Just wanted to give a heads up that the Creation website may be having some Malware related issues going on. If anyone knows how to get a hold of their Webmaster, could they please either copy/paste the following info and send to them, or PM an addy? Thanks!
1. Problem only ever occurs when I click on 'Upcoming Events' link
2. Browser window will completly shut down, and an official lookin blue prompt supposedly from "Windows Internet Explorer" will pop up in the middle of my desktop telling me preformance is low and I need to go a certain website to remove possible Trojans.
3. The Website the link leads to, including the bizzare URL, doesn't look at all like something that Internet Explorer would associate themselves with. I also was unable to google any info about the two having anything to do with one another.
4. When you go to the Site it will automatically 'scan' for virus'. In my case it claimed to pull up three Backdoor Trojans. In order to remove the supposed Trojans, you are prompted to 'run' their software. If you decline, you will not be able to leave the page without shutting down the browser window completly.
At first I thought maybe it was a one time glichey spyware thing or something really was wrong with my computer, but now it frequently happens at that same place on the Creation page. It is so annoying that I will no longer go there.
So now, I have two concerns: It's either an intricately thought up scam to convince people to download nasty software that really will put evil things on their computer, or I really do have these backdoor Trojans and I'm too paranoid to trust what could be an authentic Internet Explorer program to remove them. I tend to think it's the first theory though, so be careful!
