Joe Lauzon - Would be interesting to see what browsers/plugins people are using too... things are sometimes mistaken as malware that are really just ads.
Seems to be the IE users.
I use firefox with no add ons and have never seen 1 virus detection on the UG ever. And I've actually tried to get it to come up by opening the 'infected' threads that people list.. clean as a whistle on my end.
In for info on what people are using. I was using Firefox with Ad-Aware free when I got hit with it the first time. Switched to Nortan/Chrome with Adblock now but only come on the site with my phone.
Yeah it seems like someone posted an image or link on page 2 that is hosted on a site known for malware. Thats why everyones browsers are bugging out when they view the thread.
Everything else (besides the warning on page 2) works fine @ home (Chrome, Kaspersky) and here @ work (chrome, norton)
rushinbear - SO I POSTED THE IMAGE WE ARE GETTING AND NOW IT APPEARS TO BE CAUSING OTHER ISSUES FOR OTHERS
I will delete my post and see if other are getting the error after that.
Once you remove that pic on page 2 it wont happen on this thread anymore, wherever you copied that pic from it was possibly posted by a malicious person if you know where you got it from.
1. That pic is what I was getting on my screen when going to many different threads on this site.
2. I got that pic off another thread here where someone posted the pic. I just copied and pasted the addy in this thread.
I don't believe it's pics posted by users, but, rather, some malicious code in the random advertisements.
Someone tech savvy should correct me if I'm wrong, but I've gotten the redirect on threads with no pictures. I've also gotten the redirect, used Alt+F4 to get out, and then gone back to the exact same thread with no problems.
To me, that suggests that it's not pics--it's the ads. If it was the pics, wouldn't it always redirect when I went to that page of the thread? By contrast, the ads change randomly, so sometimes a particular thread/page gives you an issue while it gives none to others, or won't redirect you twice.
