The Cause of It All

I was surfing around the EZBoard support forum to see if I can get anything on the bug in the DMC's forum security function (it won't let me turn on authorization; now anyone can post).

I didn't find anything, but I found an even more alarming post:

[Virus-Infested Pop-Ups]
http://p079.ezboard.com/fbugsfrm66.showMessage?topicID=15483.topic

I have found the reason why both my computers crashed that night. Brainy SMS'ed me to ask me go check my forum to fix the security bug. My Toshiba laptop crashed the moment I viewed the forum. Then I got onto my Acer and returned back to the forum (still hoping to fix the security problem), and it crashed, too, due to the same malware.

It all begins to make sense now. Did anyone else besides me experience this problem on Wednesday night? Feel free to discuss about it. I might consider getting a new board. I can use Invision boards; no pop-ups, no nothing. Just that you can't customize the layout/colours.
