Viruses on Reduser?

[dadoboy]

Anyone try going to REDUSER.net this morning and found a "virus scanner" trying to take over and infect your computer?

I tried accessing Reduser from two different computers, two different locations. I didn't even have to go into any of the threads to be attacked.

I closed down the computer in both cases.

I'm not exaggerating, it was frightening as I could have lost a lot of information. Other than dvxuser, and dpreview it was the only website I had visited.

Nope seems fine to me.

Just lock down your PC(s), and run malwarebytes, and then do a full AV scan.

If you have been using a USB thumb drive/hard drive, then scan all of them as well, they are also a major virus vector.

Any files you have used between computers, (eg, via FTP, Cloud storage etc) should also be scanned.

I just went there and saw nothing. What browser are you using?

 

[Jason Ramsey]

been fine for me all day... haven't heard any other folks bring this up either....

It's revenge for all the hype and no delivery of the Scarlet. Bad RED!

So I decided to visit the forum when I had the stomach flu and licked my monitor over and over. Take that!

I wasn't sure what was going on. But now google puts out an advisory against the site.
What happens to me is:

1. I visit reduser.net using IE8 and Windows XP.
2. It opens up a Video for Windows pop up and tries to "run a video".
2. Trojan horses and malware like Antivirus Pro infect your computer.

Here is the google advisory:

jannard just released a statement promising their viruses will display at a much higher resolution and utilize a better codec than other viruses. he also posted a 3d model of what the virus could look like. of course everything is subject to change, so keep checking back.

would said virus be available in any color other than black?

I prefer a red Skulls and Cross Bones myself, but hey, I'm old school that way.
