Precautionary warning to my fellow Who-Dats: visit FinHeaven at your own risk. I went there tonight to see what the competition was saying, and within five minutes of browsing had an odd message from "yourtotalsecurity" appear from my screen suggesting that my computer was "at risk" or something, while simultaneously closing my browser. Clicked on the red X to close (not a false image of a red X, but the real one), and the next thing I see is Windows Explorer being scanned. Immediately rebooted, and everything seems to be fine. I did notice that upon opening FireFox, it went straight to a yourtotalsecurity page, but that might be attributed to Firefox remembering what was closed last. Annoying thing resized my Firefox browser window, too, to about a 2-inch box with barely anything visible.

Do a Google search for "FinHeaven" and "virus," and you'll see that this is a recent issue with ads that appeared on their site. I haven't clicked on any of the Google links for fear of going back to FinHeaven, but you can tell just be reading the Google descriptions that it's a real, recent issue. It might just be adware, but...well...ware is ware.

I think I'm okay - an up-to-date Norton's coming up blank on me. Nonethetless, as fun as it is to smack-talk and explore other teams' boards...you might want to pass on the Dolphins this go around.

Feel free to sticky this, Mods, if you so feel the need. I don't want anyone's computer getting infected.

I've run into that thing before Bayou. If you're still having trouble with it, there's a free program called malwarebytes that will take care of it. http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

If you ever see one of those boxes that says "do you want to do BLAH, YES or NO?" and it looks suspicious, don't ever hit anything, even the X. Instead, press ctrl+alt+del, go to your task manager and kill the internet browser (highlight and press the "end task" button). This will stop any malicious software from being installed most of the time.

I second that. Pretty straight-up board.

Or just hit Alt + F4 to close any current windows.

But what if she wants to talk to me now and is waiting? I mean, I may not get another chance to chat live with her, so can I really pass up that opportunity?

Darn! I got all excited thinking this would be another classic Bayou Bullet fishing expedition. Instead, it's only Bayou Bullet getting phished... and in more ways than one.


TBB... Considering your history... I think they saw you coming.
