    Default accessorygeeks.com bad?

    I can't access accessorygeeks.com

    I looked through the hosts file, and see that SpyBot added line for accessorygeeks.com and www.accessorygeeks.com
    it also added both to Restricted Sites in Internet Explorer.

    Just curious as to why...?

    I ordered from them before, albeit a year or so ago. Just curious why it's a "bad site"

    j-sta:

    Good question. McAfee SiteAdvisor doesn't seem to have a problem with the site. From McAfee SiteAdvisor:

    accessorygeeks.com

    We tested this site and didn't find any significant problems.

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.

    yeah, like I said.. I ordered there before.
    It's a legitimate site that runs their online shop via Yahoo.

    SpyBot has blocked via hosts file:
    accessorygeeks.com
    www.accessorygeeks.com
    site.accessorygeeks.com

    SpyBot added to IE Restricted Sites list:
    accessorygeeks.com
    www.accessorygeeks.com
    site.accessorygeeks.com


    I have removed all lines from the hosts file and restricted sites list, but still cannot get to the website.
    When pinging, I am now actually hitting the IP address, instead of 127.0.0.1.
    But when attempting to open the page via IE, it does absolutely nothing.

    I'm going to try FireFox here in a min, don't believe I currently have it installed.

    But I would say it should be removed because it is a legitimate site

    Exclamation

    I've just tried to access the site in question and Spybot says it is a source of VirtuMonde.
    If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    really?
    interesting.

    I haven't been infected by the site.
