| Nope I have had no problems with manga fox. I think those trojans you had were already there it was just a matter of time before they automatically downloaded some other malicious software that killed your system you just happened to be on manga fox at the time. Thats just how I think your problem occured. |
| it doesn't seem like it. maybe you just accidentally clicked an ad. |
| Never had a problem with mangafox. |
 |
| Well I didn't get viruses, but me and my friend experienced a problem where we would be redirected to porn sites. I don't know if it's related to viruses though...you should email the moderator or admin or whoever is in charge. |

| happens to me ALL THE TIME. I've had to "X" out of Firefox and use task manager to end it coz it froze my compter. I was reading it on my moms laptop and it got a virus. My dad (He's an IT director) is STILL trying to get rid of it, and this happened a week ago! |
| its not happening to me at all so far |
 |
| Yeah, I've had problems with mangafox too. Big, slow-loading ads, automatic redirections, EVEN SLOWER ADS, viruses, popups and the like... I tend to use firefox instead of IE nowadays, though, which basically gets rid of the redirections and the viruses. To get rid of the ads, I simply find which ones are picture-based rather than flashplayer/java based, and right click -> Block images from [googleads.something something]. (replace googleads with whatever ad company they come from) |
| Maybe virus.. i mean one time i on there and it just froze... jsut froze.. happened 3 times |

Yesterday I was reading manga at MangaFox and my internet explorer froze. There, I bolded your problem. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| xD yeah IE sucks major. I use Firefox, and I've never had any trouble with Mangafox. Since I have adblocker I never seen any ads either. |

| it never happen to me and don't want to |
| My anti-virus program informs me of all maleware that attempts to get into my computer. I use firefox exclusively as well. Having said that, I will not go on mangafox anymore because every time I do, I almost immediately get some horrible maleware trying to get into my computer. I used to use mangafox and had no problems, but for some reason, in the last few months, the site has become a virtual field of trojan land mines. 99.99% you got that crap from manga fox, despite what other users might say, but they are misinformed. The best thing you can do is ditch the site or else get a very good ad-blocker which blocks ALL ads automatically (I use ad block plus and it is still insufficient) or get spybot or something that automatically stops maleware from downloading into your computer. I use avast which is good but it often requires me to abort connection but tells me that something is going on. What is really bad, though, is if my web browser stops responding and lags out and I cannot abort connection fast enough. This has caused me to use system restore on my XP almost three times now. |
| I've been having problems recently with viruses, freezes, and redirects from mangafox lately. I've tried Firefox, Safari, and IE and all gave me the same results, it's actually gotten to the point that I can't read more than 4 chapters without running into an issue. I've switched over to onemanga for the meantime, since it's gotten to be a pain in the butt to try to figure out which page I was on before the pop-ups froze the browser or the virus scan kicked me off of the website. |
 |
| The main problem I get is that the Acrobat Reader thing pops up, and I ran a virus scan coz it's getting really slow on my connection, but nothing came up. Then my mom logged in on her account yesterday and a popup came up saying that my account had caused 5 threats, something called "Bloodhound" (Anyone who thinks of the "bad touch" I WILL find you!), and so far we haven't done anything. I only go on it to read my yaoi manga coz OneManga doesn't have it...guess I'll stop going on it now ^__^ |
Mouser888 said: Wow I thought this topic was dead. If anyone needs malware remover go to malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. It's a free program which is constantly updated to fight the latest malware. I had the worst night yesterday, both my computers got Spyware Protect 2009 Malware. The program's only 5mb or something and it worked great. Remember this program is free, there is a pay version but the non-paying customers still get the same malware signatures, you just don't get active protection and etc. For all those who don't have a solid malware remover and detector, at least try malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, give a quick scan, and you can choose to delete it afterwards. Yes, this is the best program to remove otherwise impossible to remove maleware such as fakealert and vundo which I got from mangafox. |
| manga fox is legit and win |
  |
| I haven't gotten any, but in the last couple of days there were some redirect attempts, and I ran a number of scans and tweaks, changed my configurations and it stopped happening. The ads can be stopped if you change your privacy settings I've found. They don't show up at all for me and the pages load super fast, although they were never slow for me before. |
 |
| Woah, I had no clue, I consider my self mildly informed when it comes to computers, I had no clue that mangafox did that. I would use it casually every once and a while, and every once and a while my spyware scanner would pick up on some random trojan. I kept scratching my head wondering what I had been on to cause these rare little attacks. Now I know and I will stay away from that site from now on. |
| I've had the same issue lately. Like everyone said it just has to be IE thats catching the viruses. I'll use Firefox to read now. |
   |
| It happened to me me once back in January. I think it just comes from the ads on there. |
| I've had my spyware blaster and spybot block/fix those issues on mine.. I don't get anything at all from Mangafox. |
"It's because you exist.. That I'm here right now.."  |
| I haven't had any problems with mangafox. Like others though I use firefox. |
 |
| I got a virus there a few weeks ago, and I was browsing it through Firefox. I'm having a lot of problems getting rid of the virus, but it doesn't seem to be doing much to my computer thanks to my having disabled it. Still, it's really annoying. I don't visit that site anymore. I only really use onemanga right now. |

Mouser888 said: Tried it. Didn't actually work. It doesn't read the virus as being there, but I know the viruses' exact location and it's definitely there. I'm going to try deleting it manually once I finish classes, but until then I want to leave it alone. I don't want to risk wiping my computer until after all my homework has been handed in and I don't need it anymore.Wow I thought this topic was dead.

| This just confirmed my thoughts. After getting through 4 volumes, I get this pop-up, re-direct mess, and on top of that it alerts that I have viruses downloading into my computer <_< uh-huh.... Ya see? very obviously, mangafox, is the culprit! O: Also I had firefox and pop up-blocker! |
| I just have regular Firefox and I have no problems with mangafox, I do get redirects rarely but all I have to do is just hit back or use my history. Sounds like you guys had viruses before hand or whatever. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| Got redirects, nothing else. |
 |
| Do NOT read on manga fox! Two of my computers crashed because of that website. |
| Friends will bail you out of jail. Best friends will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn, that was fun!" |
| So it IS manga fox. Last week I got terrible virus, and all I had been on was Manga fox. I ended up having to reformat my entire computer. Tonight, the same thing happened again..and again I was on Manga Fox. It's a shame that's site so dangerous..it has stuff on there you can't find anywhere else! |
| Guys, it's not MangaFox's fault... it's their ad company. |
 |
| Ive always had problems with MangaFox. I get Trojans all the time from there. Which sucks because they have way more manga than OneManga |
| Ofcourse, you could just use a site that doesn't jpgfies and downscales the pages like Mangahut or Mangatoshokan. Or use a combination of Domdomsoft manga downloader and CDisplay (or whatever tickles your fancy). |
 My kingdom for a bottle of plum juice! |
| I almost got killed on MangaFox when I used Internet Explorer. I've found out that it's worse on really old versions of internet explorer. It causes everything to automatically shut down. However, I switched to FireFox and everything was fixed!!! |
 |
| I tend to avoid MangaFox because of problems I had there getting viruses and such. Once in a while if I really can't find another manga I'm interested in somewhere else, I'll try. I haven't been there in a long time, but it use to wreck havoc on my computer. Also, on a computer on campus too. Whoops. |

| OMG!! i thought i was the only one who had a problem with mangafox..it infected my computer with so many trojan viruses that my computer died on me completely so i had to take it to a shop...plus the viruses would always be malware or something that looks like a security type of software but was actually a trojan....so now i just read it on my itouch..haha ^^;;;; |
| I've never really had a problem with MangaFox before untill they added those ads that started playing sound now. |
