The virus could be on the main page, because I clicked on the u3d main site 4 times and my anti-virus gives me a malicious URL warning. So try to access the forums directly to avoid the main site. I would like someone who is brave enough and confident enough of their anti-virus to try to confirm this for me.

Or possibly these links (What's on your mind topic):

Edit: I returned to my computer and clicked on ultimate3d.org to see if would warn me again, it didn't. Although it did 4 times in a row earlier which is cause for concern. Anyway I am unsure of the cause of the virus, it may still be there or the hacker might have gotten scared and removed it. When I recieved the virus I had 3 tabs open, this, one of the pictures in the links above (the 2nd picture and possibly the third, I don't remember), gmail, and facebook, and I didn't download anything recently or even login to Gmail. I honestly can't say for sure where this virus came from.

The more I try to isolate this the more it slips through my fingers. Anyway, this is a very bad, bad virus, my shields aren't helping very much.

More info on the virus:

Win 7 Antispyware 2012, Vista Antivirus 2012, and XP Security 2012 are all names for the same rogue anti-spyware program. This family of rogues is promoted in two ways. The first is through the use of fake online antivirus scanners that state that your computer is infected and then prompt you to download a file that will install the infection. The other method are hacked web sites that attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in programs that you are running on your computer to install the infection without your knowledge or permission.

(without giving details) How "hackable" is ultimate3d.org?

There is also the possibility I had a dormant copy of the virus for a long time, and some code or ad embedded in the website activated it.

Also, I think you have to go through google to get the virus. Here is the topic I remembered: http://s9.zetaboards.com/Ultimate3D_community/topic/173138/1/ But it sounds like a false-positive and Dr. B fixed it since then.

Also, if any of you get the virus, it won't let you access the forums unless you use your History.

Well today I accessed it just fine, maybe it was gmail, or the site ultimate3d is hosted on was temporarily hacked. Could have been a Facebook ad possibly. Anyway I don't know why I even bother trying, I never find out anything.

that's the thing, there might not be a virus, but it's good to be aware.

I'm guessing that it's a false-positive or a virus from another source, so I moved the topic to Off-topic now.
