Virus on forum mainpage ?

[SKYMTL]

We think we nailed it but there were multiple issues.

From my understanding, the trojan issue was a false positive stemming from an updated Wordpress plugin that threw out code which some AV scans picked up as malicious.

As for the "You've Won!!" and Adult FF ads, they appear to be geo targeted and stem from a Google ad. They should be off the rotation as long as Google wants to screw the pooch agan.

Sorry about this guys but thanks for your understanding.

I don't think it's be squashed yet, I keep having to hit my back button more than once because of that same url, AV's not complaining, but the ad isn't loading either.

I had know actual problem on my main but when I seen that a few other where I though that I would just load up a stock older OS in VB and see what would happen and was surprised l0l I would have been totally oblivious to this if know one reported it

Bloody hell.

Holy **** this ad has been driving me insane. Every site I go to, I hear that annoying ******* voice.

Also, at work. IE6 and Firefox report nothing. Is there a surefire way to replicate this or does it seem to be fairly random?

Here is what i git nailed with here this morning. Got a way too convincing popup that looked exactly like the MSE popup. Got suckered and hijacked. Caught it immediately and cleaned it up ok, but holy crap.

Using IE 9 and MSE.

Well, until further notice i will not be using chrome anymore to visit HWC, will be using waterfox with a bunch of security add ons.

Seems random to me which is why I suspect it's something getting in through the rotating ads space on the website.

I don't know much about all this stuff, and web programming and the like, but I'll bet $100 that it's somebody maliciously screwing around with HWC.
