• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

This is the error I (still) get....

Infection type: JS: Decode-BFW [Trj]

Appears to be a trojan
 
Does anyone know how to get rid of it on the hosting server? Readyhosting, the web hosting company, is not helping at all. Blaming me and telling me I need to clean the files. I always thought that web hosting companies had a duty to do virus scan on all the files on their servers. I am ready to move to another web hosting company.
R,
 
I also got redirected to the "adult friend finder" site. But when I closed the site and went back to the link, it opened up just fine.

Hey Walt, You were probably logging into "adult friend finder" and got hijacked to the boat ad!

I don't have to log into Adult Friend Finder. It's my home page when I turn the computer on.:whistling: :ermm: :popcorn::thumb:
 
Let's see now.....the host's computer works and the Apple products work. (iPad & Mac)
Hmmmm....what does that tell us?:confused: :)hide:)
 
ralphyost, Be advised that my son, who is a computer whiz, has just switched all of our computers from MSE to Bitdefender as a free anti-virus program. I have had several problems with MSE and, as stated, Bitdefender flags websites prior to entry. He also stated that Bitdefender currently ranks at the top on independent surveys, while MSE is fairly low. No interest in either, just trying to keep my computers working well!
 
Bitdefender

Hey thanks for the tip on Bitdefender !!! I will look into that one.

See post #25...

I would consider that those of us that are seeing an error our systems might be detecting something that really isn't a threat but considering that some others are being redirected to a pseudo-porn site tells me that there truly is an issue.

Just my .02

That hosting company sucks. Not worth squat.

Good hosts will have security and will usually keep your site protected.

I used Hostgator for years. Excellent until they were bought out by probably the same company that owns your former provider. They now suck.

For antivirus use Vipre, at $49. a year, it's worth it for a clean computer.

BTW, if you're using WordPress, switch to a Lightspeed server. Faster and much better security.

Web site

I was using Front Page to create my web pages. Now that is not supported. I have to move to something else that is EASY. I just dont want to invest a lot of time learning it. I dont do a lot of fancy web site stuff, just as something is needed like the page for the trawler for sale.
Is Lightspeed a web page builder?

Lightspeed is a server operating system.

WordPress is a blog platform that's free, easy to learn and has thousands of free things you can add.
 
web page builder

thanks for this. Yes I know WordPress is a blog tool. I dont want to do blogs. I just want a replacement software for Front Page.......and so far its not been easy finding one.
What software do you suggest is easiest for me to go to from Front Page? My web hosting company said FP can be easily hacked.

You don't have to use WordPress as a blog. I don't anymore, actually I'm going to start using it as a landing page for a couple of sites.
 
So do you think Word Press is the easiest software tool for me to use to build and maintain web pages?
 
I didn't see a virus but I didn't see a trawler for sale either.

I'm sorry I am not proficient in this area, but I dont comprehend your answer or understand what CMS is....is your answer a yes or a no to my question about Word Press.

WordPress is a CMS, which stands for; content management system.

I build, market and manage websites for my business and I think WordPress is the best system out there right now.

For me, yes. For you, try it, you may like it.
 
ok thank you very much. Your experience with web site building is the kind of referral I was looking for.
 
Greetings,
Hmmm....Trojan? I thought it was for a Defever. By the way, shows up fine here in Granda...
 
Another day later and I get directed to 'Ready Hosting'... did you take the post down because of the virus issues? Would love to take a look at this boat!

[EDIT: somehow I missed the post on page two where you explain that the hosting company had deleted your site/suspended your account. Sorry about that. There's a good chance that your files that you uploaded were corrupted on your machine; I use a combination of two or three programs on every computer we have to fight viruses and spyware: AVG Free Edition has been my go-to anti-virus for years now. Rarely has it failed (and I give it every opportunity). You can find it at http://www.Grisoft.com. Spybot Search and Destroy is a pretty great (and also free) anti-spyware tool that can "immunize" your computer against known threats. Very user friendly for the novice; there are also many advanced tools available for the more expert user. It's available at http://www.safer-networking.org/dl/ .]

You're a little bit off here, as 'blog tool' doesn't really begin to describe what wordpress does. Many sites, major and minor, are built on wordpress. Yes, a blog could be built too, but I think you will find that wordpress will allow you to get any kind of site up in running in less than a day.

From wordpress, here is a page of free themes: WordPress › Most Popular « Free WordPress Themes

My own theme is a paid wordpress theme, and took quite a bit of expertise to customize, but we were building a commercial site whereas you are simply looking for a way to advertise your boat. Like I said, there's an option for every skill set.

Here is another link to see our boat

Hi Shantyhag

[FONT=&quot]1982 Defever 41 Trawler Double Cabin Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]NOTE: Please do NOT contact the broker in that ad. If you stay with me directly, I can save you the brokerage commission. If you contact him, it will invoke the sales commission.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]We recently reduced the price of the boat $15k to $135,000 for quick sale. If we don’t sell it by middle of October, we will bring the boat to Cape Coral/Ft Myers FL and turn it over to another broker for sale. Right now you can buy it direct from us and save the sales commission, which is a sizable amount of money.

You can contact me directly at
ralph at alphacompservices.com

thanks
R.
