Specialtyz website has trojans?

EdgarAllanPro · 10-01-2020, 03:27 PM

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this..

I have been trying to get to specialtyz's website for a bit now. Like several months hoping they'd resolve this. Basically my antivirus always flags their site for a trojan. Like 100% always does.

This is such a dumb question but does anyone know if this is a false flag, should I go to their site anyways? They are to my knowledge the only dedicated Z shop in my area of SoCal and I'm a little put off that their own website could be like this.

https://www.specialtyz.com/ What do y'all think?

It opens on my phone. No issues. Don't know about my laptop.

Since you guys didn't have problems I made an exception for it. No idea what it thinks is the problem with the site.

Thanks guys.

No problems with iPad

Maybe you’ve been looking at some dirty stuff

Run a scan after you get off the site.

My initial thought was that they were selling condoms.

Their website is fine. Your AV software is probably more of a virus than whatever it thinks is wrong with the Specialty Z site

It could also be a cached version of the website. Try clearing your cache thru your browsers settings.
