Warning on Fangoria!

[The Wizard]

BEWARE OF FANGORIA!


Fangoria, the magazine that infected me with a love of horror from the age of five on up, is now infecting my computer with spyware. Several times I go to fangoria.com, I get hit by a browser-hijacking full screen ad for antivirus that redirects from Fango's main page usually as soon as I visit, but resizes the window, produces a litany of pop-ups asking me to install virus software. And you just know the software is the virus itself. I am gobsmacked I even have to face this... I have what, 3 running programs on my PC to stop shit like this and these have been confirmed as malicious system entry attempts, by my software. Thanks Fangoria. You used to sell ad space in your magazines that we could just flip past if it wasn't our thing, and now you indulge in desperate attempts to make your website a moneymaking venture instead of an ancillary companion to your publication.

I heard the same thing also they are HiJacking peoples pc which is sad. If they ever did that to me I would beat the hell out of them.

I just buy the mags,I don't go the web site.

I heard about this too. Alot of people aren't going to their site any more. It's stupid that they would do that to people that visit their site. Their Magazine is good but I still think Rue Morgue is alot better now. Fangoria is going down hill.

I've never heard of that one.
