At work for the past few weeks, the site will be replaced with a screen showing that I have a virus and it is doing some kind of scan. If I click on remove files, I get a window wanting me to run or save a file, which I don't do. I was curious if anyone else is having a similiar issue.

For future reference, don't ever click this button.

Yeah, I'm going to guess you visited a site with a virus, and clicking that installed it, now it comes up randomly. I don't remember the name of the virus that does that, but it's pretty hard to remove, from what I understand. Do you have AV software?

Work uses microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection. I ran a whole scan yesterday and it showed nothing. It did remove a trojandownloader a week ago and a Rogue... the week before.

That won't necessarily show all infections.

It's never from CF. It's always from some other site you visited. Stop looking at so much porn.

Weeeell, if it were from CF, we'd have 15,000+ people reporting it...
