Title: Malware on freexampapers!?!?
Post by: Snake on May 30, 2010, 05:10:24 pm
Was trying to load a pastpaper when I got this picture! Anyone else? I'm not visiting the site again until it gets resolved!

Read the error carefully.

It says FEP contains elements from the site Image Shack. Imag Shack is a well known picture hosting firm which is one of the advertisments on FEP.

As such your antivirus is DETETCTING THE ADVERTISEMENTS and the POSSIBILITY of malware.

Yes there is but I'm Virus crazy, I don't like taking the risk of ticking that box and Possibly getting infected. Can one of the programmers check it out please?
