I just tried to search the H.E.T. Club sight and got an infection warning and advertizing pop ups. Anyone else experiencing this? Lee

    Be careful of virus warnings. If the virus warning did not come up form YOUR virus program. There's some trojan virus that claims to have found a virus on your computer and asks you to install an anti-virus program...if that happens don't fall for it, just shut off your computer.

    Hi Jon:



    No, it wasn't that one. I typed in H.E.T. Club, pressed search, scrolled down to Hudson Essex Terraplane Club. Inc. I wanted to check out the club store. That's when the warning came onto the screen and then an advertising popup covered the screen.



    After your post I tried to log into the url you posted and I couldn't access that site. I typed in my membership # and pass word and the screen would keep coming back to the log in page. Any suggestions?



    Thanks for your help in advance. Lee

    I am afraid I can't help. E-mail Aaron Cooper and explain the situation as best you can, and maybe he can help you. HETankcoop@gmail.com (remove the HET before mailing). My link should have taken you directly to the H-E-T Club's homepage.



    I tried Googling "H.E.T. Club". The first and second listings were for the Hudson Car Club which is of course the Classiccar Hudson site, and the third and forth were for the real H-E-T Club website.



    I suspect the problem is maybe with your computer, and in that case I'm totally worthless in giving advice!



    It wasn't by any chance THIS site you found? http://www.freewebs.com/hudsontech/ If so, that was Alex Burr's old site but he had to abandon it because it was unfairly tagged with the 'unsafe' label!

    Lee, I tried typing H.E.T. Club in google search and chose the hetclub.org link. No problems with virus warnings.



    When you typed your password in did you use a Capital letter - passwords are case sensitive.



    My freewebs.com site developed a virus warning - according to Ted Welch the problem seems to be in google somewhere. I've accessed a couple other sites thru google (non-Hudson) and come up with the virus warning. Of course google techs deny everything. Anyway, I've solved my problem - I've moved the site to hetclub.org/burr and when Aaron can find the time it will become a web site connected to the hetclub.org site. Actually I have more on the site now than I had at freewebs. Material on the site can be opened even tho at the moment it's an index list.

    ARRON: Thanks for the warning tip. Shutting off the computor sounds like good advice.



    JON:

    I should have written: after using the url, you posted, I did access the home page. But, I could not log into it.



    It was not Alex's old web site I reached.



    ALEX:

    I went through AOL when I tried the search and the warning showed up, if that makes a difference.



    Since the pass word is cass sensitive to enter the home page, am I suppose to use all lower case or all upper case? I did use 2 cap letters seperated by an apostrophe.



    Thanks everyone for your help. Lee

    It might - I know some people got a warning going to my site, some didn't. Seemed to be governed by what web browser they were using; ie, Firefox might give a warning but IE wouldn't. But again it varied among users. Weird as hell.

    First letter capital - Burr for example.



    Thanks everyone for your help. Lee



    Got a msg my post was to short - we'll try this.

    Thanks for your assistance. I've tried the password as suggested and I still can't get past face page. Lee

    Lee, I was under the impression that one could not use characters like apostrophe's in passwords. Are you sure that you have the correct password? (I am awaiting Ted Welch's reply to my e-mail explaining your predicament, by the way. But we can still try to troubleshoot the problem until he offers one...)

    Jon, the Hudson club face page direction was to use my last name for the pass word. Since my name has an apostrophe that's what I did. Since then I have tried without the appostrophe, with just one cap. letters, all lower case letters, and all cap. letters. Still can't log in. I'll try again today.



    Should I try to use another word to use as a pass word?



    A friend told me he does a whole computor scan every night before going to bed. So, I did that last night and there was no virus in the system. The warning sign I got was probably, as suggested, a trojan trying to get into the computor.



    I appreciate everyones help. Lee

    This may be a bit unusual, but I appear to have two different passwords, one for www.hetclub.org and one for www.hetclub.com ...(?).



    In the past, the sites look very similiar, but appeared to be different in some aspects - to include some menu items & the passwords.



    The HET club 'owns' both sites, right? (i.e., they should be the entity that registered the domain names)... **Shouldn't the .com site just be a 'pointer' directing and routing traffic to the .org site?



    To the best of my knowledge the "official" HET club site is hetclub.org. The other one was started by Ted Welch for ClassicCar (sic). What happened was two different entities were coming down the track on separate rails, the one not knowing about the other. By the time the HET club officers and Ted Welch got into the same boat, there were two HET club web sites.

    And what's with this "Post is to short" - I been getting that recently on some of my posts. This this added bit that has nothing to do with the subject!!

    Sent Aaron Cooper a message yesterday. Hope he can help. Lee





    Thank you Aaron. That was really good of him since he is doing his Army training at this time. He sent me the solution. Drop the apostrophy and capitalize the O and D. I can get in now.



    After getting into the HET Club website the computor would freeze when I would try to access the Club Store Product List and the Club Store Order form. On the last attempt I had to push the off button to get out of the site after waiting about 20 minutes.



    Any ideas as to why this is happening? Lee

    He should be able to - he got me straightened out when I first tried to get into the site - turned out, for whatever reason, the log in didn't recognize my HET number and last name.

    I can still go to both, and now they appear to be the same... And now utilize the same username and password (just re-established, as I typed this :rolleyes:)...

    Rick, the two websites are not owned by the H-E-T. Hudson Car Club http://www.hudsonclub.org/ is the name that Classiccar gave to its Hudson-oriented site during a re-vamp (last year, I think). Classiccar had a Hudson site for years, many years before the H-E-T website came into being. That is the site that hosts the chatroom and this Hudson forum.



    The H-E-T Club's official site is at http://www.hetclub.org/ . There is a certain amount of cross-pollenizing going on between the two sites. The Forum and Chatroom are linked to the H-E-T Club's page, for example.

    Bob, I gave it a try again after reading your post. I was relutant to. It had become to troublesome for me. I was having to reboot to many times. It works now. No problem.



    However, I did have problems last night when I tried to send a reply to a post and the screen had a redirect problem message. Couldn't get back into the internet. Had to reboot again. So far, today my computor is behaving himself.



    Thanks everone for your help. Lee
