mrtc Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Not sure if this is happening for anyone else but when I click a link to get to the Unitronics forum through Google search it redirects to another website and tries to install spyware. This only happens the first time the link is clicked though; subsequent clicks go to the forum proper. I tried this on multiple computers and the same thing happened. Example: 1. Search google for: "visilogic hide" 2. Click on a result to the Unitronics forums. 3. Instead of going to Unitronics forum, redirects to "url4short" or something and will try to install software.

MVP 2021 Joe Tauser Posted April 22, 2014 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 +1 My malware program popped up that a trojan was trying to download itself. I edited the post title to get the Creators attention. Well, isn't that special! Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
