ESF and Spyware

[Deman]

wierd, this is where I'm taken when I click the links

 

[Zeonix]

It took me to hl2files when I tried it. What browsers are the people who get taken to zango using? Or maybe it's a "1/10 clicks takes you to zango" type thing.

Firefox 2.

This is what I get, it brings to to Zango's EULA, then if i press Start, itll bring up the Setup.Exe for me to install the spyware.

I use vista, and internet explorer.. it comes up with this everytime I press it

 

[Zeonix]

So far:

IE and FF2 - Bad

FF3- Good

 

[Kaination]

How do you think firefox 3 gets passed it?

True, but it's still underhandedness on Zango's part. It's weird that if you're more updated you get a legit page.

I'm thinking FF3 has better protection against that kind of thing.

I've emailed godaddy about it. Seems they are hosting the domain.

 

[Renyori]

Alright, so now i tried IE with HIGH security settings, and it brought me to that gray LEGIT page, weird.

I think if you installed that Zango thingy, it would bring you to that gray page as well, then stupid people would try installing the HL2 demo and ESF123 mod just to realize they don't work together and that they now are stuck with Zango on their comp.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for contacting the GoDaddy.com Spam and Abuse Department.

We are not the hosting provider for this site. We are the domain name registrar only. We have neither access to, nor jurisdiction over the content on this site.

The web hosting provider for this website is the company responsible for policing any content that appears on this site. You can discover the identity of the hosting provider by performing a "WhoIS" lookup on the domain name in question. The results of your search will reveal both the domain name registrar and the name servers for the domain name. A "WhoIS" search on these name servers will reveal the web hosting provider where the domain name's website resides. Please submit your complaint to this company based on their AUP.

Whohoo, and they are using "Domains By Proxy" to protect the whois information, thus I contacted Domains By Proxy about it to no longer protect them. I think they'll help because they mentioned this on the site:

<- Firefox 3

HL2Files links for meh.

 

[SS4 Gogeta]

Opera 9.50 = grey page

 

[Spunky]

Wow, who uses Opera? No wonder you get a grey page, nobody cares about Opera.

 

[sub]

I like Opera. I like Firefox 3 more, but if that didn't exist, I'd be using Opera.

 

[Tenzo]

I used to use Opera but it was like virus magnet for me....so i switched to firefox!

 

[killersquad]

i merely meant to bring this to the communities attention, seeing as how i played ESF in what seems like ages ago. I now do software engineering and i can say its very easy for me to script malice code, and fit into an already existing .exe file. Not meant to scare anyone but zangos done some messed up things and driven some services/products into the dirt.

 

[Grega]

Well on another forum someone came complaining that he didnt know how to install ESF thinking it was dragonball onliune since he got all his onformation from that site.

 

[Darth Revan]
