WTH is this?

[Wasch_24]

I clicked download and I continue to get this:​

​

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Cigar Weekly is moving to a new server. If you want to view the new site early, you can download our special client that will update your settings and take you there. Otherwise you'll have to wait up to one week for the DNS changes to propagate over the internet. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. [/font]

Says "Temporary Difficulties" when I try to get in...

 

[Wasch_24]

Temporary difficulties... please stand by

Cigar Weekly is NOT moving servers. If you downloaded the exe file DO NOT RUN IT. That file may well contain a virus. We are looking into the issue.

I'm pissed I already fucking downloaded and ran the file!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the same message as Todd.

 

[Jwrussell]

Whoops! Did it do anything?

 

[Wasch_24]

No not yet. The only, and I mean only, reason I ran it is because I trusted that site.

 

[Jwrussell]

Sites get hacked man, I wouldn't be too quick to blame them...They seem to have jumped on it quickly.

They do seem to be under attack alot lately though...

 

[Garnivore]

I got the same message but didn't download or run the file. Ironically, I didn't download or run for the same reason as Todd. I trust the site and hadn't seen anything about having to download a file. I figured they would have given us a warning or heads-up if they were going to do something like that.

 

[Wasch_24]

Oh, I'm not jmping on them. I didn't mean for my post to come across that way. I could have sworn I saw a post about them upgrading to faster servers soon. Maybe it was another of the up-teen boards I peruse daily. Oh well, time will tell if I F'ed anything up.

I hope no one else click that hypertext link you have listed above. The .exe is still active within it...

Um... I guess it isn't... whew!

 

[Embers]

Someone is up to no good. It didn't try to download when I tried going there, it would be interesting to see what the file contains and what the payload is if any.

Did you try scanning it with an online virus scanner, since your local AV didn't pick anything up?

 

[Dr. Evil]

CW got hacked. Admin is dealing with it.

 

[xrundog]

Says it MAY contain a virus. You would probably know by now. Ya got your virus definitions up to date?

 

[Garnivore]

Remember that e-mail a bunch of us got 2-3 weeks ago about that Vbulletin toolbox thing. I think you were supposed to be able to take down bulletin boards and forums with that. It's unfortunate that there's been so much of it going on lately.

Thanks for the insight Dr. Obvious.

I'm trying to help. I was going to tell you to run a virus scan, but now I think I'll just let your hard drive sound like a yeti.

 

[jckposter]

It was called client.exe

Can you point me towards an online scanner.

Thanks for the insight Dr. Obvious.

Edit: Just saw xrundogs' post. Nothing yet, my anti-virus s/w just updated on Thursday or Friday.

Okay thats about enough of being a dick for one day ...He just tryed to help....Give it a F#$@%@ rest.....

 

[chipslave]

Thanks for the insight Dr. Obvious.

Damn dude...

I think he was just trying to help. I understand you are probably under duress but no need to be uncivilized...

 

[Wasch_24]

No thanks Jeff. Everything is fine here so far. You were stating the obvious though.

Well... if it was so obvious then why would you run it?
