Intact Earnings Affiliate Network plus Virus Scan Alert
I signed up to promote one publisher (Vista Print .ca) with intactearnings.com. When I login to the site and try to view some of the publishers website links to join programs, I get a scary looking Virus Alert page that refused to let me exit the page, or go on the to publisher's page that I was trying to access. It tells me my computer is infected with a trojan whatever.
However, my computer is a Mac and I don't even have any of these programs on it. Also, my antivirus software is up-to-date and my computer, to the best of my knowledge, is clean.
Here is the url that comes up in the browser location bar:
http://smart-3-antispyware.com/scn1/...MjQwMY0NaA%3DN
It looks like this site has since been identified as an attack site.
How do these things get in to what seems to be legitimate affiliate sites?
How do you protect yourself from them?
The program wanted me to download a .exe file (as IF this would ever happen - being a Mac user) but it was a scary episode.
But how would anyone know if this was a legitimate concern or not?
