Anyone else..? (malware - cpi4u.com)

Submitted by supre_drake on Fri, 30/10/2009 - 11:51pm
In my hut, I think someone uses a horrible hosting site. I try to visit just the hut - not even the shop - (using Chrome for the first time) and I get this nasty thing: Warning: Visiting this site may harm your computer! The website at www.neopets.com contains elements from the site www.cpi4u.com, which appears to host malware – software that can hurt your computer or otherwise operate without your consent. Just visiting a site that contains malware can infect your computer. I'm sure most people use internet explorer, but still. Makes me want to get out of this hut. :K Any other browsers having this show up? I really only use Opera, FF, and now Chrome.

That message has been showing up for a while now. It's the mall called The Marketplace that is causing the problem :K

Make fun of Canada, eh? I live about a 20 minute drive from there. Should I go knock on his door and tell him to stop using malware:P

One of my friends was in this mall and I think it is legitimate though I have had the same problem with it in the past. I neomailed her about it and she said she would pass the info along to the mall manager...? Just move the image, dude!

I thought "the Marketplace" was long dead, hence all these issues lol EDIT: seems like it. Alot of their members have "quit" or only log in maybe once in a blue moon

I think I see a few members posting on the boards from time to time, but I think a lot have quit. I vaguely remember someone bringing a similar problem like this up before, but I never knew much about it because FF/Opera didn't give me a notice. Seriously though, the whole hut becomes bad. :K I might mail someone, in a polite, nice tone... - Kara

Sounds smart and again, I wish there was a 90 day inactive = getting kicked-out of the hut. The day you log back in though you get your spot back in the line-up... ~ Mimi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ Mimi's Ménagerie ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc
