    Swappin and Sellin warning?

    Anyone know why my antivirus tells me that Swappin and Sellin is not safe because it contains "malware and exploits"?

    Bullguard considers it questionable. I just click the "go anyway" button

    I have Avira and have no problem.
    Maybe it's a anti-gun antivirus.

    You don't mention the specific anti-virus, or the specific threat or details that anti-virus product might provide you with.
    Site keeps you logged in, that involves cookies and some data exchange which may twig a false positive But...

    If you have a browser toolbar, or existing malware that is trying to inject advertisements or download nasty stuff that might trigger a warning. Possibly the bad action would only be triggered when you use your browser at a site where you are logged in that would probably trigger an anti-virus warning. Don't know if it is common anymore but running all your web traffic through a proxy was a thing that badly behaved "free" software would do in the past. Fairly common at one time, I think it is much harder now with how browsers have locked down things so probably less common today. But stuff to pull in "preferred" ads and insert them in place of the ads already on a web page is still fairly common. And that activity could yield an anti-virus warning.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    My computer has "Panda Antivirus". Swappin and Sellin is the only page on the forum that it has a problem with, gives me this message:

    Panda Security Technology protected you this time.

    We have detected that the page you are trying to access contains malware and exploits that could infect your computer.

    Panda AV has so-so reviews... Avast, AVG etc would all be better
