Never got anything from RD's before, course I don't hardly go there anyhow!.. If you're running XP you might try a "System Restore" that usually get's rid of the garbage!...

Ditto WD's satement. I've never even gotten a "warning" from my virus protection (Webroot) about a threat from RDP; and I get quite a few "blockages" when surfin'. Not just those "other" sites either. May not be from RDP's but could be from a link. Alot of linkin' to YouTube over there right now and YouTube is notorious for viruses. IDK....

Same here GFR. Though I have hit a few things over there and my anti-virus shuts it down and IDs it as a "Potential Harmful Site". So I just obey my "watcher" and skip that particular link. :good

That's the smart thing to do, if I get one of them links sometimes I'll go on my "junker" and open the link to see what it is, every once in a while some pretty interesting $hit comes up!.. :eek

What do you guys reccommend for one of those viruses that tells you you have a virus and then offers to clean it up....for a price?

A friend of mine had that happen and it wont let them remove or quit, and it keeps popping up every 10 minutes or so????

I know Performance Boats has been hit with malware a ton lately, and someone on RDP recently said the warning has popped up on them when logging onto RDP....................

Something strange is going on at RDs. Ã‚Â I haven't been able to post there for a few days now, and today when I log on I can't open any forums...........I think it is in the website, don't believe I have any virus, my spyware and virus detection hasn't set off any alarms yet.
Seems like the virus went from Performance Boats to River Daves, hope it doesn't hit here next.
