Waring http://www.free-domaine.net/!

[canardpress]

As you may know, a new site has been started up which gives out free domains. The website http://www.free-domaine.net/ requires only a popup or popunder for a free domain. The catch, a virus. When this popup is opened it installs a virus which creates the potential for a hacker to control your computer, but is most likely used to put spyware for advertisiers or ads on your computer. I would strongly suggest you stay away from this site.

punkfan91 - Di you know about this? vbmenu_register("postmenu_542428", true);

No, I had no idea about this. How does the virus work? Is it a keylogger or something? Thanks for telling me about this, I will stop offering the domains if they are giving out free viruses with them.

I believe it is an ActiveX control, if you have SP2 they won't affect you.

[canardpress]

By putting this popup on your page however you are effecting everyone without SP2 that goes to your site. The virus workes by automatically intalling its self.. so be careful.

[yhap2004]

Yeah. Tx canardpress I knew it along time ago, but no one seems to listen. Oh well!!

[canardpress]

Its ok.. somties you just need to start a new topic..lol.

As long as you have a browser that is not spyware prone, like Opera. Then your fine.

[canardpress]

Well yes, but why would you want to infect all of you visitors? That's just making it worse you know..

[yhap2004]

well they had a topic with free domain and someone posted that link and i've tried it and posted a reply!!

[domainking]

I really wouldnt worry about this. Less and less ppl are using Internet Explorer which is pretty much the only browser than can be infected. Only idiots use IE anymore.

[canardpress]

Thank you for you lovely comment domainking.. May I remind you that the internet is build for Internet Explorer, and that over 80% of the population still uses it. To willingly infect 80% of you site's visitors is just wrong.

[canardpress]

We have taken down the zpanel signups for now so we can deal with the current ones. We also recently siwtched to bizari.com, so we have to change the subdomains and e-mail the users.

[domainking]

If infecting them makes them realize that their using the worst browser ever, then so be it.

[bozley05]

My site must have a smart population then, coz only 62.9% of my users use IE, which just looking at that came as a shock to me. I thought it would be 80-90, but domainking is certainly right, less and less people are using it.

[domainking]

And this is a good thing. As ppl realize that IE is spyware prone and slow, more and more will switch. I recommend Opera.
