If different forums logging you out at a random moments and for some time your unable to log back again but your name still shows on the list of logged in users do you have a virus?

Answer

It is quite unlikely that you have a virus (but it is still wise to check anyway). It is more likely that your session is either timing out, or being destroyed by your browser. Make sure you have cookies enabled in your browser and not set to expire after a certain time (cookies cannot harm your computer). Your name will still appear on the list of logged in users as your browser does not have an up-to-date copy of the webpage - hold down Ctrl and click your Refresh button to force it to get the latest. If you can't log in for a while there may be a problem with the site - try taking this issue to the forum administrator.
