Post by jjttdw »

I'be gotten a few warnings tonight from my antivirus software about when visiting thegiant.org. Is anyone else getting the same?

It most likely had to do with the google ads and not the website itself

Yeah, actually a few months ago, someone was using this site to route some nasty webtraffic. If you did some weird search for thegiant.org and xyz, it would take you elseware.

Ive been watching it after I cleaned it out, and so far so good.

I made sure to change the passwords and all.

But google takes a while before you get that trust back.


Sorry guys!
