I have gone to Wiki a few times in the past few days and every time i look at the pages, all my antiviral programs go off... I suggest that you take great care when visiting the UWO Wiki pages and thoroughly check your computer afterwards.

Remember, Wiki is a public website which can be modified by anyone with an account so the information there might not be correct and you don't know if someone has added something that they shouldn't.

    Your AV gives you false alarms. Just uninstall them and you have no problems reading the wiki.

    I use wiki for many years and never had a problem.

    There are only a few third-party programs to use for UWO so what ya been downloading? 

    Wiki's are just CMS with minor admin rights, no one other than the wikia.com staff can alter the back end to infect any downloads or add anything such a Silent java Driveby or anything autorun.

    If you have a virus it is not from uwo wiki sites.
