Site seems to be working much faster now and I am getting fewer notices of redirects.....looks like we are making progress slowly....We are also changing several things to avoid this problem in the future....please bear with us for awhile as they complete another scan of the site

My hosting company says they found the malicious code and removed it. However, it seems to me the site is still running extremely slow and I still occassionally get warnings about malware. I told them I don't think it's really clean yet, but they said all their dianostic tools say the site is clean..... they even sent me the image below to prove it....

Amanda, It will take a lot more than this to chase most of us away. Your 10 years of dedication to us buys a lot more loyalty than a stupid virus can ruin. Sorry you are having all these issue. Thanks for all you do! Thank you!! I am sorry for the troubles....we are doing everything we can. And eventually the malicious code will be found and removed.

fyi, the malware program that I posted the link for will block the malware on the site. It's a great free program to help keep you safe from malware. Tech support is still scanning the entire site trying to find the source of infection. Sorry, but it takes time to find it. They already did one scan and removed what they thought was all of it, but that wasn't entirely effective. You can always stop visiting this site for a few days until this gets resolved.

If anyone wants to scan their computers to look for malware, here is a free program that comes highly recommended http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

The hosting company says they removed the malicious code, but can't find how it was injected into the site. Make sure your antivirus programs are updated, this will likely come back until we figure the source. We actually found malicious code several weeks ago on the home page, but that was removed and a backup of the site was reloaded. however, the problem came back. I believe the weakness is in Word Press which is the software that run the main page.

I haven't used any of the cellular trail cameras personally since I don't tend to get cell service where I want to put a camera, but I do sell the covert brand camera. If you don't like it, you can get a refund. You can check out the camera in the CW store. http://store.coueswhitetail.com

Thanks for all the additional info. I submitted a request to tech support early yesterday, but haven't heard back. Usually they are pretty quick, but right now it seems they are backed up from christmas. I will get this fixed as soon as I can. In the meantime, if you posted any hunt stories or photos since Christmas, you might want to copy and paste the story into a word document so that you have a copy of it. It's possible that if they can't find the malicious code, that we will just have to reload a backed up version of the forum from before Christmas, which means any posts made after that might be lost. So if it's important to you, you might save your stories.

hey everyone! Today is the 10 year anniversary of CouesWhitetail.com! I launched this site on my mother's birthday, 10 years ago. And wow, what a ride it has been for the last ten years. I just wanted to say thank you to all the great people who contribute so much to this site. Your generous sharing of photos, stories, advice, and even money has kept this site growing exponetially ever since it started. We are bigger and better than ever and I truly have enjoyed the friendships I have made with people on this site. Thank you everyone!

Type unit 37b arizona into google and you should be able to find the info page about the unit on the agfd webpage. Each unit report has info for all the species in the unit, along with suggestions on where to hunt

Thx for the update and i will have to check out that pic idgaf!

I am checking with tech support to make sure things are safe. But it's Christmas and they have limited tech support today.... make sure you have your anti-virus software updated!

I am having zero problems....everything seems normal to me. that's very weird....

That's a cool looking buck!!

Awesome!

Merry Christmas!!

Also, April and May seem to be the worst months for wind, so if you skip those months you can cut out a lot of the problem windy days.

That was a fun contest!! I think she is about 6 or 7 now. She is getting all gray in the face and sometimes her hips bother her, but she still is young at heart! We actually thought she would never live past age 4 because she has NO fear of anything and leaps off cliffs and runs into trees and barbed wire fences at full speed when she is chasing something sometimes! I spend a lot of my time gasping and shrieking when I watch Julie fly through the desert and forest! She is a super athlete! She always wants to carry things and she greets me every morning by jumping up on the bed carrying either some socks, my hiking boots or the TV remote!! She doesn't chew them up, just carries them around. She loves being a retriever!

Gorgeous buck!! Congratulations and thanks to the CWT members that helped out!

Wow, very nice!! Congratulations and don't forget to enter him in the Coues Buck contest: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/34667-2012-coues-buck-contest/

Here is Julie oh so Happy again because she found an elk leg in the woods near our friends house. She brought it back and rolled around on the grass chewing it up!! and here she is staring at the same friend's cat...she can't help it! She would try scooting a little bit closer now and then. She really wanted to chase that cat!

yes, she does and she would love to let you rub it all day!!

Julie running in the snow the other day! She was SO HAPPY!! (as she always is, that's just her nature!) and her friend Sunshine enjoying a roll in the dirt....she LOVES the dirt!

How long did you have the camera out? On cameras that I use, I keep the sensitivity on high and use three shot photo burst because I like to look at everything that might come in, from elk and bears to small birds and squirrels. I just posted a video of photos from a camera that was left out for a year. I always get some blank shots because of the wind, but have reduced those signficantly by thinking about where I place them. here is the video in case you didn't see it.....I think it's fun to see all the critters out there! Hopefully you will have just as much fun when you figure out what settings work for you!

Wow, nice finds!
