I put up a post about this a while ago, and many others agreed they were getting the same thing.
Now, it's becoming intolerable.
I just got nailed with a "general" Trojan, from a pop-up (off main page, and WB page) just entering the site.
Now, just sitting within a forum page reading a thread, I had a giant pop-up occur every 30 seconds or so.
When I go to download something, 90% of the time, I get a pop-up when entering that page.
Sometimes it starts as a small pop-up in the lower right-hand corner of my monitor, then expands to a large full-screen one.
Other times, a small pop-up in the upper left-hand portion of my monitor, which is the one I just got the Trojan from (yes, it's possible to get a Trojan from just opening a site; malicious HTML; I'm a coder, so I know and it's been happening for years).
Other times, just one giant pop-up behind the main browser.
Damn, you've got to be kidding me! I just got one now while sitting here typing this!
This is ridiculous, and I and others have already made complaints about this.
I've posted screenshots in the past, and nothing was done. I have more screenshots now, but I really don't have the time to be uploading a ton of these just to "prove" it's coming from here... it is!
All I'm asking, as a patron of Wincustomize for the last 3 years, is that the webmasters removed the embedded coding that seems to plague this site these days, which is allowing these pop-ups.
Please, do not "argue" with me here... there's another thread I started a while back with many people having the same problem... it's true... and yes, I know what I'm doing and I know what I'm talking about... just to avoid those who would "flame" out of lack of maturity.
I'm 31 years old and a programmer/graphic artist and build pcs... so please, don't tell me I'm not having this problem with this site... it's ONLY from this site, and it started sometime around the beginning of this year, and only got worse.
I'm hoping I can fully weed-out this damn trojan, but I'm asking you guys again... PLEASE look into this, alright?
It's becoming such a problem, I almost cannot visit WC anymore.
I'm running hardcore anti-virus, firewalls and totally updated IE... so I cant even imagine how these pop-ups are getting through, but the trojans (2nd one I've gotten from a pop-up here) attach to cookies... which, while might seem easily deleted, trojans are notoriously hard to completely get rid of, and that's a problem... not to mention the spyware coming from these pop-ups (yes, I'm protected, but it still gets through) and it just being a general huge annoyance.
I'm a long-time Stardock customer, and would appreciate someone finally looking into this and resolving the problem.
Thank you.
