Anyone else getting a warning from their anti-virus software that there is a problem at ShotgunWorld?

 

[Mark425]

Yup. Same problem.

 

[GoDawgs]

Yes, they are having issues today. The virus is called Windows Disk.....

The weblink above will show how to remove it in case anyone gets infected.....

 

[prairieviper]

Yes but not when I first logged into the site. I had gone to a profile and was in the process of sending a PM when my anti virus prompted me of the threat and blocked it.

I was wondering where the heck I picked that up. I was just getting ready to copy my wife's files to her new laptop when I discovered all of her files were gone from her document file. I did have them backed up.

I had to run Superantispyware Remover in the safe mode to clean the crap out. After the reboot, her files were back. All seems to be running fine now.

I was at shotgunworld just prior to that.

It probably came piggy-backed on one of the ad files.

A HOSTS file installed in the computer will block those.

Yup, I could not load the SGW site today. Thankfully it was blocked.
I will stay away for the day until they get the situation sorted out.

<blockquote><I>"...I will stay away for the day until they get the situation sorted out."</I></blockquote>I'd be surprised if they even know they have a problem. That phpBB system is automated and runs off a server that handles lots of other forums just like it. I doubt that even the mods can get in touch with a technician who could run it down.

My AVG Anti Virus freaked out and blocked me from going there.

I got a pop-up that said Shotgunworld.com is infected with "Exploit Eleanore Exploit kit"

 

[ONClaybuster]

Yea, same here. My anti virus program pops up and blocks Shotgun Sports.

SGW seems to run normally for me - no warnings, etc. But I'm using an Apple computer. Any one else with an Apple have the same experience?

Norton blocked it before I got on. There's a lesson here. Stay away from those other shooting sites, Trapshooters.com is all you need.

 

[skeezix]

No problems for me - but I'm on a MAC. My first foray outside the world of PC's and Windows - gotta say I'm liking it a lot so far. About 1 minute from turn on to up and running and on the www.

I'm on a Mac too....no problems ;-)

 

[trapster100]

Virus?
Surfing fine with Linux !

 

[Huntin'Fool]

i couldnt even get onto shotgun world

 

[msmith]

My mac will let go on with no problems. My pc blocks it and its windows 7. Mike.

 

[X Trap 2]

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up.Ray

 

[skeet_man]

no problems here. However, if the problem is linked to one of their ads, that would explain it, since I run AdBlockPlus, I never see any of the ads they have on there anyways.

I tried to go there and got a virus warning..
