    As this is not a VB6 question, it does not belong in the VB6 forum - thread moved to 'Forum Feedback' forum (which is where questions about VBForums itself belong).

    I personally don't use RSS, but I'm sure one of the Admin's can check out the issue.

    Yes but the issue is only raised at the VB Classic forums (http://www.vbforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1)
    and not the general website
    http://www.vbforums.com

    So i guess, you should have left it : )

    That still wouldn't make the issue about writing/fixing VB6 code - so it does not belong in the VB6 forum.

    The issue is about this site, so it belongs in Forum Feedback - whether or not it is about the entire site.

    Re: VBForums Virus ???

    What were you doing when that happened? Opening a post? Replying? Downloading an attachment?

    Is it still happening?

    Does it happen in other forums?

    I was about to say, I also use Kaspersky and I was not able to re-create that. Neither with the RSS feed, nor the live forum

    If I go to the address in the picture:
    http://www.vbforums.com/external.php...SS2&forumids=1
    It displays the rss feeds.

    I do not receive Trojan warning although, I'm not using Kaspersky! Maybe you have a Trojan that was already on your computer?
