All,

Just a quick heads up. For those of you who frequent YSR50.com for YSR information, it's currently laden with virus code.

About 3 weeks ago, I visited YSR50.com and got this nasty Antivirus 2010 virus that tooks me hours to remove with SDfix and Malwarebytes.

At the time, I had no idea where I caught the virus. 4 days ago, I visited YSR50.com again and caught the same virus. I have numerous anti-malware software and the little bugger still caused me issues. There is now threads in the forum stating it's distributing the virus.

If you use firefox and have your security set on medium-high, it won't let you visit the site. However, if you are on IE, good luck.

If you think I'm full of it, feel free to visit YSR50.com in IE and enjoy removing the virus after your PC bluescreens.

Visit on a cell phone or Ipod or apple if you want to see what I'm talking about. IE users need not apply.

Looks like it does. Thats why i like avast, it instantly alerts me then deletes the virus code and abort the website connection. You also forgot Linux it won't get infected either.

Install and run malwarebytes.

Restart your PC. If that doesn't take care of it, look into SDfix after you back up all your personal files. It will take 3-4 hours to run.

Not fun.

I log on there every day, but somehow it always go's strait to the sign in page, and for about 3wk or so I have been getting that same blue screen, I had know Idea where or what was making it to that. thanks for the heads up looks like no ysr50.com for me for a while.

If you go to the forum directly you will not even have to hit the ysr50.com site. The forum is hosted by the proboards and is not affected. I'm Surprised nobody explained this yet.
Compare the 2 addresses. The first one will bring you directly to the forums without risk to your computer. The second link is to ysr50.com. These are 2 different domains.
