Angry No more C32life.com

alright, ppl...this will be a warning.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT go on to c32life.com.

I went on and see what's going on because haven't been on there for a while last night, and I got massive SPYWARE attacked!!! Took me hella long time to clean every crap it installed on my computer.

if you do log on to that site my only comment is "good luck and hope you have great spyware prevention software"

and how you get spyware installed from simply visiting a website? you probably already had the spyware on your machine from actually installing something... websites don't install things your computer....

no spyware at all before visiting c32life again. I have Spybot and Ad-aware that I run every day before going to sleep.

you can try the website if you want, i'm done w/ it.

Yup... Ever since JR sold the site, it has been a total joke. The spyware is transferred through your browser.

It's a browser thing. Yet another one of the neverending Internet Explorer security holes. Use FireFox.

Definitely, switch to FireFox.

Are there any AMG websites out there with member profiles (upload pics, mods, track times, etc)? I was thinking of creating one if people are interested...

Dean,

that would be a good idea for the AMG site. Sorry I was not able to make the Dyno-Day I totally forgot that I had a track day on that weekend and couldn't make it out. I did check out your pull and your car seems pretty strong.


BTW,

It really is sad to see that happen to C32Life. I really miss the old site and don't go on there anymore because of those problems. It was what convinced me to get my c32. Well that and the 349 horses

No problem Prasith Hope the track day was fun. We had a good turnout, about 15 cars. I'll probably setup another one in the spring or summer.

My thoughts exactly...

Hey "Key" and/or other former C32Life'rs if you're around, drop a line once in a while!

I believe the C32life site's mechanic was based in Md. Anyone remember who he/they were and if they're still operating?
