    I use Avast antivirus and I got these messages when I visited the Forum pages, specifically the Tour de France Stage 21 thread just a few moments ago.

There are some AV products that will scan iOS (Apple) and Android devices, some AV products/companies to look at would be (that I am aware of, but have not necessarily used – there are others):

    AVG
    Kaspersky
    BitDefender
    Sophos
    McAfee
    Norton
    Avast
    ClamAV
    Panda

    Never heard of any of those riders.

    I’ve been getting ‘You’ve just won an iPad’ messages recently when viewing posts using Chrome on my Android. I dislike these pop ups, but assumed if I close the box, everything will be ok. Related?

    Also, I’ve still not received my iPad. 😕
