lotos Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I have a suspicion that one of the spin and win links has malicious software. Namely the 2nd from last one from the bottom (says browser list) if I recall. Has anyone else had any flashing warning saying "you're computer has been infected with a virus" or found your computer has started to run ridicously slow? Not spinning much these days as a result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageMMa Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Yeah, that link has been broken for a couple weeks now... It brought me to a warning page and now every time I click it, it says "redirecting" so I close it out, I have checked my programs and my downloads on my computer and am unaware of any actual viruses but it should still be taken down... another link was broken but seems to be fixed now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had warnings that a page might be infected or unsafe, but I've never "picked up" anything from those links. Those scary looking flashing warnings are actually ads, inviting you to click them. They are either trying to sell you something (some almost surely useless, probably dangerous service), or get you to a much more dangerous page to actually infect your computer.
