Hey all - - -
Earlier today we were notified of a virus that possibly came through the forum. Please realize that the Flint Hills Jeep Club web site and forum are two totally different sites hosted on different servers. The web site is free and clear of all virus - so please keep visiting (new pics will be up soon!).
This forum is hosted by a service called Proboards. The service is free because of the ads that are placed on various pages. These ads are the source of possible viruses. The managers of Proboards are aware of this issue, and until resolved, the managers have stopped most of the ad networks that they use, and are just using Google Ads. Google has a more intensive screening process for ads than most ad networks.
To protect yourself on this forum, and other places you visit on the web:
1) Make sure your anti-virus software is up to date.
2) Make sure all your updates are current on your computer. New patches often come through software companies that help protect different programs.
3) Don't click on ads
4) If you do run across a problem on the forum, please report directly to Proboards by pressing CTRL+ALT+R on any forum page, filling in the form and submitting directly to the ProBoards team.
