Forums - Sony Discussion - trojan virus for clicking on vgchartz?

thekitchensink on 27 July 2008

I used to get this a lot--not recently, though... and shouldn't this be in Website Discussion?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I haven't noticed anything either. I used my NOD32 scan yesterday and found 5 things, but I'm not sure if it were from Vgchartz.com. What file does it infect?



Looking for VGchartz members that play SSF4(PSN)??? Click here!

I haven't had any, but when people were complaining about them I NoScripted all of the ads from VGC, only releasing VGChartz.com

In truth though I never had any porn ads showing up in the first place, I remember the last time people were complaining of Viruses I didn't have any either.... The time before that though I had 2 warnings (this was October/November and using IE)

Got 3 Trojan alerts when viewing the site with IE7 (and Norton + AVG). But no problems when using FF3 (and Norton + AVG)

Yeah, this is absolutely ridiculous. If the admins stopped whoring themselves out to dodgy ad companies none of this would be happening, it's just giving the site a bad reputation. Seriously, stop this shit now.

Then there would be no point in running the site.  The site exists for its owners to make money and selling ad space and the store is how they do it.
