Subject: Possible Virus Link on Website
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just as an FYI:
This is my first time visiting your website, and I encountered something that
appears to be a virus link. Or malware link. Whichever term you prefer.
Under the FAQs, in the "Miscellaneous" section and in answer to the question
"What other ways can I get involved with other Lone Wolf fans", there is a link
to the forums that does not link to the forums. The link at the top of the page
on the navigation bar and other links I've found are correct, because they lead
to an actual forum under the subdomain of proboards dot com. The one in
question, however, links to a subdomain of proboards30 dot com and insists that
you pass a "security check" by installing a Chrome browser extension. It says
that it will give you a safer browsing experience by changing your default
search provider. Yeah, I don't think so. This inescapable roadblock appeared no
matter how many times I refreshed the page or opened the page anew, and it
struck me as suspicious.
The proper forum links do not include this requirement. This is a security risk
to anyone who visits your website, and I thought you should get a heads up
about it. Best to change it before it causes any damage.
Thank you for your time. Have a nice day.
