Hey now~

Sending off a quick PM to the "staff" here that I know frequent the Canada forums. I was checking out some of the sites from the "list" and my avast! antivirus blocked it due to a trojan. Not sure if I can post the site publically, so if you haven't gotten my PM and want more info, I will be happy to oblige.

Malwarebytes occasionally gives me a blocked site warning when there's a picture in a post. It's one of those things that you never know about unless you have real time re-direction protection. I don't worry about it as long as Malwarebytes registered version is on the job.

Only those who have no real time protection need worry, but the ECF staff needs to know about the problem.

Rttch, is this the Canadian juice and supplier list you are referring to? If so, I'm not sure who maintains a master copy of the list but it could be worth a mention on it. I run an array of "tools" on my PC (AVG, Marlwarebytes & Ghostery to name a few) and they are constantly "squawking" as I navigate through the internet. Keeping oneself protected is paramount these days, unless you want to constantly deal with viruses etc causing PC issues.

I sent off a few more PMs to those who requested it. One person went to the site and didn't get any warning...

I can provide the log from avast if anyone wants to read into it more. I don't know the innards of a virus beyond seeing the big red warning on my screen and feeling the comfort that it was blocked before any damage could happen to my computer. Ran full scans on my computer from Malwarebytes and avast just to make sure and looks like I was kept safe.
