How does FC want it's members to report viruses? What does FC need to know to prevent viruses. A form or link for virus attack reporting would be nice.
-
I too have been having trouble with fusion cash and it goes off to another link some of it not so nice. I think fusion cash has been attacked, Please check into this it is such a great site.
Thanks

Oh, that is so scary. I love this site and spend a lot of time here, but this is not my only paid site as I have to do something out of my home for money. If that happened it would be a true nightmare.
-
This suggestion is not meant to be scary or critical of Fushion Cash. Fushion Cash is a great site and treats its members fairly and with care. It is a suggestion meant to help members assist Fushion Cash maintain their high standards.

When I had my own computer sometimes while on fusion it would humm and get hot. I think it is the advertising linkiing to you computer and not a virus but a spy. You can delete spies.

Mine goes on to something else as well. Maybe they should look into it. :dontknow:
-
Was on account page, clicked to go to forum page. No forum page appeared but an unmentionable page did. It was not a FC page at all and it seems I was logged out of FC. All this not my choosing. This is twice this has happened. Any explanations?
-
Wow, I've not had any problem at all thankfully
-
i cant get the thank you for downloading the fc tool bar pageoff my comp i even uninstalled it
-
I have had the same thing happen with clicking on the weather on the paid to click and gotten a very un welcome pop up of the adult nature how that happened I have no clue. This has done it several times.. Thankfully my virus protection stopped a trojin horse from happening and no virus got into my computer. Would be nice to fix this or see why its happening. Maybe someone has tagged a cookie or something into the link. I don't know. :dontknow:

what the heck an virus we dont need that cause we have kids that need to be taking care of.

This happens because of ad code (from adhitz.com) on the forum pages and on some PTC pages. We are not placing harmful links or redirects, and neither is adhitz. What's happening is that there's a virus or malware on your computer which is clever enough to intercept and re-write the adhitz ad code while it's being downloaded. Then, the ad code triggers a redirect and your first thought (naturally enough) is to blame the site you were on when it appeared.
We have not been able to reproduce this on our end, tested extensively.
You can go to another site which has adhitz ads (e.g. clixsense.com) and see if you are hijacked/redirected. If you are, it's a good idea to run a scan for malware and adware. Keep in mind that not all anti-virus and anti-malware software are create equal, and sometimes you need specialized tools (e.g. if you have a rootkit).

Thank you for the explanation Administrator. This sheds some light on the problem. All of my scans on my computer have come up negative. If there is any further info on your part please let us know. Way to go FC as always :thumbsup:
-
thanks for all the great info!!! :thumbsup:
-
Thanks for the information. I had seen something related earlier in the week on a different thread. I as well have had this happen but I thought it must have been me not paying attention and figured I had clicked on something for hair loss or *bleep* that lead to the more adult content. I have not run my antivirus for updates as it is supposed to be working all the time, but now that I know this I will to be on the safe side. As always the information, updates and assurances are most appreciated.
-
Thanks Admin for the comprehensive and really detailed explanation.
-
Wow, I haven't had any problems, but I do make sure that I have my Norton's updated and ALWAYS running, so I am sure that helps eliminate much fo it! Can't stress enough about using your anti virus programs!

No root kits here, no viruses or trojans, here. The redirects are not a constant thing (where they were for a while). However, they still happen, even to me. Have run virus scans, malware scans, root kit finders, etc. I even went so far as to look for BOTS (even though I haven't used IRC in years). There's nothing on my computer. As a matter of fact, I haven't been "infected" in ANY way in many years. I used to use Clixsense and never had a problem with their site. Haven't used them for a while now.
I don't think anyone is trying to blame Fusion Cash for the problem but, we do want you to be aware that it is happening, nonetheless. Thanks, Admin, for the explanation. :)

Thankyou for the great information I am glad I have never run into this problem.

For over a week now everytime I try to go to "My Thought Counts" I get a warning saying it has detected something that may be harmful to my computer. I just close out of it but I sure do miss trying to qualify for those $1.00 surveys. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would appreciate it. Thanks!
-
It isnt just this site. I have been running across this on other sites also.
-
I ran across an ad that was not nice at all. Thankfully my roommate suggested I run a scan and it cleared everything. Thanks Admin for the info.
-
me too, when I do the paid to click it goes off to another site and not so nice I might add. I have made comments before but it still is doing it hope fusion cash gets it fixed soon.
-
Thanks Admin for being pro active and informing us of what you know about a situation like this. It is comforting to know that there are things that we can do to check our individual systems and to clean things up and that it is not something that we have done perhaps by misdirecting our clicks. Thanks again for all that you do and for keeping us informed.
-
Wow! okay now this maybe the reason that my system started running slow. I have ran my virus protection and cleared my cookies and history, lets see what happens.
Thanks again!!
-
Something Good must be happening! Virus protection software has not blocked any potential attacks for about 10 days now. Way to go Fusion Cash!
-
Glad I stimbled upon this thread today - great info - thanks for sharing and raising the awareness! :wave:
-
Just today when I clicked to check out my horoscope it went thru some motions and bam *bleep* It said I had access to *bleep* I was like what the heck is going on I cancelled out of there and started over and It worked fine just a little 411 :(
-
I have not had that problem yet and hope that I don't. I think you all should let FC know. :dontknow:
-
hmm glad this hasn't happened to me. I think I might have to call it quits if so it is not worth my computer.
-
People shouldn't become frightened by this, and start pointing fingers.
Your computer can gain an infection or a virus attack by simply going online.
There are such things as drive by attack wherein you may find a fake antivirus appear
on your system, phishing ( a fake web page or form) this can happen by typing the
wrong info into your browser eg. FusinCash (FusionCash).
Precautionary methods:
Keep you computer up to date with a paid anti-virus, internet security or malware protection software before going or allowing your kids to go online.
Clear cookies/history regularly.
Choose better passwords and change them more regularly
If the website has a digital signature, look for it before login.
With that being said I do believe in having an area for error reporting...

yea definitely Virus protection should be a priority for FC.

:wave: thanks for this valuable information, my computer is always protected due to pass mistakes i have learned.

My computer has been lagging lately, but it's from NeoBux. By my experience, Fusion Cash has the least amount of those problems. :thumbsup:
