So What's Up with the Memtest86 Website? (RESOLVED)
« on: October 26, 2013, 06:26:37 PM »
Last night I went to check out the changelog of the lastest Memtest86 update and got some message about Redirecting / E-mail Spoofing or something.  It's still doing it this morning.

hxxp://pcsupport.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=pcsupport&cdn=compute&tm=64&f=00&su=p504.6.342.ip_&tt=4&bt=0&bts=4&zu=http%3A//www.memtest86.com/

I don't know if that link would be considered dangerous, so I modified the "http" just in case.
I ran an avast full scan last night after having been there and No Threat was found.

I guess if it WAS dangerous ... the avast Autosandbox would have been activated?  Or not?

O --- Kay.  I'll at the very least stay away from there for a while.
I can download the latest update at MajorGeeks.

I've been to that Memtest86 website before and it had been OK then.
