Heads up malware possible...

Postby sstacy19 » Sat Sep 18, 2010 11:52 am

I received malware on my computer by clicking on one of the equinenow ads on the top of the screen...so beware.

Not sure what they can do about it... the lack of a response plus the fact the ads are still there suggest it's nothing and let the clicker beware. I wonder if this means Storm Cat got gelded again :lol:

Hm.. folks who got the virus could post here what the heading was of the horse they clicked on - it really might be ad specific.

It's probably the company that produces the banner ads and if you hover over the ad you might see it has a different URL other than Equinenow.com.
