Nasty Trojans In The Videos
« on: February 05, 2016, 05:05:26 am »
Just be careful folks there are some NASTY trojans in the Videos. They now require you to put a captch in on the Video Carousel and some others. After you put the captcha in your entire screen turns blue and you are told you need to call Microsoft..

There really is no excuse for this

I hope this is not true.  FusionCash has been a safe site for far too long to have this happen.

I've had this experience.  Several of the videos have messages such as this.  At first, I thought it might be serious but my computer has not started to act strange so I am not sure there is a problem.

I've not had this happen but thanks for the heads up.  Like others have said before I really hope this is not true because Fusion Cash is one of the few sites that I have never had to worry about.   ???

I haven't been able to get those videos to even work in the last few days, so I have not experienced this. But I wonder if maybe that's why the videos aren't working.

I've never had this happen to me on FC.... are you sure it's the videos/FC and not adware that you picked up somewhere else that is telling you that your computer is infected? I've gotten those before and they pop up while I'm surfing, etc

I had encountered the same exact problem.  I could not close the pop up window.

Be careful, I encounter two more today.
1st one was asking me to install new Flash player for windows 10.
2nd one was saying my ip address was infected with a virus, telling me to call a toll free phone number on the screen.

I've had popups like that! Oh honey, that's all they are. Don't worry about it. Popups like that are very, VERY common. I've seen them around for years. They aren't a virus or a trojan, but they are annoying as some you can't X out of. I mean if you install whatever they want you to install you probably WILL get a trojan, and if you call the number you might get scammed out of money. So you all just ignore them!

When the "white screen" pops up, hit the "x" at the top right. When the white screen pops up again, scroll to the bottom of the page and there's a box that you check to get out of both the white and blue screen. I forget what it says, but it works every time.

I had something similar happen to me on FC a few weeks back. Other members were having the same problem with the videos that day.

I reported it to Fusion Cash but by the time they investigated, all the videos were ok.

If it happens again, open a support ticket giving Fusion Cash the name of the video or better yet, take a screen shot or copy the video info and attach.
