hey everyone

So, I was doing some online shopping at http://www.thenorthfacejacketsoutletu.com/ and when I wanted to checkout the item, my sophos virus detection sensed risk in the final payment process, now I don't know what to do with it. Does it mean that the website is actually dangerous?

Something about that website doesn't add up. Poor English and what's the deal with the u in the URL? Could be a scam.

Agreed with Matt above. It doesn't seem to be "legit". The best thing is to do some research, see if anyone has had problems with them before. Use their contact form and run a few queries by them. And lastly see if their company "cheap north face jackets, INC" actually exists. It seems a bit odd that it isn't capitalised (check footer of website).

I would also cancel the credit card if you have entered credit card details on that site

I haven't put any credit card details on it except for my email and address (for the shipping info). But that was close! thanks, everyone! really appreciate and lesson learnt.

If you used same password as other accounts, make sure to change them.

If the deal is too good to be true... Majority of the time it is a scam.

Replace your details in the account with fake ones.

Change the password to something random and change existing ones on other websites just to be safe as mentioned above.

Take any and all CC details out of ANY website you have registered them with. No matter how "safe" a website claims to be, its not worth the risk. I don't care if its TradeMe or anything like that, you should remove the CC information as soon as possible.

Scan your computer for phishing/malware/spyware...ect if you visit the website regularly.

EDIT: Just read their about us page:

Fake site that was only registered 5 oct 2012.
Registered to a Kellen Hsu supposedly in the USA. (But thats fake as well I'd bet)
Kellen from what I found has also registered 4 other domains, one being MYOILPAINTINGUS.COM
Steer clear of the site, get a monitor put on your credit card if you put the details in the site (by contacting your banks fraud investigation team), if you use the same password elsewhere change it on the other sites.

They have a shop at Unit 4, 80 Queen Street, if you're in Auckland

You need to be very suspicious of online shopping websites as probably every third is dodgy. I strongly suggest reporting this website to North Face.
