Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - **Public Apology to Phat Bucks and Sic Cash**

Recently I have suffered from my certain sponsor urls being redirected to R@pe sites and other non related adult sites.

I posted a warning on another webmaster board asking if anyone else is affected by these redirects when using Phat bucks and SicCash Sponsor links.

Everyone else was ok but myself and another webmaster were being redirected to some pretty gross sites.

I run a pretty tight ship when it comes to internet security or so I thought, I have hourly updated AV software,Adaware,Spybot Search and Destroy ad a few others ,as well as always having the latest Microsoft patches and security updates installed.

I found it quite unlikely that something could get all this.But last night I proved myself totally Wrong.

After installing http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/ the program is called hijack this

It found many entries in my registry file and after I deleted them and reset my PC my surfing returned to normal

They also have a support forum here http://forums.spywareinfo.com/

I would like to extend my Apologies to both
Phat bucks and Sic Cash for wrongly pointing the finger of blame at them for the redirection.

I know know 100% for sure that they were NOT RESPONSIBLE for this in any way shape or form.

I would like to remind anyone that read that thread and may have removed Phat Bucks of Sic Cash links as a result of my posting that you have acted on wrong information. |badidea|

Thanks Everyone for taking the time to read this as it has the potential to effect all of us..

I hope the perps of this redirection are caught and dealt with unjustly and I have a special message for them

very much

Now if you excuse me I'm going to shut my mouth before I put my Foot in it again

Regards,

Wicked1
