WoW-Wiki / Wowhead: Possible virus alert: XPOnlinescanner.com / XP Antivirus.

[OzPhoenix]

Hi all,

Browsing Wowwiki (at work...shhhh) and when following the wowhead shaman build link in the following page: http://www.wowwiki.com/Shaman_talents#Elemental - I got redirected to XPOnlinescanner.com a known and nasty little malware site that tries to get you to download XP Antivirus. Wowwiki said it was redirecting me to: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=u (I SUGGEST YOU DONT CLICK THIS LINK)

More info at: http://www.spyware-techie.com/how-to-remove-xponlinescannercom/

Regards to all.

Thanks for the heads up =D This's why I avoid wowhead though...it's been downhill for them since the banner virus incident lol, been using wowdb.com now, till they get bought by IGE too and start getting virused ads like everyone else =\

I dont think wowdb will be bought by IGE due it being apart of the curse network...well we can only hope.

Time for the competition commission to step in?
