I consistently get a warning when I try to log in with my tablet – the message states that I should first get rid of a (unnamed) virus.

browser?
Using which browser? I mainly log in using Dolphin browser on my Android phone. Also use Firefox on the phone and both these browsers on my Android tablet (on occasion) without issue. I will check the tablet again and report back. I will also PM the site admin regarding this thread.

EDIT: Tested Dolphin, Firefox, and Chrome on my phone. All login without issue. I will test the same apps on the tablet later today.

EDIT 2: Tested same browsers on tablet. All login OK.

Using the default Internet
Using the default Internet app. Yields Error 403. Works fine in Firefox (but man, that’s slow and unwieldy).

default Internet app test
I re-tested log in using the default Internet app on my phone and tablet. Apart from being awful apps both allow login as expected. I cannot understand why each tablet variant of an app is so bad. Even the keyboard app on my phone is better than the equivalent on my tablet (and both are same generation devices from the same manufacturer). All I can suggest is checking the app settings (which are often abyssmal or non existent) or using a different app.

Thanks for the heads up, just wanted to be sure. Good to know the app is to blame.
