i had something ping off wine a couple days ago. was just surfing as usual (rcc, porn, cheezbruger) and i get a prompt that some .exe wanted permission to open. can't remember the filename on it, but was pretty harmless to me  |

@AsILayDying How do you like the Note?? I am in the market for a new phone and the note looks like it should be an awesome device. Did you root/flash it or are you using it bone stock? Also how is the handwriting recognition? |

Lol, yeah right on topic..... I actually switched over from an iPhone and now that I'm used to it I love it. Takes great pics, shoots HD video and has an enormous screen. Seriously it's a great phone, little tough to get comfortable with but the handwriting recognition and voice recognition is very good. I'm using a bone stock one right now but will be rooting it shortly. I love the talkatap app on it, makes adding pics and stuff easy as hell. |

There isn't a part of every part of the classifieds that doesn't run across my screen at least once if not several times including every image and I have not yet (knock on wood) received any issues or alerts. Not saying it is impossible that you got a virus from there because I surely am not a computer whiz..... But just figure if there is any virus to be gotten, I surely would have had it before anyone :-/ . | |

There was a google add that has a virus on here a little while back. It got me. And I have never got any virus from any porn site I have ever looked at. And I look at them all. | |

I had to stop looking at this forum at work since my IT guys got an email everytime an alert pops up. I don't remember if I got a virus, I'm pretty careful with emails & links. As to the "FBI" virus, I was just trying to help out the OP with a resolution since a PC screen can be better than a phone. BTW, I didn't get those same alerts from other forums, it was specific to here. | |

Install and use Google Chrome...even during the GoogleAd virus issues I was never attacked because it was hitting exploits in IE and Firefox.
