Site Virus/Spam?

Cuban Z · 07-26-2012, 06:42 PM

Happens to me when I link in from a Google result on my ICS Android.

djtodd · 07-27-2012, 10:12 PM

Same. Both using chrome and safari from google links. Happen randomly.

This is very true, something I didn't even think about.

Sent from my iPizzle using magic and new fangled science stuff

I try to log onto the370z.com and at times it reroutes me to a malicious site as per my antivirus called like url123.com and this is the only site which brings me there. Its blocked this site all together at this point because my antivirus states this is a site with malware? Any intel/suggestions/knowledge about this issue, or people with similar issues?

You already have a virus. Update the definition files then run a full scan.

Yes. This. I haven't had any issues.

HArturo319 · 07-30-2012, 07:53 PM

It's not a virus and AK is already aware of the issue, there's a thread on it in the questions and feed back section.

Trips · 07-30-2012, 08:16 PM

thread was moved

I have re-sent AK a text to look into this once again

I know its annoying a hope folks be patient as it will be addressed asap.

Google pics search does the same thing sometimes.

techumper · 07-09-2012, 09:59 AM

yep, i've gotten that on multiple devices. iPhone, iPad, and home computer. not sure why it happens, I just hit the back button and click on the link again. I access this through google primarly.

DIGItonium · 07-26-2012, 02:35 PM

Ah this is the bug... clicking back doesn't help. It pops up a messagebox asking the user to visit the site's sponsors, and it prevents the user from getting focus on the browser. I ended up killing the browser from the task manager.

BTW, at work... the firewall blocks the URL site and categorizing it as "scam, spam, illegal, etc."

Cmike2780 · 07-26-2012, 03:03 PM

I get this too. Annoying, but easily worked around if you bookmark the site.

dmhenderson · 08-07-2012, 01:15 PM

Do the mods here have a thread merge option? Might make sense to merge all ~4 of these threads together.

HArturo319 · 08-14-2012, 08:48 AM

Damn you google masters of the interwebs.

on a side note, is an infiltration to Google that isn't noticed until their clients and user mass cry and bitch about, something that happens often?

Google wasn't infiltrated, they were just using an exploit of the vBulletin google stats plugin that is used on this site.
