Fake App Attack upon opening SpanishDict.com

Question

Is anybody else experiencing a fake app attack upon opening Spanish Dict? It is caught by my virus protection, but only happens with this site. None others. Thanks.

Haven`t noticed anything. - Lise-Laroche, Aug 11, 2012

Hi Don José. This is the same one that was on a thread a week or so ago. It did happen to me. DJ didn't think it was from this site though. - 0095ca4c, Aug 11, 2012

Answer 1

Many times I get a notice that there are viruses on my computer especially when I link from my email to this site. I immediately close the tab. This is very annoying. I don't know why the site does not block this intrusion. It even started downloading something today. If it continues, I may have to abandon this site all together. Not that that would be a great loss either to you or me.

I do however recommend this site to those I meet who want a place to study / learn Spanish.

All blessings.

I opened SD yesterday and it was covered in smiley faces. Happened 2 or 3 times, but it hasn't happened since.

You don't think it's related to that (L)SD from anoche? - yahvey_hoffman, Aug 11, 2012

What is the (L) you refer to yahvey? - 0095ca4c, Aug 11, 2012
