I have had this happen to me now. Three times in the last two weeks and only on basschat and when on my laptop. Now using my iPad for now.

I have been getting the infected computer pop up for about a week now, only on my laptop, phone and iPad are ok.

This is back for me too as of this evening. Windows 10, running Chrome.

Just got this again, seems to only happen after I use the search function once in a BC lounge. Weird?

In post #33 I mentioned removing Netfilter.2 solved all my troubles. It turned up after a Malware Bytes Anti-Malware scan.

I still reckon that was just co-incidence, since its ocurrence is fairly random. Malware Bytes finds nothing on my machine and I haven't seen this popup for weeks/months yet it just popped up randomly whilst I was halfway through reading a thread.
