General Pain,

I just went to your big book of war. My anti-virus program went NUTS!!! It would not let me any where near your site. I also get a message that the site does not exist.

I am running Windows 8, I.E. 10, and Avast Anti-Virus.

Thought you should know.

Something strange is definitely going on. After you mentioned this I checked out the site.
I'm also running Win 8 and Avast (the Internet Security version) but I'm running Chrome and I get no AV warnings at all and no restrictions on access to the site.
At the risk of sounding like a smart-arse, is your IE 10 up to date and is your Avast up to date?

You have asked appropriate questions. Yes, all programs are up to date. It might be an issue with IE, since you used chrome?

Glad it was just something stupid in IE

Hey Mike, good to hear you can get access to the Big Book again.

While the General points the finger at IE I know that Avast and some of the other AV programmes can get screwy at times when working with the built in security of various web browsers. Also, they sometimes deny access to a particular site due to their use of reference libraries of potentially bad domains so if a site is hosted on a dodgy domain, even if the site is clean, the AV denies access.
Sometimes the downloadable content on a site can cause problems because if something looks like a potential virus (say a patch or a mod for a game which sometimes have similarities to a virus), the AV can go apeshit.

So yeah, it's not always IE's fault!

Is anyone still having AV issues with www.thebigbookofwar.50megs.com ?
