This is a heads up for everyone. I went to pwidatabase and was hit by a trojan/worm this morning. My computer is in the process of being eaten up by the worm and is shut down until I get the tools to remove the worm. I am not sure if this is the right area to post it but just want to warn everyone. I had been getting what I thought were false positives the last few days. Well, I learned my lesson on that score. If you are warned the site has a trojan, do not do like I did and ignore it. I am not even sure if pwidatabase is an official PWI site or a fan based site.

    Its fan based and the site appears clean to me.

    Could it be possible you picked up the worm somewhere else?

    Also, whats your virus program?

    nice multi-thread posting b:victory

    also, pwdatabase is fan-based as chesticles said, therefore there's nothing pwe can do about it

    also, i somehow doubt it was pwdatabase. if you're getting porno popups, it's likely that your comp was used to surf some porno sites, warez sites, or any other "illegal" site, since they use "adult" ads, many of which are not altogether "safe"

    good luck on fixing your comp tho, virus/trojan/worms suck
