My AVG registers some of the ads here as containing possible phishing viruses, so that is probably what your McAfee is picking up on.

i am still unable to get about the file mylot.exe which is mentioned there in the result?
do any one know it , the adviser says that it adds toolbar or something like it , and it has changed some of the registry keys...

Have you got Ccleaner, if you do scan for registry issues,
That takes about 5 seconds and you will know for sure, I think, lol.

MyLot has had some problems with security lately. It's not a bug that's for sure to me. It is a hack I think. Looks like hackers injected something. Not sure though.


myLot reputation of 93/100. dholey (946)   ranked 2,300 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  3 years ago

thats sure for my side too, its a hack , but harmful for all of us , i started this topic so mylot will check and take care for it ....

I use AVG and Spybot and I have never had any such warnings nor even had a threat from here when I scan before I log off every night
I have never used McAfee but I have read some people saying its not the best
But the way I see it is this place has been around a long time and if there were unwanted nasties on here people wouldnt be using this place like they do
I tried to get onto Pickjack the other day and my puter told me it was an attack site, lol,
So I know not to go there, but this place is safe enough, my husband said so, good enough for me
Maybe you should scan and see if there is anything amiss, I dont know enough about these techy things really to know what to say for sure.

i am trying to find out , and i want to make it noticeable to mylot team , so they can remove it .
thanks for comment

I have had the same thing with mcAfee today,but i was watching the mid day news today and there has been a lot of complaints of this kind,it turned out it is a new scam,if you click on it the hackers ask you to pay to get this fixed due to this they have all your details,just to be on the safe side dont touch it

Thanks for the heads up! I'm not to worried about it and I'm sure others aren't either, we normally don't download anything form this site. at least I never have in the 14 months I've been here. Plus I have a great system for catching those pesky things. I used to use Mcafee and got that kind of stuff all the time so I got rid of it! It was annoying and I went to other spyware free programs and haven't had a problem in over 10 years, I'm a power user and just lucky I guess! You might want to send a copy to the admin here, See what they say LOL! if anything they don't usually respond to much here! Good Luck! wink tdemex


myLot reputation of 93/100. dholey (946)   ranked 2,300 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  3 years ago

thanks for your time , but the thing is ... it is not about downloading any thing from here , the problem may be sending your personal information to some one else which may lead us to the problem, i am also very old member of mylot, and today first time i saw this problem , hope it will be taken care by mylot team...


myLot reputation of 86/100. tdemex (2225)   ranked 1,327 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  3 years ago

In order for an EXE. file to execute it has to be downloaded on my computer! Right? I don't have anything here that I worry about! LOL! Mylot is all over the net anyway, I see it come up on searches all the time! But as I said thanks for the heads up! T---

I use Avira, but that's doesn't show me any warning from the site. The AV work fine with some compress or exe files, and I guess nothing to worry probably need to re-diagnostic.


myLot reputation of 93/100. dholey (946)   ranked 2,300 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  3 years ago

still the mcAfee is in yellow color, i am still in search on this topic ,
