Since yesterday, every few seconds I get a pop up warning from Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) while on playing on this site. I'm using Google Chrome. Every time, MSE says a threat has been detected and is being cleaned, but it is constantly occurring again and again as I'm on this site playing a game.

I can't figure out how to paste a screen shot in here, but the detected item is called:

TrojanDownloader.JS/Nemucod.RH

Alert level is "Severe".

Please check and clean your software/website. I have played this game since 2008 and never had a problem before so it's a new problem.

And the problem is no question on your end. You have a virus and it didn't come from here. I suggest you start with a full scan with your AV and if that doesn't find it, Malwarebytes will.

Normally you would think that. But, I did a full scan with MSE and found nothing. I only use Google Chrome for WGT. I use IE 11 for all other games and browsing. My Chrome home page is the WGT website (I get less lag on the swing meter with Chrome and have been using it for years this way). I havne't been on any other website with Chrome. The trojan never pops up on anything but the www.wgt.com website. I just tried browsing around the web with Chrome, visiting Yahoo and several news links and a few other sites and couldn't get it to pop up. As soon as I went to wgt's website (not even loading the game), the trojan warning from MSE popped up. When I clicked on Forums to reply to this, it popped up again. Again, it never pops up outside of this website. So, I can't see how it is on my end. Plus, MSE is saying it's blocking it every time it tries to pop up, so to me the website is trying to send it to me. I don't see anything else I can do on my end. It never happens outside of WGT.

BG,

Do as YJ suggests and try Malwarebytes, then get back to us with the results.

Just a thought BG - do you have an ad-block running? It is possible the scan is picking something up on one of the ads. Also some virus scanners can mistake items as being Trojans.

But I agree run Malwarebytes - if one is on your system, it will detect it.

Well, Malwarebytes isn't free and it seems to be for businesses, but I ran the free trial. It found PUP.optional.Mindspark and removed it. The computer was re-booted in the cleaning process. Then it said everything was clean. So, I loaded the WGT website and up popped the trojan warning again. There's something on this website that MSE keeps trying to block repeatedly. Not sure what it is, but it only happens here.
