pzulw Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I clicked on the big download button and it installed about 7 spyware programs. AVOID technicpack. Quote
jakalth Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Either your connection got hyjacked when trying to connect to technicpack or your antivirus, like mine, thinks the launcher and packs are some type of trojan(over zealous security software) when they are not. Was the site link simply technicpack.net? If not, the hyjacked connection seems the most likely. Quote
Jebussz Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I've never had a problem nor have i known anyone else to have this problem. You probably clicked on an ad and are now regretting it. Quote
Valkon Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Well, I'll make sure to avoid downloading technicpack, but my guess is Technic Launcher is still fine to download? Excellent. Quote
Prototype958 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 It was an Ad... It probably sent you to one of those "AdBuzz" Pages where it says "Select your country, select your OS, click download" right? Well at the top right of that page there's a button that says SKIP AD. I fell for it once, but if you had been paying attention to the name of the software it wanted you to download you'll see that it clearly wasn't Technic EDIT:: Or this is what he saw... http://imgur.com/T6lU6J2 Ignore the window on the right, I didn't about my second monitor open, just watching YouTube.. Lol Quote

Lol Google adsense is giving those out. https://support.google.com/adsense/troubleshooter/1631343?hl=en They let some of bad ads slip through it seems. I see the same ones on minecraftforums.net and msn.com even (rare). Quote
