Is anyone else getting a malware warning when trying to log on to TN message boards?

[popcorn]

Yup.

I deleted my bookmarks last week when they were giving out free trojans. Getting a virus isn't worth it.

They apparently have totally rubbish code. I remember when Gilli put in some code that let her write in huge red letters over the entire screen. If she can do that a virus writer can probably get in fairly easily too.

Done with them.

I remember that. It was funny, viruses are not.

I haven't been back much, just once or twice to see if the board was dead and both times I got the malware warning.

I haven't been back to IN, but my home board on TB never fully moved over here and has been more active on TB than here. Now I'm getting nasty attack site messages whenever I try to go to any of the boards on TB/TN, though.

Maybe I'm just stubborn, but I refuse to even visit the site. I know posts are down, but I wonder how far down site visits are.

I have gone on the AP board of TB with no issues. Ehhh, should I be checking my computer for something???

[wise_rita]

I get it, too.

Seriously, it is SUCH a shit show over there!

[allibally]

This was an issue last weekend too. Then in stopped. Guess it's back now.

Do you want to hear my conspiracy theory on the subject? I don't know how many people saw this but they went on TB after the mass exodus on TN and said they wouldn't be changing over to the new format and that they would return to the old format on the TN. Then blamed the third party vendor for all the glitches. Okay, fine then put the blame on someone else. Now here's where my conspiracy theory comes in.

I think the third party vendor after being fired and possibly reading that they were the cause of all these 'problems' packed up their shit, helped them return to the old format and then launched an attack. On TB some of the boards have been hit with pornographic gifs and pics and now we have the Malware thing. I'm pretty sure the third party knows their weakness and has had ample opportunity to mess with them. Given their complete incompetence before during and after the mass exodus I'm sure its going to be awhile before its repaired.

It is ridiculous. It would take years before I would ever venture back.

And blaming a 3rd party vender who has already given you buggy as shit code before is pathetic. Seriously? Once I can see- but hiring them back several times and every time's a repeat? Whose cousin owns that 3rd party vendor?!?!? lol

It has been speculated that this third party vendor is some 13 year-old in a basement. Based on their performance, it would not surprise me one bit.

Yes! I don't get on them all that often, but posted a few questions last week, all seemed fine. Logged on the next day to check replies and all of a sudden got Malware warnings, which I've never, ever seen before. Too scared to ignore them so I haven't been back. Glad I found this one!
