Forum: SpaceHey

Hello, creator of Spacehey. I hope this reaches you! And for everyone else, a small warning:

A friend of mine who also uses Spacehey told me earlier that their Antivirus caught something when browsing a person's profile. It was something called "Webfetti".

A quick google search reveals that it's a toolbar add-on which feeds you pop-ups, supposedly it's been around for a long time and Webfetti used to have Myspace layouts as well. Likely pumping the malware into their code. I'm not sure if Webfetti is still relevant, perhaps their site no longer exists and perhaps it would not affect modern computers at all. Either way, I wanted to draw attention to this.

If you pulled codes from the web, do a quick Ctrl+F search for Webfetti in your code to make sure nothing is there.

Take care.
