virus?

crazyone

Hi Greg,
Every time I've tried to visit YLF In the last hour or so, I get a message from my antivirus software saying that a certain URL address has been blocked. Has the website been hacked? I had trouble getting to the website in the first place, too.

No, the website hasn't been hacked as far as I can tell. Virus software sometimes makes mistakes (false positives). A few times in the past I have had to contact a virus software company and get them to make a correction.

Can you tell me what the URL was, and what anti-virus software you are using?

Hi Greg,

I'm using ESET NOD32 antivirus. I've attached a screenshot of the notification that shows up whenever I visit YLF.

That URL they are flagging is actually not us. It is a URL called by one of the ads on our page. I have disabled that ad network and I'll get in touch with them.

Thanks very much for the screenshot.

BTW, let me know whether you're still seeing this problem now that the ad network is disabled.

Hi Greg,

I no longer see the virus notification anymore. Glad I could be of assistance!
