braven25 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I assume the ad's have been re-enabled today... the virus popup is back, can't use the site again :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerinth Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Can people confirm their locations please? State/county + Country would be most ideal. Or just country if you're really worried about sharing your location in public. I'm in Greece right now and I have friends in Glasgow constantly refreshing the site trying to get this virus and none of us can reproduce it. It seems like the ad is localised in some way. Made evident by the fact only a handful of people are reporting it rather than everyone who uses the site.im in Glasgow and im getting it. Posted pics and info in your virus warning thread. Not its not my pc as was suggested to me when i went in chat for advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 A look around the internet shows a lot of sites - not just ours, are being hit by this piece of crap. Mostly seems to be hitting England and parts of Europe right now, but I did see one in Canada - on a chess site. They seem to be hitting game sites quite a bit.

Korodic Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I have informed our current advertising chain about it. There have been far too many of these getting through their filters recently which has been one of the main reasons I have cancelled my current contract with them and have signed up with a new partner who will, hopefully, be a lot more careful with the inventory I give them.Dark0ne to the rescue!

Ryoichui Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Wow, i've been gone for a long time ^^'' Just wanted to mention i'm having this happen again :/ it doesn't auto download, or atleast i stopped it quik enough, from what i could see before i hit the panic button and escaped, it seemed to be a virus disguised as a firefox update.

Slaughters Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I'm going to strongly recommend noscript and noredirect browser addons for firefox and Chrome. Noscript will allow you to configure what scripts can and cannot be executed in your browser, which is very important for ones security. Just my two cents on this matter.

MacAilbert Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) I am now having frequent redirects to such Java virus sites. For geographic reference, I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Edit: Also getting sent to some generic browserupgrade virus. Edited November 1, 2014 by MacAilbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
