WARNING FOR ANYONE USEING/USED ATDHE.NET

i think that was the laptop **ing you over after being made to show the red sox game

Cheers. Anyone have similar warnings about the other ones? (channel surfing, from sport etc)

and what protection did you have on your laptop magic man, if you don't mind me asking?

ive got avg free and norton

cost me 75quid this morning to getsomeone out to sort it it was 100pervcent from atdhe.net

i can believe it, have been warned about them before a couple of times

I've been warned a few times about it but never picked up anything from there.... yet.

yeah that site keeps coming up as unsafe on my anti-virus so AVOID

I use this site every single day and have done for a while and have never had an issue.

Not saying I disbelieve you, just putting my view across

do you have xp? its just that since ive had vista ive not had a virus, had dozens with xp.

i also use atdhe every day, have for at least a year, probably more, never had a problem...i use vista..??

Ive had viruses from there before, but they've always been easy removable and annoying rather than dangerous (the ones that ask you to buy their virus cleaner etc etc)

Try not to use the site if possible but I don't avoid it 100%

I use Windows 7 now but was using Vista, had problems with neither. Just for information:

How sure are you the viruses came from there?

maybe if you leave the porn alone you should be ok

atdhe.net itself has never caused me a problem and is used daily here, the external links that they supply that can sometimes cause minor problems. As the poster above said, usually some pop-up annoyance but nothing malicious in my experience.

i agree atdhe.net is a great site.

AVG is a waste of time, for the record

ive found all anti-viruses a waste of time. even the paid stuff like norton and macfee or whatever its called never did anything when i got an actual virus, only found viruses that werent viruses anyway.

All the "big names" in AV are pretty rubbish, McAfee and Norton aren't good.
NOD32, take a look at this, not too expensive and has been in the top 3 for the last 5 years or so in AV tests run by various independants, its what I advise (I work in IT)

i picked up a virus after being on that site....computer couldnt log back online the day after....avg and malwarebytes i have now...no probs...the latter the best.

Kaspersky internet security ive used for 4 years and its solid, for spyware if i get the odd thing which is rare i run malwarebytes and there not alot that that prog wont remove, keep them 2 progs and you wont go far wrong.

It is not so much the site itself but the links that are put up in the chat section. so whwn you are watching a game and the link dies and you see "watch X gamw here" and click on it, that is whe nthe damage gets done.
