[Updated] Nexus Trojan/Virus alert

Looks like another reason to use Ad-Blockers.

 

Anyone with a stolen credit card number can post an attack ad.

This was actually an exploit of the adservers themselves, rather than a malicious ad. They managed to append their own code to any and all ads served.

Thank you all moderators for working so fast, I reported a suspicious file a couple of minutes ago "Oblivion mod manager 2.0" For what I know there is not a version v.2 and the person joined the TesNexus today and posted the mod file and it was not allowed to comment on the file.

The virus file was gone in a second after I reported it.

Why would someone attack this site? its the best website on the web. Also im still getting virus reports and my anti virus is telling me to leave this site still.

i was going to say something about this trojan thing then i read the update thing and i was like "ohhhhh"...i still get a warning before here...im sure geniuses will fix it

Thanks to everyone who fixed this problem timely and effectively... truly horrible people out there who have nothing better to do than cause anger frustration and grief. Really pathetic.

 

anyway thank you again...

Right, sooooo... any chance of having the folk responsible for the adservers "pay up" for the hassle that their poor practices caused others to go through?
