Issue I have with gpotato fill-up freebies

Postby shi0n » June 18th, 2012, 3:25 pm

I figured I'd try it out, downloaded some cheerychicken software right from the rappelz website.
Got a serious malware REGISTERY VIRUS. :shock:
Had to download Malwarebytes to get rid of it.
Never got my gpots from that.
In addition to this, it's still available for download disguised as 7-zip free download on gpotato.
This really disgusts me, how can a pay to win game allow something that nasty for users to just bump into and get nabbed by.
You don't even need to download it, you just visit the site and you've got it.
BTW. I got it again, just from visiting that site again. Where the hell is the vote down button for really bad websites that get posted onto gpotato for gpots?
Thank you all. Thank you all so much! Feed him more!

I am going to move this to billing as it is most likely there that you should be reporting it.

Basically what you are describing is general internet surfing.

If you are getting a virus just by visiting the site, then it is probably being executed via a script that you could be blocking with a good script blocker.

I do know that gPotato has little to do with the surveys but maybe if a particular one has a report of malware associated with it then they could have it removed from the surveys available.

The surveys are run by third party though, I am sure there is some disclaimer about that somewhere.
