> [@badazzss](#): > > seriously… how did you not notice the completely different URL? I understand the URL is different… but what i don’t think you’re getting is that this window comes up when I LOGIN TO BoA, not just some random time. I’ll be logged into my BoA account and a window just pops up asking for re-verification. If it was just a random pop-up or while i’m doing something totally not associated with banking, that puts up more of a red flag. The fact is…it’s easy to just do something like this in stride of a common routine without thinking much about it. ---

AVG is what i frequently update and run the virus scan… For some reason though, the AVG icon in my start menu is black and white and says “Anti Virus: Internal Virus Database is out-of-date” However, i click on it to get the latest updates and says i already have the latest updates. ---

reload avg, just download the latest and update it, it should work then, i would also recommend removing norton and all traces of it. ---
