Not trying to promote another forum - but wanted to warn those of you who also frequent BSG that there is a Trojan virus that hits you when opening up their forums. Keep away for a while.

What's the fix?

BTW, I use Mozilla and have had no problems from my home computer.

You're OK if you use Fire Fox. Alot of people don't like that site, it was only a matter of time until this happened.

You've said that on more than one occasion. Care to explain and bad dealings? Just curious.

Personally, I've never dealt with him but you've said that on more than one occasion. Care to explain any bad dealings? Just curious.

Meh, I really like the site.

There are some SERIOUS club hoes and great deals in the BST forum to go along with them. Great place to buy used high end equipment. :D

I agree that the tour vs retail thing gets a little tired and getting banned is ridiculously easy, but if you can sort through it all there's a mountain of information in there. Any time I'm looking for any equipment information, tour or retail, BSG is my first stop and the majority of the time I leave with more info than I was looking for.

I'll say one thing, the way Todd built his business is sheer genius. His forums generate all they hype necessary to pad his pockets very well. He caters to a specific market and does it well.

Exactly!

As long as you can wade through all of the hype, there is a LOT of great equipment information to be found there.

What sort of virus? Is this a new kind of delivery mechanism? Any details would be appreciated.

I use firefox for just about everything because of all the junk my computer picks up from using IE. Seriously, everything Microsoft has a huge bullseye on it.

Would love to hear details about "Todd" on BSG because I've never dealt with him personally. So far, I like their forum and the wealth of info there. Just like any board, there are a few bad eggs. Of all the forums I frequent, I would say they are the 2nd best around - TGN is No.1

I did some checking around it it was simply some malformed javascript. If someone can prove me wrong that indeed it was a trojan horse.

BladeNV

I didn't notice any trojan either and just something with the javascript. But there were reports a week or two back about a virus or something. It might be they are two completely irrelevant events.
