Last night I was on here and my Antivirus program warned me that AB was sending me malware and I should abort it immediately. I followed instructions and did just that. What exactly is malware and how dangerous is it? Thanks
Malware is such things as computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, dishonest adware, and other malicious and unwanted software which gets downloaded to your machine without your consent or knowledge.
I have never had any problems with malware from the AB site.
Something was downloading ... the little green bars were fulling up and the warning box that came up said my computer would be infected with malware from AB if I don't abort now.
Squarebear, it wasn't a pop-up box. I can recognise them and know the differences. I use Avast, the warning box was large carrying the Avast logo and instructions. This is not the first time I receive this warning about AB.
