Title: Virus on this website?
Post by: ghettodish on February 26, 2009, 11:13:43 pm

When I just signed on a minute ago my McAfee SiteAdvisor popped up and said:

arcadecontrols.com

In our tests, we found a small fraction of downloads on this site that some people consider adware or other potentially unwanted programs.

NTPAD XP 2.01
Analysis: W32/Stration@MM virus

This is a cut-n-paste of the url McAfee sent me to:
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/arcadecontrols.com?version=2&core_ver=1.0&pip=true&premium=false&client_ver=2.9.242&client_type=IEPlugin&suite=true&aff_id=518-1&locale=en-us&os_ver=6.0.0.0

Well, if you go to the ntpad's homepage, you'll see it got hacked at one point.   :dunno

And what it's referring to is links to things other people have posted here, not the site itself.

I have yet to have a problem with it though.......

If im not mistaken, siteadvisor analyzes outbound links, to warn you ahead of time. So like he aid above, the culprit is one of the linked sites, not this site itself.
