Virus or something at FWW.com (RESOLVED)

[Frederick Skelly]

Just a courtesy warning for anyone who uses Fine Woodworking.com. I tried to view several videos this evening using a laptop and my web monitor/antivirus software went nuts. I was being redirected to a fantasy gaming site I didnt recognize. I tried a second time and they tried to redirect me to some kind of rant about woodworking.

Im in the process of running a full scan on my laptop right now. If the site doesnt clear up by Monday Ill call FWW customer service. But I wantedto let you know, FWIW.

Well, no virus turned up. But somehow I ended up with a copy of FastFreeConverter, malware that redirects your browser.

So it wasnt FWW's problem after all.

Good luck. Redirect viruses can be a SERIOUS pain in the hiney.
