It seems to have been fixed, thanks. Do you know if this was trojan or some kind of virus that invaded our computers? Is there anything we need to do to our computers? The reason I ask is it seems all of our virus protection programs sounded alarms indicating our computers were being attacked.

Also, your announcement at the top of the page makes it sound like one of FTE's advertisers stuck some malicious coding into their ad, at least I consider it malicious, it sure was a royal PIA. If so I would like to know so I know to steer away from this advertiser. I mentioned earlier that I thought it was Megastore, which after I mentioned it I no longer saw their ad. If I don't hear different I will assume it was them.

Again, thank the IT guys at FTE for fixing the problem.

I'm glad to see that this issue has been taken care of. My security system lit up last night and again this morning when I opened the site and at first I thought that maybe it was a delayed alert from another site, but no it was FTE with a trojan warning. I never had a pop up but I have them blocked anyway.

I had decided I would check one more time and if I still got the warning then I was going away and not come back. Anyway, good to see that it is apparently fixed.

Doesn`t appear to be that way, not harmful, just annoying.

I agree, please let us know what advertiser it was as so I'll know where NOT to spend my money.

IT guys, thanks for being on top of it

So far all that`s known is that is someone found a broken window in the back door, snuck in, and played a practical joke on us. FTE found the entry point, and it is now closed.
A good idea to run a scan and clear the added cookies from the two sites.
