Malware Bytes is finding anything on. Unfortunately I don't know if the malware is tied to the links from the Droid forum or not.

    Hmm - I will have to defer to one of the other Mods or Admins. I haven't had anything flag my system but I only have the free version of Malwarebytes.

    Does Malware Bytes save a log of what it finds? If you could post any info from what the software is finding that would be helpful.. Thanks!

    Yup here you go. I ran Malwarebytes and then CCLEANER and Norton antivirus on my computer to make sure my laptop was clean then cleared all logs from Malwarebytes. Then I fired up firefox and went to the homepage . This is the log Malwarebytes created .malwarebytes log.JPG .

    Interesting. I just ran Malwarebytes and then CCleaner ( I don't use Norton it uses too much of the system resources and slows your computer). Then I fired up Chrome (I don't use Firefox) and went to the homepage. I'm trying to recreate what your seeing, and everything comes up clean. I get the message "No malicious items detected".

    Just for fun try googling "Malwarebytes False Positives"

    Don't get me wrong Malwarebytes is a great program, but it's not perfect. I'm not detecting any malicious threats on this site. And if there was I'm sure several of us would catch it.
