Yeah there was a virus on it today. Thinkpoint.exe i believe. Likely they have shut down to remove it.

DNS issues, there is another thread explaing. Should have given a link, but need more posts to do so.

This is not true. They changed DNS servers yesterday.

No they didn't have a virus it is just a DNS updating issue. If you're getting a virus it's not through curse. Originally Posted by Wonderboy

A anti-virus telling you something and it being true are two completely different things. The only way you will get a virus through the client is the ads and even then it is highly unlikely. And as i'm sure everyone is fully aware addons (especially when downloaded through the curse client) CANNOT give you a virus.

It is possible to get a virus through Curse, but not Curse directly. Originally Posted by sirlimpy

I have already spoken to Members of Curse Staff about this and there is not much they can do about it as the advertisements come through a 3rd party.
All we can do is report them as they occur.

There's already another thread regarding the subject, also refer to curse's twitter.

Just wanted to confirm for people that there was nothing like a virus on Curse.com that caused the intermediate service. We had an issue with our DNS services. It's been corrected but may still affect people for up to 36 hours (or more in some horrible cases) while the fixes propagate.
