Does your computer become infected after visiting ICM? - Computers - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

01-26-2011, 12:58 AM

Everytime I come to icmag malicious software is loaded onto my computer...and everytime I leave I have to scan for and remove these unwanted bugs from my system. For a little over two weeks now this has happened everytime I log onto ICM. It's making my computer ssslllooowww...

If anyone knows what the f*#% is going on I would like to hear about it.

Icmag isnt the culprit, but go download and install Malwarebytes IMMEDIATELY!!!!!

i seriously doubt that icmag.com has anything to do with it.

i hope i am correct.

I can remove the adware crap and come back here one time and it's back. If I remove it and go to other sites no problem. I've spent some time investigating this and I wouldn't have started the thread if I wasn't sure where the adware is coming from here.

Specifically what adware? What are you using to detect and remove it? It's clearly not a universal problem, there must be additional factors involved.

What browser and version are you using and are you running any tool bars in the browser? Some tool bars connect to sites and ad adware crap to your system. Listing specifically what it is being loaded onto your system would help also. I have never had an issue with IC.
