Around SBN: Now They've Screwed Spurs, UEFA Willing To Review Rule

Alert on possible virus warnings! READ THIS

"Borrowed" from the guys at Cincy Jungle. Felt it was important to pass on!

There have been various reports from readers on SB Nation claiming to have seen a virus warning. We have yet to really deal with the issue at Fear the Sword and no one has brought it to our attention. But if you have received a virus warning, here are more details.

This is what the product team at SB Nation recommends if this happens to you. First, close your browser and don't click on anything. Then, follow this procedure:

Send as detailed a report as possible to support@sbnation.com and include screen shots of everything abnormal you have seen. In your email include answers to the following questions:

  • What browser/OS are you using?
  • What site were you on?
  • What page were you on?
  • When day did you first see this?
  • How many times have you seen it since?
  • Has it happened on any other sites? Which ones?
  • Did you click on anything after it redirected you to the virus scan screen?

Also, the product team would like to do a "screen share" session with you if this has happened to you; in your email let them know a time when you would be available to have such a session with them. The product team here has been working on eradicating this problem, and you can help.

Thanks!

Do NOT click on “cancel” OR “ok”….they BOTH cause the virus to kick in.
It came up on my internet explorer when I opened Blazersedge.com. I just turned off my computer…the correct way.

It’s a tricky virus. It reads something like “click on cancel to activate” or “click on OK to continue”….EITHER choice will activate the virus. If you READ what either choice is..you are fine..this is where most people just go on AUTO PILOT and click cancel….

by closing the browser..turning off your computer you will be fine.

I suggest using google chrome provider..seems to be less “buggy” when it comes to SBNATION.
