Can't log in to buy stuff on Racketboy Store

^ It just says that nothing was reported by users. Is there no actual scan though?

I remember trying to log on using Internet Explorer, a while back, and AVG gave me warnings. I think this was back just before the server switch.

It does it's own quick scan of major pages as well. And I would think if AVG would catch something in the wild, it would pass the information to this database as well.

I also use a website monitoring service at
http://sucuri.net/

So far it seems clean, but this service will also monitor things on a daily basis for me as well.

just an FYI -- I had encountered this exploit on a laptop multiple times running IE 8. But when Im' on my main PC using Firefox it's no problem.

So you're saying IE sucks?

Sounds legit.

The exploit only seems to effect IE (and typically exploits a flaw in Adobe Reader)
From my research rouge ad banner would get IE to download a flawed PDF file that would cause Reader to crash and insert a fake antivirus program.

yeah it definitely has to do with Adobe reader. It actually got me once, and i had to system restore. It made it look like it was installing an Adobe update, then wiped out my IE favorites and turned my desktop black. Freaky shit. I actually only visit the RB front page when I'm on Firefox now. Kind of weird. No way for you to know how to shut it out?

I've seen the results from another site I run -- had the same issue.
Windows Restore is the best fix.
And from what I can tell, there isn't a real fix other than to get people to run more secure software.

It seems to have died down on the other site -- maybe Google is doing a better job weeding it out. I spent a lot of time and money reinstalling server software and doing lots of scans to make sure i wasn't missing anything.

apparently it's a pretty slick parasite, eh?

The virus isn't really the problem its the fact that I can't log in with the account I created for the store. It just says "*required fields" in red every time I try to log in.

Weird. I just created a test account and did a whole ordering process up through payment while logged in.

Can you email me at rackeboy AT gmail DOT and I can see if I can find your account?
