Site Virus/Spam?

ChrisSlicks · 07-26-2012, 04:02 PM

Just visit the site by using a link saved to favorites and you won't have any issues. Copy the following link and save to favorites:

http://www.the370z.com

The issue only happens when you type the name into google.

I get this too. Annoying, but easily worked around if you bookmark the site.

That's a good point for us members, ChrisSlicks, and I do use a bookmarked URL to get here myself. But when you are searching for stuff ON the370z.com from google it will still happen.

It happens to me on my work computer as I said. I don't actually log into the site on that computer.

Now, what is more important is if I am just "some guy" looking for info on the 370z and I google it and one of the results is from this site, which of course is the awesomest 370z site on the interwebs, when I click on it it takes me to this pretty princess something or other site crap. That's not good, I'm sure you will agree.

Happens to me when I link in from a Google result on my ICS Android.

djtodd · 07-27-2012, 11:12 PM

Same. Both using chrome and safari from google links. Happen randomly.

I totally agree that it needs to be fixed ASAP. It could definitely scare people away if that is the first thing they see when trying to visit the site via a search.

This is very true, something I didn't even think about.

I try to log onto the370z.com and at times it reroutes me to a malicious site as per my antivirus called like url123.com and this is the only site which brings me there. Its blocked this site all together at this point because my antivirus states this is a site with malware? Any intel/suggestions/knowledge about this issue, or people with similar issues?

You already have a virus. Update the definition files then run a full scan.

Yes. This. I haven't had any issues.

HArturo319 · 07-30-2012, 08:53 PM

It's not a virus and AK is already aware of the issue, there's a thread on it in the questions and feed back section.

Trips · 07-30-2012, 09:16 PM

thread was moved

I have re-sent AK a text to look into this once again

I know its annoying a hope folks be patient as it will be addressed asap.

KaienZ34 · 07-31-2012, 07:33 PM

Google pics search does the same thing sometimes.

dmhenderson · 08-07-2012, 02:06 PM

BTW that redirected site installed malware on my work machine the other day. Some fake antivirus crap that was a bastard to get rid of.

dmhenderson · 08-07-2012, 02:15 PM

Do the mods here have a thread merge option? Might make sense to merge all ~4 of these threads together.
