not sure if this is the right place

[Siyren]

im not the most tech savvy person
but everytime i refresh the page on bnb today my anti-viirus kicks in saying a threat has been detected?

What anti virus software?

The chances are your setting are slightly too high hun.

It has been known for tickers to set off an alert. I am going to mention this to the tech team though, an advert may be the offender but it doesn't mean it's harmful.

If you have any doubts have a look at these two sites, both Google and McAffe:

Hi Siyren and Wobbles,
Weirdly enough I have just came to this area to post about something similar.
Sometimes when I log on to bnb my antivirus detects a threat too. I have Norton Anti Virus. It game me the webite that is trying to 'attack" my computer
broavsonline.com
Have you heard of this before??
Thank you very muchly, it only happens sometimes but I am worried.
Thanks ladies x

I'm going to get stircrazy to explain this more for me even though he's 'retired' in his words

TBH I'm not 100% sure. That website is offline now - what is weird is that domain name was only registered yesterday. It could be that an image was being served from that domain (ticker, banner etc). Image exploits aren't really an issue nowadays (the worse you'll get is cookie stuffing), but as the website is down I can't check.

If you have windows security updates turned on and an AV then you'll be fine
