A new reason to avoid Deere

its a redirect technique; it obscures the actual host protocol and you end up at a **** site, or some other popup/nefarious site. Still stands that if a link has HXXP or H??P, don't click it unless you know the origin. No commercial vendors are using the HXXP as a link to their sites; they are explicit: HTTP or HTTPS.

Maybe it was just a Deere tick? I hear you catch stuff from them.

That's it! Those darn Deere ticks must be as BAD as those other deer ticks causing infections and a computer virus.

But no reason to avoid J. Deere tractors.

I get no virus warning when I go there. OF course I have all ads blocked so if there was something malicious in some ad code I would not see it. There are extensions for all major browsers that will block advertisements. I did it first because too many sites were using pop ups or pop overs or auto play video with SOUND. Just too annoying. Sites load faster and less chance of getting a virus.

Well, I just 'threw myself on this grenade" and visited the JD website... yes, the US one.

Everything is fine, no alerts from my 'Panda' security.

I appreciate the warning, though.

So, what exactly were all of the other old reasons to avoid Deere?

Awesome, just awesome. I endangered myself today as well as my employers computer network... fingers crossed.

The title of this thread is like click-bait. And I fell for it and read the entire thread. I want to say the only winner here is Bud Soda.

I didn't need any other reasons to avoid a John Deere, LOL.

Same.
