Everytime I open a page on Fab today my anti-virus is warning me of a Trojan Horse threat that it has blocked from the site. It has never happened before, just began this morning.
Is anyone else getting this today? |

Been on some really dodgy site OP?
You probably need a format to make sure you clear everything. Save all that you need first, they're difficult to get 'totally' rid of and there's plenty of advice to offer a solution, web wise. I'd save and format tbh, they'll be plenty of advice offered here but in all of my years that's worked for me.
As a side note I use the free Ubuntu linux set up for browsing, virtually zero viruses count compared to Windows. Do some research first but worth considering and absolutely ideal if you have a browsing comp and one for downloading.

Only if you consider this to be a really dodgy site....
Thank you all for your feedback....only happening on this site and only begun today. Am running a full scan, fortunately it is telling me the threats are being blocked but still confusing as to why it has just begun. |

Just yanking yer leg a bit.
If you do decide to format and upload windows again, Ubuntu does allow you to try out its system, dividing your pc in two and running both as a way of trialing it out, might be a good idea then you can swith between the two know the likelyhood of a virus is massively reduced.
Good luck
