The Real Sting Forum Update

4/24 UPDATE: TRS Forum is back online! Our Webmaster found nothing wrong with the site itself. HOWEVER there is still a bug in Internet Explorer attached to the site URL somehow. Netscape, Firefox, AOL etc. users have not had any problems, it's just IE. If any member is still getting the pop-ups and attempted download, I recommend using a different browser to access TRS Forum. I use Firefox and rarely have any spyware/adware issues at all.

Thanks again for your patience, hope to see you all on the forum!


Hello friends and guests,

The Real Sting Forum* will be offline until we can eliminate a virus that a hacker has attached to the site. If you go to the forum URL and are prompted to download anything, DO NOT do so! You may need to close your browser to get rid of the script pop-ups; if your screen freezes, bring up your task manager (ctrl/alt/del) then cancel running the forum and Internet Explorer.**

Also, a fraudulent email was sent to several members through TRS, with a brief message and a link. This link is the same virus attached to the forum. Please do not click any links in emails sent from TRS until further notice. For utmost caution, just don't open any emails at all that claim to be from TRS until we can eliminate the virus and get our forum going again. (The downloader/link will have the name "traffmoney.biz" in the text.)

I will post any updates here until the site is back to normal. I apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience while our forum is restored.

I'd like to know how many of you received the email and/or got the download notification when you visited the forum. Please email me at

cjupiter @ gmail. com (eliminate spaces) and tell me what happened and what internet browser you are using.

*The main site is working fine as far as I know. I didn't get any virus warnings when accessing it, only the forum.

**FireFox and NetScape users do not seem to have a problem opening the site; I believe the virus runs through Internet Explorer.

Thanks again,
~CJ
