Warning message from Google about Talk Graphics site

**Jonopen** · 05 December 2016, 10:00 PM

See attached screenshots.

I believe this to be true because I occasionally am redirected to an other website after clicking the link in google search results.

I am also regularly being redirected lately when clicking in Google. Perhaps this is a vBulletin Solutions Inc. problem

I noticed this also..

Whenever I click to talk graphics from google I get redirected to sketchy ads and google says this site may be hacked.

Hopefully you guys/girls can get this sorted. If you guys need help PM me maybe I can help.

I have sent another heads up to Xara.

**gwpriester** · 06 December 2016, 01:01 PM

Just heard back and Xara is working on this.

Thanks guys, I have never noticed that myself. Perhaps because I keep my computer clean. OK I take that back. If I google search for Talk Graphics I get that but I mostly access this site from Speed Dual and stay logged in so I probably bypass that.

I use duckduckgo.com for my searches since it gathers no user information and does not "tailor" the search to the database they have on the visitor. Most of the links when I search for TalkGraphics are actually for TalkGraphics.com

Sheesh. I just clicked the link to TalkGraphics.com from a Google search and Malwarebytes went totally nuts. That page is sending out a s**tstream of bad stuff. I had to reboot my computer because Malwarebytes was still blocking attempts to send information after I closed the browser.

Someone at Xara NEEDS to report that site to Google.

Hi Guys, a little update...

I've tracked down the holes in the vBulletin software and patched them with the latest version. I've also cleaned out the database of the horrid code that was doing the site redirections. Google have been notified of the fix and hopefully they will remove the message soon. Apologies for the delay in getting this sorted.
