Website Review and Suggestions

In the last two weeks after reviewing sites here and returning to read updates. I picked up a trojan horse twice. It was av.exe. A mock antivirus program that costantly starts a scan of your computer and find false viruses and insists on you paying to get rid of them. It also nags you with false warnings every few minutes. The first time I was able to get rid of it with malware bytes, the second I had to reformat. It blocked me out of my antivirus, internet and everything. The dates would have been approx Feb 24th and March 1st. If you asked for a review please scan you server for viruses. Your page may be infecting other computers.

Ahhh, I've cleaned that virus off of MANY computers lately....

Pesky little bugger isn't it? I was really impressed with the thought that was put into the coding of the malware. It really did secure almost every part of the computer system, and is highly resilient, and resistant to removal.

It's not often that I'm impressed by something like that...
But combofix usually aids in fixing it...

I have not gotten any type of viruses by reviewing the sites on here, maybe it was from another site or something.

So far nothing. Have you reported that user to the Admin / Mods?
