    Nasty virus and Trojans, beware.

    Warning to anyone who visits the patrol4x4 forum ATM.
    There has been a lot of nasty viruses and Trojans picked up from the site, even by logging in, I have picked up Trojans each time.
    My advice is stay away till it can be sorted.
    I have PM'd AB but he may be away having a good weekend.
    Cheers, the ferret
    EDIT, Yep, sounds like he had a good weekend LOL..

    Theres some good people, and lots of good information on there, but like I needed another reason not to go there!!! lmao

    Shame really, as I'm sure it started out like this forum and just got too big to manage and collapsed on itself. Bit of a free for all when I last visited (may have improved though).

    Hopefully they sort the problem, but by the same token, 'business is business' as it were and just like true businesses, I hope we pick up some more clientele from the fallout.

    Still getting Malicious Software warnings when visiting that site.

    I use Avast and it is pointing to http://directmarketingmanage.in/in.cgi...ect.... as the problem

    The trojans picked up were photoclass"trojan.maljava",exploitwebsite9, blackhole toolkit14, fakeavwebsite, so there is a lot of risk I would say.
    Any of these sites have the potential of freezing your puter, they are tricky and dont give any way of escape, what ever you click on, you are at high risk for the time being..
    Cheers, the ferret
    EDIT... I only posted this info as I have many friends on this forum and others, loyal or not to any particular forum, everyone is entitled to any warnings that may come about.
    Worm and virus removal can be expensive, not to mention the fact that your bank account may have been compromised by any one of these viruses.
    I would also like to ad that it is not the fault of the said forum that they are under attack by these ratbags and that I'm sure that those in control are doing everything in their power to solve the problem.
    Cheers, the ferret.
