Amigans Website fraudulent/malicious?

I am travelling away from home at the moment using a friends laptop which hs Vista installed. I know I should choose my friends more carefully!

Anyway I went to access the Amigans website and Vista Explorer warned me that the Amigans.net was a known phising site. I ignored that warning then it informed me it was a fraudulent site or sometning similar and was I really sure i wanted to enter.

Then it warned me of malicious content.

Eventually It let me access the website.

I presume this is usual Microsoft rubbish or has there been some problems?

Vista explorer? I think you mean Internet Explorer and it does work fine in that too. I run Vista Ultimate 64bit here.

Try using Firefox.

Sorry I used the term Vista Explorer to differentiate from on earlier versions of Internet Explorer. Not my Laptop or I would install FireFox.

How dare he navigate AWAY potential interested parties from the GREATEST OS there ever WAS!


I guess bill gates has done his homework and regards this site as the anti-christ (to him).

Probably just some grown up person(s) who think that Amigans.net is "the EVIL" and has reported it somewhere. Bit like some other grownups who just happened to register amigans.* domains that pointed elsewhere when we went public.

@orgin

I am just curious, was Trevor Dick's incident a one off? Can anyone here replicate what happened to our man Trev?

Thanks

It's certainly a different problem... But I couldn't connect to OS4Depot this weekend (and in fact also to Amigans.net though this didn't lasted long)

Pipex, the company that owns the company (1-2-3reg) that holds the DNS entries for those sites, had some 'technical' issues for a few days, resulting in that thousands of DNS entries were removed from half or so of the global internet DNS system before they could correct the problem.

Bit rich coming from a company that offers a virus containing an OS-:)

@Mikey_C
Amigans.net is *not* a reported phishing site, according to Internet Explorer 7 (under XP).

I'd suggest that TrevorDick had gone to (or been redirected to) a fake site masquarading as Amigans.net . If redirected, it could have been by something nasty changing the DNS server he uses, or else some other DNS problem on the internet.

A bit wierd anyway.
