Got my first spyware warning on EF today

[chris302001]

And I get it every time I click an EF link...

 

[chris302001]

Putting this out there hoping it will help/expedite the powers that be fix this problem.

 

[puddlemonkey]

sweet!

 

[puddlemonkey]

you should start collecting them like baseball cards

 

[samoth]

After numerous threads regarding EF's security, I would expect admin to poast up reassuring their customers that their site is indeed safe and any potential problems are being given the highest priority.

(Hint, hint.)

 

[stilleto]

yes, posting your issues in the chat forum is definitely the best way to make things happen.

dood it destroyed my firefox.. cant back page and get this error message "the bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of firefox's files is in use by another application"

thought it was because of my girl snooping around my browser history with her stalker like tendencies.think otherwise now

 

[SouthernLord]

This is waaaaay fucked up

Any of you pole smokers have some free spyware monitoring software to recommend. i have windows defender, but that shit is worthless.

 

[hurricane]

well figures im the first douchebag to actually download something and fuck my computer up lol

atleast my girl is off the hook

 

[puddlemonkey]

avast


set it to the gaming/silent mode and when it blocks something it wont even bother you


it's free

 

[hurricane]

i use avg .. maybe time for change !

1) it's not my issue, but one shared by most of the members (windows users)

2) admin has known about it

3) people who don't know about it prolly deserve a heads up

Well, I'm sure Customer Service has notified all of the paying members. Surely a long-running, stand-up business like EF wouldn't engage in such gross negligence.

It will be taken care of soon.

Dump AVG

google Avast 5.0 free cnet

No, I think he bought a house instead.

It's probably going by Norton and not even notifying you.


Norton itself much like AOL is a virus.

 

[RADAR]

I call BS i paid $50 yrs and have search & destory with it. anything that even tries to get close i am notified and my programs take care of it giving the status when its thru. Quaratined or wiped out.

[mrplunkey]

Part of being a mature windows user is realizing you're going to get a number of viruses, and just hoping you get the ones that don't chew-up too much bandwidth.

 

[ortiz34]

Admin has been contacted, I can tell you that fo sho

It's now a trojan this morning...yay

[miplank]

couple of my work computers took a shit today, and I'm thinking EF was the cause of it. IT had to come in today and work on them. Until this shit is fixed i'm not getting on EF unless it's from my mac.

 

[PICK3]

I'm happy to report that I'm virus free. Well at least my computer is

[Big Rick Rock]

Fixed guys.


Sorry for all the trouble, EF is working with Network Solutions on site security right now. Nobody should be getting any virus warnings right now.


>I have been on my couch crying in the fetal position for days over the severity of this problem.<
