Warning of Fake and Damaging Scott Walton Sites

A Web Surfer's Warning...

In the past few days, ScottWalton.Org has recieved several complaints of being redirected to pornographic web sites after searching google and other search engines for campaign related sites.  In response, ScottWalton.Org searched Google and found the site.  While it is not pornographic at all times, it is a redirect site that often leads to pornographic pop-ups. Even trying to exit the pop up is futile because hundreds of pop ups begin appearing in rapid succession, essentially stopping the computer and forcing the user to forcibly shut down their machine and reboot.  Forcing a computer to shut down can cause software malfunctions which require a professional to repair. 

Visitors, thinking they are clicking on a site that will offer information about Scott Walton and the campaign are led into a site that traps them into an endless loop, trying to force the visitor to download software from the site.  In all likelihood, the software being downloaded is malicious and will cause damage to the user's computer.  Sometimes, the visitor is made to believe that their anti-virus software has detected a problem, tricking the user into downloading the same suspicious software. 

The site found on this search turned up on the third page of the google listing but it will likely change positions.  Also, other sites may begin popping up. 

ScottWalton.Org reminds everyone that the only official site for Scott Walton for Sheriff news and information is this site, www.scottwalton.org. 

To ensure you're not accidentally allowing yourself to be attacked with a virus, and that you do not end up going to a malicious site, make sure that the site you are visiting is a trusted site that you know and use regularly.  If you are looking for the official web page of Scott Walton for Rogers County Sheriff, make sure the address begins with "scottwalton.org" or bookmark (favorite place) this site.  No other sites are offered by Scott Walton.

If you were a victim of the malicious site, we're sorry it happened and remind you that we're targets of this mischief as well.  We don't want to ever discourage anyone from researching their candidates and the World Wide Web is a powerful tool to use when researching candidates but please take a moment to make certain you are staying safe from damaging your computer or getting tricked into downloading a virus. 

Thanks for your support!
