Anyone having problems with Tutorials?

[lourixe]

When I access the tutorials direct from the youtube website, I don't have any problems either.

But when I try to access them from the blue bar on top of this forum page, or from the M* website, then my anti-virus blocks it. This must mean it is not the videos themselves which have the virus, but the link from M* (quiltingtutorials.com) might have been hacked?

I can access tutorials from you tube, but not the M* pages. I just blame it on my tablet.

I just went to the tutorials from the blue bar and opened several tutorials with no problem. I am using Norton anti-virus/internet security.

My Husband just removed AVG due to these types of problems. On the advice of a man that my DH values his advice put the AVG security on my laptop. The next day, I went to sign on to the laptop, and all kinds of issues popped up. My computer then was taken to this friend, and DH & the friend decided to put Norton back on the laptop. ....No AVG for me. We have other "programs" to help out with the securities as well, they overlap each other ( the programs overlap each other ) ....and for the most part I have very "FEW" problems......The last problem I had before this recent problem with AVG was over 4 yrs ago, when I signed onto a site that was obviously infected. That of course happens from time to time.
Maybe this seems excessive, but we run the security every 3 days.....Sure, a lot of people tell me that it's okay to let it run in the background, ( Norton ) but I have always preferred to take a hour or two out of my day, run the securities myself to make sure things are okay.

That is why I deleted AVG from my computer. I only use Norton and only perform a scan when I feel like I should - if I'd had a problem with a site or whatever.

I prefer to keep on the safe side: I'd rather have more anti-virus protection than risking my computer. DH uninstalled AVG from his, and now he needs Windows to be reinstalled after a virus attack that damaged some of the basic programs. He can't even use the calculator device, nor Microsoft Office.

The malware that AVG detects from the tutorial link (quiltingtutorials.com) is this: Blackhat SEO | How To Remove Blackhat SEO

Again you ladies are Amazing!!!! Yes, that is what happened---I tried to use the link from their web-site. That is when I got the Pop-up. I have never had any problems with AVG. However, have used other anti-virus programs that got viruses on old computers. I want to guard this one with my life. LOL. It is so sad we have to always be so vigilant on our computers.

Yes, Louri, that is exactly what popped up for me. Blackhat SEO.

During the days (possibly overload from Satilite Connection) can't usually get the videos to load. So early AM and later in evening I don't usually have any problems. Was totally shocked when ran into this situation.

I would not want Al's job of keeping their web-site free from all hazards. So many people use it from all over the world.

Thanks so much for helping me out. I adore this forum. What ever question I have---You all come back with answers.
Jan.

I have Microsoft Security Essentials virus scan. It's a free download. I don't have any problems viewing the tutorials. JCY
