For the fifth time in the last 15 months I've been hit by a virus right after visiting Brickipedia. There can be little doubt (actually there was no doubt after the third time but now the evidence is pretty much overwhelming) that the site is still harboring some nasty stuff.
This latest one spreads and multiplies quickly and attempts to infiltrate further by popping up message that looks exactly like the Windows one saying that your antivirus program is not responding and was shut down, with the typical close button. A quick look at the task manager reveals that your antivirus program is indeed running as are a couple others that weren't there minutes before. Shutting them down is pretty much impossible because they reengage as soon as you do and runs as multiple applications, each of which apparently activates the other in case of shutdown. It's also clearly of foreign (ie, non-English speaking) origin given some horrible spelling errors. I didn't click the Close button and don't advise you to either. Use the task manager to shut down the window (and you'll notice your antivirus program continues to be running). I tried removing it but it slows down the system so badly and multiplies so fast that a system restore was the only thing that worked.
As those who manage it are either incapable or unwilling to address the issue, I'm once again avoiding Brickipedia (first time I've visited it since the fourth incident last spring) and recommend others do the same.
