|
|
When I try to get on here using my main windows computer I get shut out with a warning from AVG that something is hijacked.
I am on using my laptop with Avira, no warning. I hope the warning from AVG was a mistake.
Anyone else notice an oddity? |

The server was down earlier for some form of emergency maintenance. Maybe they found and corrected whatever was unacceptable to AVG. |

Yep, certain pages on this forum redirect me to hxxp://spweblog.com/, which doesn't actually seem to exist anymore. I assumed something has been hijacked. Not sure if that's related to your AVG problem but it sounds fairly likely.
EDIT: Obfuscated the URL. Probably not a good idea to click or visit there in case it is dodgy. |

Yep, seems very likely. Thanks! |

Had the same problem for a few days. I noticed that this seems to be the only topic since august 27, 2009. I'm afraid some topics are lost. Can anyone confirm this... _________________ Marc

I assumed that maybe the redirects had just been putting people off posting. Not sure if any topics were lost.
The message at the top of the forum at least explains wapati's problem.
