Hi everyone,

Once again, there is *no* malware on FlyerTalk.

We are working to determine which advertisement is causing this messaging to occur.

This kind of advertising is *not* approved by FT, and will immediately be blocked when it is located. Meanwhile, be assured that despite the message it shows you, you do not have a virus (from this) and FT is not infected. This is an advertisement that appears to be exploiting a hole in *Internet Explorer* to show a *false* virus alert.

One way to avoid it is to switch browsers to Chrome or Firefox.

I'll update as soon as I have new information; thank you for your continued patience while we work to block this ad.

Paul
