Exclamation Anyone else having troubles?

For two days now, I have had trouble getting BW to come up. I get on here late at night, but today is the first one during the day since Sunday. I deleted some Trojan Horses from my anti-virus computer scan. Does this have anything to do with it? I'm not totall y computer ignorant, but I know I'm frustrated not getting my BW when I want it. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I know not too many days ago they were doing upgrades which made it impossible to get on.

Actually, only the forum and gallery were closed. Not the site.

I would recommend a thorough cleaning. Yesterday a member was banned whose computer was probing the server here. Most likely it was a Trojan, but we will not take the risk.

Yeah GMac that's what I did, thouroughly scanned it, came up with 13 objects infected, and deleted them. I don't even know what they are, but my PC is very much protected. It's aggrivating though. Thanks for replying.

Good

Continuing on the security aspect though, for anyone who doesn't already do it, you *should* visit http://www.windowsupdate.com often and have their automatic notification enabled. There were many critical security updates lately.
