Hi thanks for your quick reply,
Yes she received it from AVG and will ask her to update asap and do a
full scan. However my question was whether the intruder would have
been able to get into the forum, or would they have been blocked from
entering it instantly ?
Thanks again
Hello Arca. Thank you for contacting us. May I know is that from AVG that she had received the red warning? Please ask her to update AVG to latest virus definitions and run a whole computer scan.
Hi new member here however not familar with AVG.
I run a forum and yesterday evening one of my members who has "AVG anti virus protection" reported that she'd had a flashing red warning that her password had been hacked/compromised by someone with a different email address to hers but which had by chance been correctly guessed. She's since changed her password and although it's likely there isn't a problem, wanted to make sure/ be re-assured that whoever it was would have been blocked immediately and unable to do anything further.
Grateful thanks in advance…

It's actually a question of how quickly AVG works not just about blocking the intruder alone, meaning would they have had time to do any damage ? If it's less than 3 or 4 seconds that would be ok, but any longer means we'll have to start checking for problems etc....
