cheater or Not
 

Hi I hate to have to do this here but for the last 2-3 weeks I have been going through my own tgp's after cleaning my history and cookies and files from my browser to see if any of the galleries submitted are changing cause I heard there are galleries that if they see you come from the gallery admin or trade script that it will show a clean gallery but to the everyday surfer it will foward you to what ever they choose anyways I have been finding a few submitters a day and normally I would be very happy but now I am woundering if maybe I don't have a virus becuase some of the submitters have been partners with my sites for years and as far as I know are not cheaters so I would was woundering if anyone here can check this gallery

http://www.samplevidz.com/939ql/ttty..._dia30945.html and let me know if this gallery is fowarding you are not and if not maybe some one here knows which virus I have that makes only certian domains are galleries foward on my browser to crappy sites and pop ups any help is much appreciated

Thanks
Miguel

ban them

I am asking here if anyone else is getting a foward from this gallery becuase if they aren't then maybe it is not his gallery but my computer I just want to make sure I have blacklisted already a few that I was sure were trusted submitters

its not your computer

yeah..... i agree to skinnay ban them....

anyone got a suggestion for the very best spyware remover and prevention programs

If your defenses weren't up, you've been had.

The "gallery" uses exploit.HTML.Hmt

Can't tell you the number of times I've had to clean my PC and in somecases rebuild it as a result of checking galleries. Nothing is as good for bookmarks as hijacking the surfers PC.

If I list all my defenses, then someone will be sure to find a way to fuck with me. This has happened before on GFY. My black list has grown over the last few months.

There are some tools you can be using if not doing so already. They include:
Spybot
Hijackthis
Very good antivirus software (Kaspersky comes to mind)
Anti Hijacking software and/or firewall (MS by itelf is NOT enough)
You need to be behind a hardware firewall in addition to a software firewall
All firewalls should be operating in stealth mode.
Stay upto date on all MS patches.
Look at code in galleries. Do random checks after the approval process.

Check your trades for malware, they may not be aware they have it. Check deep into you trading partners site. Esp sponsor ads. If you find malware on entering the site, you of course have to delete the trade. If it is a friend - communicate.

Autoscan your galleries every day. If you have a large number, just scan the galleries on your site or a different category every scan. Scannig can eat a ton of time.

Don't accept galleries with javascript.

Setup a PC just for reviewing galleries.

Have more than one PC to get out of jams. Those PCs should be able to look at galleries with with IE, FireFox and AOL. An apple computer in the invironment wouldn't hurt.

Can't trust partners or sponsors 100%. So you have to check as much as you can as often as you can and they are still gonna get ya.

Good luck. Don't know if that helped any??

Yes it helped Thanks. also gave me a new idea ;)

that sucks bro
