Quote from Terpsichore
Also, I'm not sure if this is allowed...
Mangafox gave my computer a nasty virus. In the end, after going through everything including the registry, we had to rebuild my laptop. Ever since, whether they've fixed the problem or not, I avoid that site like the plague.
I wonder how many other people have had bad experiences on anime and manga sites??
Well, I'm a Linux user, and I mostly surf the net on Linux. For some strange reason Internet won't work on windows (I blame my Wifi card and it's drivers for this...) My net froze once or twice at Mangafox, but I reprogrammed my Linux drivers for my Wifi card, and things seem to be working fine now... Mangafox is working fine for me now. (at least for the past 2 weeks... I'm reading xxxHolic...)
But Thanks for the information anyway. I won't open the site in Windows (Inspite of all the Security on my System) if Internet starts working on it by Chance

OK... This is Crazy. I open Mangafox on Windows out of curiosity (managed to get the net working somehow). After every 5 or 6 pages, Firefox refuses connection because there is some JAR file downloading instead of the page image, and the JAR file is blocked by the Firewall...
Now, JAR files don't work on computers, but if this was a camouflaged virus, then it's clear there are really viruses here... or even so, some unwanted Program that wants to access your computer and do something (probably bad) with it...
Everyone... Be cautious with this site... to me it's not behaving normally...
