![]() 5 times in the last week when viewing images on ImageTwist it has attempted to install malware on my PC.
I once thought that maybe I was getting a false positive so told my virus software not to block what it was attempting to do. It then installed a nasty piece of malware called 'Vista Total Security'. Today I log back into PS, click in a preview pic, it takes me to ImageTwist and guess what, yep it tried to install the malware again. ImageTwist ALWAYS loads a video chat pop up within the page, the malware is attached to that. I don't know if PS bans image hosts, but if they do, please add ImageTwist to the list. |

![]() I have seen this quite often with almost every image host. Most recently with Pimp N Host about 2 months ago. These web sites rent ad space out to just about anybody and if you tell them about it they can't seem to find the offenders. My favorite manga web site has the same thing happen. I tell them when a malware virus thing tried to download to my PC and they claim they could not find who was doing it. They said I must have gotten it somewhere else and its on my PC not their site. Of course it only happens when I visit their web site.

They must randomly try sneaking that shit in. Say every 1000 hits they sneak it in. If every ad from a site had it then it could be found and eliminated. |

![]() Your right about sneaking it in. It does not happen every time I visit a page there, but it has got so frequent that I do certainly know it is that site. I noticed the last time it happened that the pop-up video chat advert was taking longer than usual to load and up came my anti-virus software warning me.
If your anti-virus is up to date it's not much of a problem, but if it's not or you ignore the warning Vista Total Security is a nasty infection. |

![]() Plenty of infections are one hit and then they disappear so sites/forums that are hacked are none the wiser after it happens

Reason: adding comment
Still pays to report any images/links that generate warnings so they can be checked and removed as needs be If the same host gets reported often enough it will most likely be banned eventually I've noticed while surfing through tgps & google image returns a marked increase in this type of infection Simply close everything via ctrl/alt/delete - end task then run your anti-malware software purely for precaution. Its when you try and close the tabs/windows/screen messages by clicking with your mouse that you get infected. EDIT Of course imagetwist just happens to be that rarest of beasts a imagehost that pays cash rewards Amazing how the dollar rewards attract undesirable outcomes |

![]() I got that virus about a year ago. If I tried to do anything on the net it automatically rerouted me to their web site and wanted my cc info. I had Macafee AV and I called them up. They told me the virus was not covered under their list of virus definitions. However they could manually remote fix my PC for the cost of $89.95.

I had no choice but to pay the $90 (over my years subscription I already pay) and they had me talk to a lady in India I could barely understand. She remote accessed my PC and in about 5 minutes had the virus out of my PC. Took her 5 minutes and I'm out $90. So right after that I made sure to get rid of Mcafee and now I have Norton AV and when a file site tries to download that virus my Norton AV stops it right away. |

![]() McAfee and Norton are both utter garbage, Microsoft security essentials is far superior to both.
Had this virus about 3 weeks ago! took me about 10 mins to remove it! Boot up in safe mode with networking, install Malwarebytes, run it. Virus removed. Cost $0!

![]() Well, I wish everybody would just use Imagevenue or Imagebam for pictures. Pimphost is ok I suppose too...though it's still kinda ad, or popup heavy when you actually go to get the pic.
Haven't had any probs with Imagevenue or Imagebam. When I see other photohosts for pictures used, I usually don't click on them. |

![]() imagetwist.com is dumping 0.5 GB on my hard drive, is slow to download, and temporarily slows my computer right down.
