Hello everyone,

My malwarebytes antimalware program started going off when I visit BigCloset about 15 minutes ago or so and it's saying that it's blocked a malicious website "img.justporno.sex" with the IP: 146.185.248.166. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if Erin and company think it's something important or not? I've visited most of the other TG Fiction sites and this is the ONLY site that Malwarebytes raises an issue with and I've ran it for years with not one squeak when visiting here.

Thanks,

Blossom

My Malware just threw the same warning. Never saw it here before.

Malwarebytes issuing warning..

No, this is the first time my Malwarebytes has acted like this with BigCloset as well. I certainly hope someone hasn't planted a nasty that causes Erin more work!!

Malware

I'm running on Norton and have been for some years and it's showing nothing. I'll run a scan whilst I'm on site and see if it shows something.

Malware..

No, my NOD32 antivirus didn't go off either.. I always run the Malwarebytes Anti-malware program in tandem with my antivirus so that one will catch what the other may miss.. It's saved my behind a few times which is why I was leery when it started popping up that it was blocking a malicious website.. evidently it was twigging to the site the image from the porno site that Erin found was linked too. I also run a little free program called SUPERAntiSpyware Free edition about once a month to clear off built up cookies and adware. It speeds up my machine a little bit when I clean all the trash off of it.

Hackers out there are just so nasty anymore that I was afraid someone had did something bad to the site or set something to try to mess up people's computers. Glad that it was only the one little thing!

Well good night all!

Nope, nothing shown on here. They do that sometimes. Mind you, you did the right thing in warning us, at least we know and better 10 false alarms than having one get through undetected.

Not a danger but a warning about hot-linking photos

It wasn't a danger but still a no-no. Please, everyone, do NOT hot link photos off of porno sites. I've taken care of this by removing the photo.

In fact, I would prefer that people do not hot-link photos at all. I make it easy enough to upload a photo so there is no reason to hot-link. Among other problems, hot-linking a photo can slow down the loading of the site.

Also, please do not upload photos to use that are copyrighted by someone else. You can get free to use photos from PixABay.com, Pexels.com and Wikimedia Commons. Some of them you need to provide attribution to use them, but it is all really simple.

Using photos with watermarks, like from the sites that RENT images as a business, is especially a no-no. That could get us sued.

Be friendly, it's Rule One.

Hugs,
Erin

Not A Danger But A Warning

I'm glad that it wasn't anything more serious Erin! Malwarebytes is usually a very reliable program so it set off red flags as soon as it started issuing 'Malicious Website Blocked' warnings over the image. Thank you for taking the time to explain what was happening also.

Biker Bitch Ch. 07

The image used on Biker Bitch Ch. 07 on the Stories page was from img.justporno.sex, which Malwarebytes blocks as a malicious web site. I notified the author, Michelle Nylons, and she replaced the image.
