Careful going to DeviantArt!

Recently I've had two rogue spyware/virus software downloaded to my computer when I went to a DeviantArt page - one was called ThinkPoint (which was a bitch to get rid of) and the other was Antivirus Suite 2010 - please be careful! Make sure your antispyware and antivirus software definitions are up to date! McAfee Antivirus Plus did not detect these two being installed, but Malwarebytes Anti-Malware was able to get rid of them.

Re: I had that Antivirus one too!!! And it diabled Malware Bytes on me!!

AVG has always been a personal choice but that changed since AVG2011. Its very bloated and the free version does not get everything. And it conflicted with my malware bytes.

I just read alot of people are going back to AVG 2009 until they fix it
