anyone know what's wrong with the usa forum?

[dc2k08]

if you search for e-cig forum and click on the link for the usa forum you get a fake "your computer has a virus" alert and directed to a page that pretends to scan computer.

does anyone who uses the usa forum know what's up with that ? The last date something was posted over there was nov 11.

speaking of forums, if we didnt have enough already, there is a new one now at hxxp://ecigforum.net

from their title, color scheme and njoy section, it looks to be assoc with ooh know who.

i would say that it is associated with the u know who's. but that is just my edumacated guess lol

I can get to the front page and the forum, but if i hit a section link, i go to one of those generic pages you see as a place holder, when the site is not there.

I got a fake scanner the other day, but not sure if it was from there or not.
IF i made a guess, id say the server lost half the files, and no one has been to it to fix it yet.

Loads of forums seem to get hacked. Not sure why. Probably they don't install the security updates because they have so heavily modded them it's a pita to upgrade.

seriously though, anyone ever in contact with one of the mods and can shoot them a mail to see if they haven't all been nicotine poisoned ?

wonder if there is a connection to ooh know hoo's latest foray in marketing.

ps, cash batten down the hatches can you ? there's a lot of gold on this ere forum.

Whatever has happened it tries to infect your PC with the AntiVirus2009 malware, so take care. Probably been hacked. I saw this happen to another site recently.

I am also not completely sure which of the opened windows caused it, but I was browsing e-cig links only yesterday and got three of these Avira events:

Virus or unwanted program 'JS/Agent.1366 [virus]'
detected in file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Frankie\Local Settings\Temp\opera\cache\opr059SM.
Action performed: Delete file

Might be from there. I was looking at that empty forum, too. I thought they were just starting and that was why no messages were there yet.
