Puck Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Just got a fake Java update popup on the homepage(spawned from those annoying popover window ads maybe?), with no X or exit. I hit the Update Later button and AVG shield caught it as an infected URL. Have a SS but OCC got strict on images and I cannot link to imgur and its too big to attach cuz they dropped the filesize limit to like 39kb x.x. Careful guys!

My avast gives me that warning about 40% of the time when I click on this site, always a different url, don't seem to hurt anything but something is not right, maybe this is why it seems quiet here lately, it would scare newbees away.

ajmatson Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Looks like some AV Suites may have some residual from the fallout of the last incident recently. Looking at Virus Total only 3 of the 51 online scanners still classify an issue. https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/956dd46c3680dc103351cf28dd14835c22f751d436ba34182d8305cc35b22651/analysis/ . I also ran a live real time scan from where I work and all content and URL/Links came back safe for AV, Malware, etc. 2014-01-26-Ace-Insight-Report.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 We had a couple of ads that was in the rotation that seemed to be triggering some warnings. We have blocked what we have located if, you guys seen anything else else let me know, a screen shot would be great as well so I can see whats on your screen at the time too helps. Did a check today again today still showing clear, but if you see different let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
