Avast showing malware pop ups on tractorbynet

[777777]

Seems like everytime I come to tractorbynet, I get persistent malware popup warnings regarding qwiskinc.com and\or malware warning for HTML:SCRIPT.INF

Is there something going on ?

Haven't gotten any other reports. Just did a sweep and found nothing.

Young feller at work put Avast on a bunch of the POS (point of sale) PC's. I hate it and had to dump it from one PC to be able to download price files from DIS. I'm not a fan.

Download Malwarebytes, it's a free antivirus.
Works very well.
Just don't D/L from CNET, they'll dump all kinds of cr*p onto your computer.
I'm using Bitdefender this year, so far, so good...

That's one of the two programs the DIS tech recommended I use, and did install after figuring out Avast had to go. I don't know its running which is the best review I can give on any antivirus/antimalware, etc.

I had same problem two days ago (also use Avast). I do think I was entering the forum through a google search if that makes a difference.

Will do some further diagnostics. Thanks for the report.

Let me know if this happens again for you guys. Thanks!

Has stopped for me now. I also just google my way in rather than use a bookmark.

Run malwarebytes daily, do AV scan daily and run ccleaner daily so fairly confident nothing at my end.

Thanks for your prompt attention.

One of the other forums that I visit has had problems with short url's if coming to the site through google.
