This won't apply to those of you who have Macs, of course, but I wanted to see if any of you PC users have been running into virus-related problems with Deviant Art. I have Norton, currently running Norton 360 2010, which replaced Norton Internet security 2009. It's supposed to be the creme-de-la-creme of antiviral software. With the 2009 version, I often-and by "often" I mean at least once per week-would have the antivirus program pop up a warning while I was browsing on DA that it had blocked an attempt to attack my computer from that site, in the form of a fake computer scanning program that was actually a "Trojan". Now, the 2010 is allowing that program to actually open up, replacing the DA page, and to close it before it can continue I have to close out of IE entirely, BUT the Norton frequently does knock me off of DA, warning me that a "fake website request" virus(which is unnamed)is attempting to attack my computer. This is happening more than once daily now. I just had to abandon a search and response to another member on DA due to it happening TWICE in a row. Norton did provide me with the IP address and URL of the attacking computer, and I just forwarded that information to the Help desk at DA to let them know what is happening, so if it is something in their server, they can fix it. I was wondering, though, if anyone else was having similar problems.
