I ran mine last night as I usually do and always have a handful of items.

Turned the PC on today, logged onto AR15.com and saw there were 15k+ users and while I was checking threads, my malware sweeper comes on and asks if I want to run it (never has done this) and I end up with over 9 THOUSAND problems.

Anyone else getting this? Could be just me, but check your malware/spyware anyways.

You sure it was your anti-virus program?  Or was it a scareware popup?

The site is running very strangely. I clicked the post button twice because it kept hanging and lo and behold it posted it four times.

Site's acting really unstable right now.
