I just went on Gunbroker and got the same Norton alert as Pete. Must be some problem. Left immediately.
I'll leave all those great new parker deals to you guys who didn't get the alert. There may still be money in your accounts to pay for them after the hackers get done with ya. Bob Jurewicz |

I gave it a try and Norton pointed out 6 threats, all pictures. If you don't use Norton, these are the pictures that it ID'd as a threat:
Threats found: 6 Here is a complete list of files to avoid (I stripped of www.gunbroker.com/ from the location so you can't follow these links accidentally): Threat Name: HTTP Suspicious Executable Image Download location: GB/139249000/139249204/pix1192940609.jpg location: GB/139554000/139554837/pix1131980250.jpg location: GB/139249000/139249204/pix119249204.jpg location: GB/140403000/140403224/pix709971187.jpg location: GB/139848000/139848334/pix191238328.jpg location: GB/140114000/140114538/pix450490484.jpg Last edited by Robin Lewis; 02-12-2010 at 12:47 PM.. |

It appears to be fixed. Norton now gives the green check mark for the site.

Norton firewalled- best $ you can ever spend.
When my daughter set up this Dell computer thing, she got the Norton anti-virus-- I still see junk mail in that denoted folder, lotsa strange "ladies" want me to see their fotos, etc--I just hit the old Cancel button and away it goes into the T.S. Eliot Wasteland I guess-
Another daughter and her husband got a wireless Dell computer laptop thing, they didn't opt for the anti-virus protection or Spam filtering, and Geoff got zapped on both E-Bay and the Gun brokerage web sites- cost them $ to have their unit "de-bugged"- and he also got hit with E-Bay fraud on that PayPally gizmo- they got his bank account and routing numer-- Big FUBAR. Being an old fashioned "Luddite" I suppose, I would take my few Parkers etc. to the scrap yard and let them cut the barrels with the "gas axe" before I would ever trade on any of those websites-too many risks for my $-- |
