Gday people be careful with this one but im wondering if someone out there who knows a bit more about computers than the average person can tell me whats going on with the boats online website it seems like it has been hijacked or something?
Ive got the paid for avg and its not even letting me get close but its rather annoying as im trying to show someone a boat i seen on there few days ago.
P.s. DONT try unless u have decent virus protection..
Cheers

Be careful
Have been on the site looking and then a pop up comes on telling me that i need to install/download antivrus as a worm has been detected. Luckily its on the work laptop so IT sorted it out (after running two programmes on it). They told me it was a virus trying to hack into my system.That was yesterday.
Went to show one of the other guys a boat today and he had same issue so they are running anti virus on his . So it looks like is is the site.
Happened when i got into the site and tried to actually go through the search menu.

Yeah issues here
as happy hooker stated above on the work computer but i couldnt even get into it on mine this morning with avg.
although just tried again then and no dramas? but if anybody doesnt have good antivirus protection i would stay away from the site for a few days until hopefully it gets fixed?
till

Yeah I saw all that
Yeah I saw all that yesterday too. I dount anyone will admit it, but it looked like it had some kind of viral payload on it, and then they dscked up their front page template as well.
