Okay,

This is mainly directed at Nate and all mods:

While browsing YWS, my antivirus programs [eTrust EZ Antivirus] pops up on every single page displaying some Temporary Internet File that is infected. It's JS/Snz.A and it drives me nuts, because it pops up on every YWS page I click. First off, why is it only doing it on YWS, and also, how can I get it to not do that without shutting off my entire Antivirus program?

Any help is super appreciated! It just started this morning.

Thanks!

I hate anti-virus programs, so I have no idea why you are getting that message. Is it possible you could post the entire error message?

Nevermind! Figured out the issue.

What's going on is that YWS uses five separate javascripts to run, and you're antivirus program is picking up on at least one of those as a virus. The only problem is that it's a false positive; meaning, it's identifying a file as a virus when it really is not.

Apparently this happens a lot, and your virus program should be corrected after the next update. Here's more info:
