Malware warning???

Anyone else getting a red-screen warning about your computer melting down prior to entering this site?


(* Hey JohnR... I realized I shouldve PM'ed you rather than start a thread, but can't delete my post... go ahead and delete it and PM if you have a sec.)

I just started another thread about this. JR or the malware will fix it I hope!

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

what's malware?

are they spamming it?
is it like tupperware?

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I'll look into it but it wouldn't be coming from here. Maybe from the google ads (happened once before).

I need more info - screen shot or something.

What usually happens is your browser is infected and launches something, just happens that you are going here.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND, download, install, update, and run MalwareBytes - Malwarebytes

It is free for HOME use.

I'm running scans on the server right now (been since I first saw the thread), just in case. PLEASE tell me what ads you see on the site when it comes up. Thanks!

Whoaaaaa!!!! That's interesting.

BigFishTackle (not to be confused with BigFish Larry) has malware on THEIR site and your BROWSER is posting a warning.

OK, I know what to do I think...

Thanks for the heads up. It is not S-B

OK, nothing on the scan yet (9.5 off 11GB of data) but I think the problem was the links on the bottom of the page to BigFishTackle - that is now gone.

Aren't all BigFish the same? Once you seen one....you seen them all?

Thanks JR, a moderator's job is never done.

Never showed on my machine but I am running a MacBook Air machine I just got from my HQ. Weighs 1 pound and it's 3/4 inch thick. Very cool

Success!!! my very first trojan-virus!!! I am on a different computer because my laptop can not access the internet to even download anti-malware... Not exactly saying it was linked to this site, but seeing as I got that red warning screen, proceeded anyway, and the next day I used my computer it was in-operable is quite the coincidence... Thanks bigfishtackle!! you motherf*

I have very rarely seen one that wrecks internet altogether but some prevent you from downloading from certain sites.

Again - it was not from this site but it may have been another site that's link was removed from here. I'm glad I chose NOT to use them for their Ad service.

I have a quick writeup here: http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...-computer.html on how / what to run. Problem would likely not happen on a properly patched computer.

Is your Anti-Virus up to date?

Burn to CD / Flash drive: Malwarebytes, Prevx - install and scan. You may need to install MWAB in Safe Mode. You may want to boot to last known good configuration.

If you need more help - PM me for my cell #
