Today I went to the main www.songfight.net page and a virus warning popped up on my work computer. It wasn't from my antivirus - felt like it was from an html attack. I've had bad luck with that in the past, (By trying to shut a window, it actually clicks through to download the antivirus spam program) so I just shut the browser down and used a direct link to get to the forums.
Anyone else have issues on the main songfight site, or am I being paranoid?

Nope, it's there. There was some malware added to the site when someone managed to gain access, and that's another bit that needs to be cleaned up.

That must be why my employers firewall, out of nowhere, has started blocking both the .org and .net versions of the songfight url. Really a pain in the ass since I don't have an internet phone and I wanted to see where my round 2 entry came out and then recruit my duet partner! Who knows how long it'll be before the firewall resets though, if it ever does.fluffy wrote:Nope, it's there.

I thought it was ads with shady redirect activities going on.
When I click VOTE I would get a warning with AVG about the pop up that says Thanks For Voting.
I just ignore it because I know better than to click strange links and I only have basic plug ins not-blocked.
I haven't had a warning in the last week. Is it not fixed?
