Do not use torrentreactor: hijacked

[Malicious Intent]

Torrentreactor has been hijacked It tries to install a load of crap on users' PCs.

torrentreactor.to is claiming to be the replacement until .net is working again. However, that page loaded automatically, so I dont trust it.

If you have been to torrentreactor recently, update your virus and spyware scanners and check your system.

Adwatch blocked a load of crap from mine. I'm now scanning to see what did get through, as it is still detecting registry modifications.

Thanks for the info MI. That really blows

[Malicious Intent]

AVG didn't find any viruses (does it ever?)

Ad-aware - 82 critical objects (registry and processes) and counting.

[Malicious Intent]

154 objects found by Ad-aware :(

S+D has just found another 23.

[Malicious Intent]

Great - S+D crashes when i try to uninstall it.

Crongrads to the script kiddies who did this. You have pissed me off. Happy now? Has it made your acne go away? Have you got a girlfriend thanks to screwing up my computer?

GRRR

if you are going to go to dodgy websites, use firefox, or at the very least disable activex in IE

bittorrent sites and link sites are 80% dodgy

[MushroomheadXIII]

Yes, i noticed it several days ago...but i use 'the fox' so no problems...normal mozilla (better than fox) also blocks that shit. Also, all my friends who use ie and go to crack sites always complain bla bla bla spyware, i tell em firefox blocks it and they go bullshit. They say everyone else uses ie, and i say theyre stupid, they go; 'well they know lots more about computers', it's no use trying to convince dumbasses.

[Mels_Smileys45]

Had to reformat my harddrive after something like that happened to me from a BT site using IE. That was about 6 months ago. I've been using Firefox ever since and everythings peachy.

you what's really funny?

torrentreactor.net worked just fine for me, with no negative repercussions

time to dump IE! if you don't, i will point and laugh at you

[ratbag]

my god world internet explorer? anyone who still uses it for anything but windows updates should be whipped

[Malicious Intent]

Thats the worst part. I use FF, but I am relatively new. The links down the side at TR weren't working properly. I'm really struggling to come to terms with the lack of compatiblity provided by FF.

When TR didn't load properly, I loaded it in IE instead. BAM - I was ****ed.

If I cant find a solution soon, then I will have to reformat as Mel said.

Anyway, enough of the praising FF. How about some suggestions or at least sympathy?

have you poked it with bhodemon?

Try this url. http://www.torrentreactor.to

As far as I can tell thats the REAL torrentreactor. Torrentreactor.net is a fake.

[black_magiic]

I was having difficulties with it earlier but .to seems to work ok

[Brycen257]

None90810 is correct about torrentreactor. I have been using the torrentreactor.to site and everything works fine. It does appear to be the genuine torrentreactor site. I use Firefox as well (who in their right mind would browse the net using Internet explorer these days ) .
