I don't know about anyone else, but I keep getting attacked by trojans every time that I go into chat.
I use Kaspersky Internet Security and it catches problems as they occur.  This is the only place on the net that gives me issues unless I go to some known download sites that have well known potential problems.
I like the chat site, even though I can't keep up wihen things really start cranking in there.  It's a good place to talk to people and get to know them which is one of the reasons that we like to come here.
Does anyone else have this issue?
What other anti-virus programs are others using?
How do we talk to the site administration about this issue?
Other than this, I love the site.

    We have the same issue EVERY time we go into chat.  Trojans, malware, fortunately, Avast catches them all.  And for those who DON'T think that they're having issues, they should scan for viruses, malware, and adware everytime they log out of chat!   Send an email tosupport@truenudists.comto notify site admin about the issue.

    Thanks for the info.  Kaspersky stops any problems from happening, but it locks up my computer while it notifies me.  It would be great if chat could be cleaned up.  The admin has to know that there's an issue.

    I am regular visitor to chat.  But I have a Mac.  I don't want to start any Mac versus PC debate, but Macs are unlikely to have viruses, because virus writers go after the most numerous platform (far more PCs than Macs).  I have not noticed any malware problems.  I do have a virus detector (Intego VirusBarrier).  But Virusbarrier hasn't yet detected any virus on my Mac.  Also I have not been getting those warning alerts while in chat.
    As for browser, I have Safari.
    Are there any other Mac users who have noticed any problems while in chat.

    Hi!
    I use Firefox and PC, virus protection is F-Secure. So far no alerts in chat. Maybe it is IE Explorer that attracts the viruses?

    I use foxfire and google chrome. I frequently get a malware warning when I use Google Chrome but not when using Foxfire.

    I rarely go into chat anymore, not because of this issue, but for some reason chat doesn't like me. lol...But i have noticed the few times I have popped in their recently that McaFee boots me out telling me of a problem.  I'm wondering if it's getting confused.  I'm thinking that because we have to link up with the cams and what not you are giving the server access to your system and maybe the virus scanner is thinking it's spyware or something?  It's something I've been thinking about, but then again i'm no computer expert. lol

    No, Swifty, I don't think it's the cams.  This problem is only as recent as about 2 months ago.  One or some of the ads through user plane have trojans and other malware attached to them.  It's a rel pain in the neck.  I encourage anyone experiencing this problem to contactsupport@truenudists.comto make sure TT1 is aware of the problem.   Jen
