Title: Receiving a virus message from Avast when navigating through TS.com
Post by: bucsab12 on August 19, 2010, 08:53:25 AM
For the last two days, I started receiving the following message from my Avast anti-virus when navigating through TS.com:

"Network Shield: blocked access to malicious site theredirecting.info//index.php?s=81bb85a3611e85706bd0ff8efbfc3a27"

It have never happened to me before and I wanted to know if I am the only one who is seeing this message or a similar one?

Here are a few sites that I found that are discussing this virus on the internet:

http://www.freepcsecurity.co.uk/

I am sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, I wasn't sure where this should go.

This just started happening yesterday.  Bri (the admin) is aware of the issue and hopefully will resolve swiftly.  Another thread here:  http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=138483.0
