Title: RUMOR THAT WEBSHOTS USERS MAY HAVE BEEN INFECTED WITH PUTER'VIRUS?
Post by: Shultzie on January 17, 2010, 12:38:52 PM

I HOPE THIS IS JUST A RUMOR AND JUST BAD INFO PRESS!!! VD~ S?P

Not to alarm anyone...but on my Gone with the Wind Kites forum website.... www.gwtwforum.com/index.php?topic=2372.0
where they have a discussion about the really alarming news that WEBSHOTS...(Webshits') that I have been using for the past few years...
now is infecting many of its Window XP customers?

I wonder if I can retrieve all my photos onto (say my WD external hard drive without damage?)
GADS!!!

   I hope you haven't picked up a virus! I don't know anything about webshots, but this is one of the many reasons i am using a linux based operating system. Less problems with pesky viruses.

Some of the webshot sites do contain trojan horses; not sure exactly what they are or what they do. I did read some of the comment about sites and most people complained of excessive ads and blank pages.

I just googled "webshot virus" and it returned loads of stuff.

Yet another reason I'm glad I use Linux. Not a panacea and I certainly have occasional problems, but it's a far cry for the deluge Windows users get.
