:star:WARNING TO VOLUNTEERS:star:

PLEASE BE AWARE, there is the distinct possibility that you may search a site that will put you at the risk to get viruses, Trojans or Spy/Malware!!  Please keep your anti-virus signatures up to date and do frequent scans.  Having more than one AV and/or Trojan programs is better.  There is NO perfect protection, but we recommend (we get nothing from this) that you download the free version of McAfee SiteAdvisor.  [link] resides on your toolbar and warns of problem sites.  You STILL must use common sense, though!  If you wish to not do searches for RATF because of this we will understand.  While searching two nights ago, 1arcticfox had a malware/Trojan deposited on her computer called “Error Safe”.  It masquerades as a Microsoft notice box, asking you to download “Error Safe” to check for errors in your registry.  She did NOT download this, but still was infected and is still dealing with that – even though she runs 3 Anti-virus programs and has 2 firewalls!  More information on this will be available soon.

:new: AN ADDED UPDATE NOTE---
If you use the firefox internet browser and download the No-Script Plugin you will be able to prevent the javascript / java / flash plugins that are used by malicious websites to install viruses and trojans while you are searching questionable websites for stolen art.
`cmptrwhz







We are working as hard and as fast as possible to deal with all the information coming in.

We are swamped and apologize - respond times to comments/questions may be slow.

We are not perfect

note us if there is an oversight it is not intentional.

Comments left on the RATF site by others - are THEIR opinions not necessarily ours.

We need volunteers who will uphold the volunteer code of ethics.

We WILL NOT tolerate unprofessional conduct or illegal or unorthodox methods period.

This is not a vigilante task force.

We simply want to help people with their art theft and copyright issues.

We are volunteers and do not deserve abuse, we are merely assisting you to resolve your rip issues!

It's all ready up there. I was told by :iconmarsille: to ask you how to get it off.
Mine is this. [link]
Sorry for that other short comment. I'm not a person of many words. I sent a note but I forgot to put a subject, so you probably deleted it. Sorry about that.
Reply
:iconrippedarttaskforce:
As you now know, I didn't delete it. Just didn't understand it. We've got it all cleared up now, right?
Hugs,
Anj

I'm gonna ask this, did you get the links from me or someone eles? because I remember messing up the post in the note and it looked way too confusing for me. ^^;
Reply
:iconrippedarttaskforce:
Not sure, dear. If you're reporting to *beigebuddha, she usually types up a rip report for me so I can just update the journal. Maybe she fixed them for you???
Hugs,
