Adware/Spyware/Malware

TetraCleric · 11-05-2009, 04:33 PM

A few friends of mine a couple weeks ago got some virus's while visiting this site, and we presumed it was because of the ad's that were being run on the site.

Well today, literally 5 seconds ago, I just got a warning for a malware/keylogger .exe that was being downloaded to my computer through Firefox. I have only one web page open...aionsource.

This needs to be looked into asap.

filename was something like HackTool.HRZ (87880421_Server.exe)

I'll have marketing look into it to ensure the ads being displayed are not hiding anything.

I don't know how this could be ad related tbh, I have AdBlock+ on so the ad's don't get sent to my PC.

Adblock only blocks what is on your subscribed list of ads.
