Link that has a virus - Alicianevelle - 08-28-2019 I'd like to report a link on the AO website that is connected to a virus. After I clicked on it, it stated that a virus was being downloaded onto my computer and gave a number on the webpage for me to call AppleCare. I did not call the number on the webpage, but instead shut everything down and called AppleCare directly (it was a phony number on the webpage). AppleCare was able to verify that my computer did not download a virus, but they did state that the link had been hacked and to report it to you. Here is where I found the link: Y2 booklist footnotes 20. Little Duke Click on link for AO Advisory guide for the study guide for Little Duke at the end of the first paragraph, its the link for the online book at states: (There is a historical account of the events of this book online here). Hopefully, you'll be able to fix it soon before anyone is scammed! Thanks!

You might want to add protective software to your computer as well. My computer "ublock" prevented this link from working for me. Definitely will take it down but just for further protection for you in future. ![]() RE: Link that has a virus - LeslieNoelani - 08-28-2019 I changed the link in the study guide; this looks like the same text, but formatted a little differently, and on a different website: https://www.genealogieonline.nl/en/maximum-test/I6000000010211396295.php |
