for some reason, starting a week ago, whenever i go around the armorgames forums my avira antivirus thingy pops up and tells me it's detected TWO infected virus on certain webpages around the AG forums, then it gives me a list of options of what to do with the virus. (ie: quarantine, block, destroy, allow acces etc. etc.) sometimes this happens, sometimes it doesn't, but it's annoying!! does anyone else have this problem?

Isn't it possible to track it and get it shut down? I'm pretty sure AGs' layout is copyrighted...

He could be a hacker but I don't want to be blamed for calling him one if he isn't.

I searched for amorphus plus and clicked the game (about 2 months ago) and a rather disgusting set of porn images popped up and locked on my screen.

No offense kimchi, but I think he needs to be banned and re-banned, even if this is a mis-understanding.

I was at my friend's house (this is him http://armorgames.com/user/2007839)
about a month ago, we were both on AG, and all of the sudden the screen froze. It totally stopped. We had to get a maintenance person, and I had to pay his dad $50 for the problem. I think AG might have a virus. Also, when I first went on Armor Games, it said my computer had a virus. My security center stopped it, but i'm not sure what it was.

@201 I think it was something else, because I've been using AG for almost two years now, and I've never had a problem with it. Are you sure it wasn't just a trojan, that was piggy-backing until it was ready?

When security center stops it, it's not a virus.

AG doesn't have any viruses within itself. A site this large would be shut down in seconds, and that is very bad for business. A million people come here every day. Leave that to you imagination.

The ads I can't speak for, but most of them are probably semi-safe. But ads are never completely safe.

That's why you don't click on them, if you see something that seems appealing google it first...

**Exclusive ... Sorry could'nt resist .

I have had no problems with viruses from AG . Maybe it was the advertisements that are next to what ever your looking at.

I get that when Adverts come up on any page.

It's some ads taking over the browser, most likely.
