So it happened to me for the 4th time... A pop window pops up telling me my pc is inficted with virus and it promts me to download something from 3rd party website which infact is a virus. I tho maybe something was wrong with my laptop... Then it happened on my brand new pc while surfing huddle and now it happened on my pc at work.

Does this happen to anyone else?

I mean how long since you have been going on the internet? Since its inception?

Never Download something you didnt initially want to download in the first place on the interwebz.

First rule of The Interwebz

Oh, did not download it... Huddle is the only website I go to on my work pc. Everything else is blocked 0_0

It didn't come from the huddle, unless you clicked a link someone else posted. I forget the exact name of that virus, but if you ever get a prompt with a yes and no question box, do NOT click no. CLick the red x at the top right of the browser. If it pops up again, you are likely already infected. Another option is just hard power off the laptop and not click anything. That virus cannot really be removed, so good luck. That thing could have been on there days ago, laid dormant, then popped up a few days later. One way to tell if you are definately infected is go to google and search for virus removal software. If when you click one of the links to look on how to remove the virus, IE will display a page that says something like "this page cannot be displayed".

Yes, that's happened to me a couple of times. IIRC there was a pic involved.

Next time, just shut down your comp. Actually, if clicking the red X in the top right didn't work, you were likely already infected from a previous browsing session. Those interweb pron pics can be a bitch

No pron on the huddle!!! ;)

Does it start running a scan?

It appears as if it is running a scan. Lots of flashing red borders on the window.

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      We put a ton of high draft capital into young WRs over the past few years. We drafted a WR in top 2 rounds of the draft in 4 out of the past 5 years. At some point, we need to rely on the dudes we drafted vs relying on veteran role players. That's the only way we're going to evolve as a team and take the next step to going back to winning again.  Remember when Cam lost KB and everyone thought it was the end of the universe? And 2015 happened.  Maybe losing Theilen and Coker will open some opportunities for some other guys to step up.

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      So apparently in the time between the end of the last football season, and now, a TON of streaming sites have been taken down. From what I remember most of these idiotic offiicial streaming services that offer NFL games don't ever offer ALL of the games. I remember subscribing to one service on youtube last season that cost hundreds of dollars and it would still constantly tell me games were either blacked out or unavailable, which is totally ridiculous. Is there any one service that I can watch ALL of the games on?? It gets on my everlasting nerves already that there's so many different streaming sites and they are all expensive as hell. I don't want to take out an entire additional car payment to subscribe to 4 different streaming services to watch all the games. Is there just ONE I can subscribe to? The most comprehensive thing I have access to now is Sirius XM. It's only 10 ish bucks a month and I can listen to the home or away broadcasts of any game. Only thing is I can't WATCH the games but this seriously comes in handy if I'm out doing something, driving, or can't stay still at the moment to watch the games. But usually I'm off on Sundays, so I mostly want to watch them.
