The Underdogs Web site -- EVIL!!!

mrskippy · 04-06-2003, 03:46 PM

Went to that site and what did it do ... it just randomly installed spyware onto my computer ... four things called WeaterCast, ClockSync, Save, and Xupiter. And they're all made by those spyware gods WhenU.

Running AdAware now to get rid of this crap. But this want to warn everyone. Ugh!!!

For the record ... I've mainly used The Underdogs to get linked up to freeware adventure games, fan-made ones in the spirit of old Sierra or LucasArts classics.

Wow, surprised that happened, I used to go there quite a bit, haven't gone in quite a while though.

Owner didn't seem like the type that would do that sorta thing.

I'm not sure if its the owner or the company he has supply his advertising (pop-ups). Perhaps I should drop him an e-mail.

tucker342 · 04-06-2003, 04:08 PM

Really? I use Underdogs all the time, and I don't think that has ever happened...

Maybe you just forgot to put on your tinfoil hat.

sachmo71 · 04-06-2003, 04:38 PM

Maybe the guy who runs it is a liberal? Or a PROTESTER? OR A SINNER-PROTESTER?

Maybe the webmaster is really Osama bin Laden and this is that attack he promised would come if we attacked Iraq.

I just went there the other day and nothing happened. Did you click "OK" to any of the popups?

KWhit · 04-06-2003, 04:46 PM

Dola - The underdogs is not evil; it ROCKS!

I just got System Shock 2 from there. What a great game.

mrskippy · 04-06-2003, 04:46 PM

Not sure why. I didn't click any of the pop-ups. I'll try again and see what happens later ... since I know AdAware will kill the bugs.

I think the problem exists somewhere between the keyboard and chair.
