Just thought I would give you a heads up on a virus warning my Norton caught this morning. On Paid to Click I chose the Home Money Biz advertisement and received a warning that the site contained a virus and cautioned me about proceeding.
So, if you have not already done the Paid to Click for today you may want to pick Survey Scout or one of the others for the time being....just to be on the safe side.
Otherwise, everything else seems to be functioning properly and I still received credit.
Happy clicking.!!

I got that today too and I know I have not prior and I use Norton as well. I almost wonder if our definitions were updated to see that site as a virus or if they got hacked :wave:
-
Thanks for the warnings.
-
OK, what gives??? I just got the same warning on My Thought Counts...Samplicious...Survey Head...Give Us Your 2 Cents...SSI Daily Survey....these pages are showing up as a Google Chrome warning and I use Norton...nothing new with either, no updates, no modifications to the settings...hmmmm
I don't understand.....never had this happen before...is anyone else getting these warnings on almost every page???
-
yes i use google chrome, too, and have gotten the warning with every single survey! I clicked on them all - but will not go to the pages. Luckily, for the daily 15 cents, I automatically clicked on survey scout which came up just fine - but after clicking the thing for toluna, the malware warning came up, so I quickly exited, before going to the page, yet got my 15 cents anyway.

Thanks you for the info. This is frightening!!! I did not have any problem like this this morning but I also have a mac and Apple tells me that Apple products have built in virus protection. I think that you should post this same message under support and put the subject in capital letters or even open a support ticket because I think that the administrator needs to be made aware of this problem ASAP. FC is beta testing a new daily email. I wonder if that would have anything at all to do with the virus warnings. :dontknow:

someone did post a thread in the "support" section of the forum about the issue...so hopefully they will catch it soon and check into it..
-
I, too, wondered about that - with the new email testing....something new, and suddenly this?
-
I don't have Norton, but I didn't even get to the page. I got a Google Safe Browsing stop page:

Same here with the PTC for Money Biz. My norton expired but firefox gave me a similar warning. This isn't the first time I've seen it though so i dont think the new email testing has anything to do with it. Was surprised to read it happening for all the survey pages though :dontknow:
-
It is always great when we all look out for each other. Thanks guy for telling us about the issues.
-
Thanks for the heads up!
-
yea my chrome just blocked that too strange, its never happened before
-
I got the warning too. I am using FF but have several security features beside that. Maybe we can get a new choice to click on. I for one am tired of that one anyway.
-
That's very strange I've haven't gotten these warnings but I do know have had unrelated issues with all these daily surveys recently, not the daily click, though. They've not credited or disqualified me oddly enough.
-
I use FF and have Norton and I received the same message today. I used survey scout instead and no problem.
-
I got that too. Well, as long as everyone has their active antivirus when doing ptc, they should be fine.
-
I use Firefox and normally don't have any problems, although today in doing the Paid to Click, when I clicked on part "b" to redeem my .15, Firefox gave me a warning page about the advertisement. I've only seen that warning once before when I clicked on the Home Money Biz sponsor, which I don't click on anymore. I usually click on the WorldWide Lotto one and don't have any problems.
As far as there being issues with the daily surveys, it sounds like most the complaints are coming from those of you who use Google Chrome, so maybe it's a browser issue and you need to use a different browser. :dontknow:
-
I use Fire Fox and got the same warning everyone else is talking about when clicking on Home Money Biz. I still got credited the $0.15.
-
anyone using a browser other than chrome or ff and getting the warning?
-
So far, today. NO WARNINGS...they seemed to have resolved the issue.
;D
-
I use Internet Explorer and I didn't get any warnings on the paid to click page but I got a blank page instead of the fusion toolbar page. Everything was normal and I received credit. I haven't tried any of the surveys yet.
I have McAfee not Norton. I just tried the surveys and they all worked alright but were slow to come up.
-
Thank you for giving us all a heads up about this.
-
I got the warning again today when doing PTC and the Daily Cash Email.
-
The warning is back. Not only did I get it on the Paid to Click, but also got it on the ad page that the Daily Email linked to.
Be careful...no need to take any chances ..a few coins is not worth risking a virus on your computer..just think of all the money you will be out if you do get attacked...
-
Thanks for the heads up so others don't get a virus. Good thing you had good virus protection.
-
Yeah thanks for letting us know. I don't think that I'm getting the warning and often times they will warn about anything that looks like a warning. I don't click that one anymore cause I've gotten phone calls in the past about it. Not sure if that was why because I didn't put any additional info :dontknow:
-
earlier today i was unable to do a couple of the daily surveys on my "good" computer... i dunno if it was just firefox or what... but im going to try to do them again on this computer and see what happens
-
I am using ff and I got the warning today on Paid to Click. I wonder whats up with this.
-
Thank you for the heads up! My virus software hasn't picked anything up, maybe time for an upgrade? haha thanks though!
-
I has the same thing happen and it wouldn't let me open the page, thank goodness. Just warned me about an "attack" page. I hope someone is looking into this
-
i do as well... those offers i could have clicked on are worth almost 5 bucks :(
-
oh wow thnx for the advice, havent been on in awhile due to some issues but yeah.
Thnx again XD
-
This is like the 3rd time that this page has popped up when trying to complete my daily emails and ptc. What's really going on????
-
i didn't have any problem with them today... not yet anyway
-
Thanks for the heads up!
-
crazy stuff gotta be careful when using so much personal info.
-
Thanks for the warning :thumbsup:
-
Good to know thats the last thing i need! A virus that would cost me way more then i make on this site!

I got the "Attack Page" again today when I opened up the link for the Daily Cash Email and Paid to Click. I did get credited as usual, but it's too bad they are still being hit with some sort of virus attack.
-
The same thing is happening to me. I just get out of there real fast, and after I'm done with fusioncash I always run my Avast antivirus to make sure I don't have any viruses.
-
Thanks for the info!! I normally use Worlwidelotto! I have never seen a problem with that channel. You got to be careful out there!!!
-
Yup,
Got a similar warning that 'this site could be dangerous' etc. seemed to be affecting certain offers early in the day, so I just got out od dodge and ran my McAfee anti-virus. Everything seemed okay. Probably a good idea to reboot and stay away from those offers today. From one of the previous posts, someone has already sent in a Support Ticket, so we should hear something from the Administrator on this. it seems pretty widespread. Did a Daily Task and got an 'OOPS' message that the server for that job was very busy today and I had to wait a minute before resuming, but was able to finish and got credit! Probably unrelated to the other warning.
You do have to be careful out there. received a suspicious e-mail with an e-mail attachment last week supposedly from the FBI in Washington D.C. telling me I was the target of an anti-terrorist investigation! when i checked the return address, saw that it was from an AOL account and called a local branch of the FBI to let them know. said they were already aware and to just delete it and empty the Recycle bin, so that's what I did. Felt like an episode of 24! Of course, never open an e-mail attachment if you don't recognize the person who sent it to you!

I usually always use the World Wide Lotto link as well and no probs today or ever for that matter (been gone for a week though). Curious to see if it happens when I attempt Tix for Opinions here in a few...
-
I'll try to explain what's happening here.
We get some of our offers from a partner company, and all of those offer links go through a particular domain name. There are many hundreds of offers on this domain. One of those advertisers had their website hacked and malware inserted into it. Whichever advertiser it was, they are not on FusionCash - so you don't need to worry. But Google's "safe browsing" system blocks the entire offer tracking domain when it finds a hacked advertiser's page. That's why you are seeing this warning, and why it's OK to proceed.
-
Thank you for explaining...now I feel much better about proceeding! My norton will quarantine anything anyway so I guess I didn't need to worry anyway!
-
Maybe it was just a warning? I haven't had any problems with that offer! But thanks for the heads up.

thanks for the heads up
