Seeing Ads on Wikipedia? If So, You Have a Virus

 | 

Just a quick heads up about a new security issue to worry about.  If you see ads on Wikipedia, you have a virus on your computer.  Here's a link to all the details.   I mention this to everyone here at StockCharts because: 1.) chances are you visit Wikipedia often and 2.) these kind of tricks are not always limited to Wikipedia and may cause problems with our site as well.  We are not currently aware of anything that is specifically targetting StockCharts.com, but that could change.  It's worth spending a couple of moments reviewing the information about the Wikipedia version to see if it affects you.
