Amish Donkey backdoor

the other day I found an error screen on my desktop that said, "Amish Donkey Backdoor....437". when I ckilcked on it it went away and I could not find it again. Has anyone else seen or heard of this?

A Google search for Amish Donkey Backdoor brings up a lot of suspicious looking web sites...backdoor Yahoo games, card games, se@ sites, etc. So suspicious that I was too leery to even click on them. I would suggest running whatever malware removal tools you have and see what they come up with.

Se@ is not an allowed word??

Heya there, I'm the AmishDonkey.com webmaster.

As for the error/alert. First I've of such a thing, but it sounds like some sort of browser hijacking software that is used for displaying search results. Like the previous post, I'd run Ad-Ware or any other similar program to remove such a thing.

As for my Yahoo Games Backdoor portion of the site. It's a tool used to get into Yahoo games once they are full. Once a game room has over 100ppl in it, Yahoo lists it as "full" and removes the link, even though each room has a capacity of 250.
My site (and the several others like it) simply provide a directory of the room links all the time. Thousands of people play in leagues through MyLeague.com @ Yahoo Games, and play in only 1 room... so they use my site to get into their normal room when Yahoo takes the link down. I can understand why the term "backdoor" may cause suspicion to anyone that doesn't play in Yahoo's games & hasn't heard of my site.

Now as for the 1000 or so sites that are listed when you search for "amish donkey", except for my site & a few select others, they're mostly search engine leeches (sites that merely populate their pages with popular keywords in order be listed for as many searches as possible) & should be visited with caution, as always.
