Re: spambot beware -- VIRUS ON THIS SITE (poster is wrong)

[Josh Collins]

The problem is on your end; not the spambot beware site. My Norton Antivirus
has detected nothing. Spybot has detected nothing either. I also think you
need to do some reading up on exploit scripts.

AVG caught three potential virus files from that site and/or the popups that
come up after you leave the site. They were javascript files and deposited
in my temp internet files. There is NO problem on my end. These .js file can
carry virus code in them and AVG saw the code in these files as potentially
unsafe, thus the warning. It may just be a bad coded javascript file, but my
concearn is why does this site even load .js(javascript) files onto my
machine. There's no reason for a site to do that. Anything that needs a
javascript file to run should be done server side, not client side. That
IMHO makes the site one to stay away from. That being said, Nortons blows
and you can trust it if you want, it's your choice, I choose to stay away
from nortons junk. Also I can tell you, little boy, that I know alot more
about exploits and scripts than you could ever hope to. If you can't even
figure out how to run a spambot and harvest emails, then I guarantee you
know nothing about javascript. Check your temp int files, there's probably a
a file named autohome.js(can't remember the other names). If your so sure,
find the file and run it. See what happens. Or if you want I'll send you a
javascript file and you can see exactly how an exploit can be done.
Fool........ all I did was post a warning that my AV software found
something. There is something fishy with that site cause I can hit thousands
of sites and avg says nothing, but it doesn't like the javascripts from that
site, that's for sure.

Well just went back again and the popups came up this time and AVG caught a
potential virus again. The same three javascript files. The files say there
from lexmarx.com, but they are not. I never went to that page. After avg
catches the potential virus the sites that popup are hotels.net and
findwho.com. Going to lexmarx.com I also get the same avg warning and the
same popups, so while it's not the original site itself, something is indeed
up with lexmarx.com and the popups/redirects from the the original page.

Hi
Just browsing some emails here & saw this one re viruses,
I guess you are talking about the fitness instructors
website in U.S. (turnstep.com) ?? I have been visiting
this for ages although I am a beginner in a way to PC
safety etc, having just bought one a few months ago. Am a
bit worried about this site now especially as I visit it
quite often!

You don't have to worry. Some little kid overreacted and posted too quickly.
As you said, the site has been around for quite a while.
