Is anyone else finding that BB is loading INCREDIBLY slow today? I have pretty much been here since 1pm my time and this is the first time I've been able to post. It's now 8 pm. It worked fine yesterday and any other sight I try to get into is fine. Just wondering of its me or BB.

Ya and after a while I just said...frig it!
It's a little slow for me , but I'm downloading a 2 gb file , so I thought things were normal, even while downloading it's Not completely slow, maybe an extra second of load time, no biggie. So I don't think I'm experiencing it.
 
It always was sluggish on my connection and very slow at times but today its been alright for the most part, no worse than normal.

Maybe your pc's just hung over from the party last night.
 
Hon I think its just you, perhaps the boards way of telling you something 😉

Has it just been BB thats been slow for you or the net in general?
 
You're in luck Keanoite. You've finally found someone with a similar problem.

I don't think it's a problem at the board end. Try this just to make sure we've got the same thing. Close all instances of the board then reopen it, and try again. Do you use multiple tabs, or windows?
 
On mine at least, I can pretty much see what's happening in Firefox, and you can tell it's external. Sometimes the page will completely load, yet something is still trying to load. Sometimes the page won't load at all. My system's blocking software seems to be preventing a script, or a third party from loading. In my case I think it might be this thing I use called No Script.
 
Miss K, if this has anything to do with the virus I warned you about, we'll figure out a way, and I'll pay for any damages. Everybody else, don't answer any messages from White Avenger until I find out about this.
 
That's something different than what's happening to me. Has she tried cleaning her cache and cookies then logging in again?

But yeah Virus, or spyware, that's a possibility.
 
I got an alert from one of our em's that my anti virus system (AVG) had identified and isolated a Trojan Horse Virus. I warned her about it, but she said that she scanned for viruses every day. Should I stop posting here until we know for sure, because I don't want to screw up anybody's computer.

Edit:

well, can someone please contact Miss k and tell her about this if she can't see my post? If I've ruined her computer, I'll get her some way of sending me a bill for any damages I might have caused.

Not an expert but I don't think anyone can catch a virus from you via the boards - would've thought only via direct email or something like sending files through MSN or another IM. :)
Yeah I wouldn't worry about it if it's just posting you're worried about White Avenger. If there was malware that could post itself to other people's web pages just by posting a message it would be front page news. You'd hear about it. The blogosphere would be crazy with talk of it. If you sent her something though, or possibly linked her to a malicious website, or download that would be another story.

If you'd like to check if you're anti-virus got everything in it's cleaning process you can try double-checking with an online scanner such as this one.

Another good thing to do is Google the name of the Trojan, that way you have a better idea of what you're dealing with. Sometimes the anti-virus vendors will have special little programs for dealing with that particular trojan, and they will be a free download.
 
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I seem to be back now...for how long we shall see.

I hope it wasn't anything I sent you. The virus that I fiund was in an old fle of some of our private bantering. I would hate to think that anything that I ight have sent you caused the problem.
