First off, I wanted to let everyone know that this crap that is happening where you are re-directed to a page that says you have a malicious virus and your PC needs to be scanned is a trohan horse for malware. Do not click OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perform a ctrl/alt/delete and in task manager kill the browser session.

None the less, this is an aggravation and disruption to the site and I am looking into it. I will be working with the company that supplies my hosting and maintains the servers to resolve this. I do not believe that it is specific to FTN because other customers that I host have seen this as well. I have also seen this on other domains not hosted by me. Somehow this redirect got here and it needs to be found and removed.

If you experience this issue, please send me an email at mike@fishingtexas.net because I want to keep a record of the impact as leverage against my hosting provider. I pay him to keep this crap from happening!

Thanks for your patience and assistance....

Also, in your email, let me know if you are using Internet Explorer, FireFox, etc... for a browser.

Thanks,

Yea, I have been reading more about it. It looks like a trojan horse. I have passed all that I could find to my server admin and he is looking into it.

I did a google security check on the site and it comes up clean but from w hat I read this thing lives in a crontab on the server and only executes occassionaly.

some programs to use that help and are free, as well as legit.

malware anti-malwarebytes
spybot search and destroy

of course, any computer is compromised if it doesn't have a decent anti-virus, I personally use trend micro anti-virus pro.
