Default Was it the HAF, or was it me?

Has anyone else had trouble getting into the HAF over the last several days? I've tried repeatedly to do that and I've gotten nowhere. Was it a problem withthe HAF, or was it me?

Yeah, my Mac could load it with a bunch of random script everywhere, but the PC at work couldn't. It actually happened twice, to my knowledge.

Not sure exactly what was wrong with the site, but I suspect the site was compromised. I was getting a whole bunch of virus alerts when I tried to visit the site.

I was like WTF IS GOING ON. Of course, the time the page is fixed I dont have time to get my "fix" of HAF[8D].

I could see the main page with tons of script all over the place, and I too was attacked by virus'.

So I downloaded AVG and it found tons of trojans and and all sorts of malware.

I HIGHLY suggest that anyone who tried to access HAF, shoulddownload AVG (Go to download.com and search for AVG. It is free, spyware free, and one of the best programs) for free and do a scan and removal of adware, trojans, virus', and tracking cookies.

Yeah, AVG is def the best thing out there. I use it as my primary virus protection. I got a whole bunch of script when I tried to visit the site, but saw nothing about any viruses...

you will not get a virus from visiting haf. thats not the way those things work.

it was problem with some script syntax and someone editing the code/some upgrades forgot to end a quote or a stick a semicolon somewhere, thus much script was output as text. nothing too major.
