Re: ffxi-altas virus detected?

Beside posting something like this tarnish other's website reputation, it is wise to lock the threat right away.

so it sounds like you were in agreement with the lock. what is the issue then?

The issue here is, no one verify this problem, this post was locked like 3 hour after i post. So i did a typo, people still unwillingly take it serious knowing exactly what i mean.

When i did the typo, that link i provded should be "No address is found" page. Yet half of these people insist that is the website that contain virus. While they know exactly in their heart, i was talking about the REAL website (knowing it was a typo). Hence, the problem here is "No one taking threats seriously, and they are misguiding others and diverge the problem away".

Now imagine, if this was actually a REAL threat, let say if FFxionline was infected by hecker and implanted a trojan that steal people account. Because of these people, many who did not install protection program would become infected and resulting loss of thousands of accounts.

Its something people should become more aware, even on these part of the forum, let's not become the victim of the issue because of some people's foolishness.

It might tarnish the website owner's reputation but should i leave these people being clueless step right into a trap?

And you mind wonder, why i am so work up on this, because it happened before. In Asheron's call, this exactly happened.

Re: ffxi-altas virus detected?

Although, you didn't type the address correctly not once, but twice (in the title and on the link), so it was safe to asume you just went to the wrong site by mistake.

Also, who would click on a link to go to a bogus site just to see if they would get a trojan? Regardless of what happened to ffxi-atlas the OP was wrong and that link needed to be removed anyway.

So I was right! Mwahahahaha.

Actually, it wouldn't be a "no address is found", because there is indeed a web site at the address "ffxi-altas.com". Plenty of web sites out there register domain names that are simply misspellings of existing web sites. They're hoping to receive traffic to their web site from people who mistype the URL they are trying to reach.

When I pulled up the web site, I didn't receive any virus warnings. But then, maybe it's because I'm using FireFox and not IE. I also tried going to ffxi-atlas right after this was posted, but before the thread was closed, and I don't remember getting any virus warnings.

And they deserve what's coming to them anyway, really.

Re: ffxi-altas virus detected?

This is really a pointless arguement. For whatever reason the OP was disregarded. It turned out to be a real problem but it's fixed now. That's really as much as the thread needs to say. Relocked.
