Hi Guys,
I noticed on your torrent sites list that mininova was your 3rd best site listed.
for the last 2 weeks mininova has been having trouble with they're site and was not available much of the time.
Then on Dec.24 I tried opening mininova's site and my Microsoft Live One Care AV flagged the site as having 2 trojans(1 was a keylogger), 1 spyware, and 1 malware and recommended I not open the site. But my browser was already opening mininova's site and when the site came up, instantly a file called install.exe popped up (of course the choices are "run", "save", or "cancel", and I chose cancel.
I suppose this requires further investigation. but I haven't went to mininova's site since this occured. I don't want to bad mouth any companies, but I know this did occur from they're site. Live One Care AV is quite specific and I trust this AV software over all others. I sure would like to know what this was about before I try opening mininova's site again. Don't want any keyloggers or malware.
Just thought I would mention it in case any one would like to know.
Thanks.

It's not mininova that's doing it, its one of their banner ads. Install Firefox and Avast, and you won't have to worry at all. MS products are a lot more concerned in restricting you from doing something hazardous than just keeping the hazard away from you. The fact that the "install.exe" even showed up just goes to show how shitty Internet Explorer is.
That is all unless you are a spambot (we have massive bot issues here), trying to keep people away from mininova for some reason... if that's the case, then feck off.
