One of the Zoltar websites was a scam/hijack site that tried to jack my computer. It was one of those ones that tries to get you to call "Microsoft" for help and makes it impossible to get to any other screen, so I immediately shut down everything... I think this is the first time I've actually gotten one of those... I vaguely remember someone being sucked in by the Microsoft scam a while back... Anyway, take care out there, because Zoltar won't predict it for you!

But yeah, what @A6_Foul_Out said...

And just like that I'm transported back in time to being a careless teenager playing DDR all night at the casino arcade. I was the DDR master. Good times.

most times those sites url's will have a bunch of mixed up numbers and characters, best to avoid those, would be nice if Zolty had a comment section on the hit so we could tell them or explain about these sites

windows 10 should prevent anything bad that happens when you go to a shitty website.

if windows 10 or ublock origin mark a website as unsafe/phishing, I mark unavailable

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?hl=en

I couldn't mark anything until I rebooted (so I completed that on my phone), because the webpage kept coming up over everything... I am running Malwarebytes right now.

I can't remember the name of the site, but it was something completely normal, because the first thing I do is check the url. I wish Zoltars had a comment section, too.

This completely destroyed my will to do anything else today

 

[Manly5000]

Why is it every time I try to click on a Zoltar HIT it says "No more HITs available" but the Zoltar HIT stays there in the list and keeps refreshing in HIT finder?

I've never had one that bad

the phone app hits from before did this as well.
