    More Malware...

    I just got this when opening the forum. My Favorite goes straight to the forum page.

    It looks like the fake virus protection, but I shut down IE and it didn't get me. I, and a few others, did get the fake one from a sister site (Road Bike Review) a few days ago. I had to use GoBack to reset my hard drive to get rid of it.

    Re: More Malware...

    Nothing for me from firefox. and just tried on ie and nothing there either.
    I don't know how but can it be a geographical thing? You're all pretty spread out though.

    Is it from whatever anti-virus program we/you are running?
    I'm on Norton now because our cable company switched to it.
    Just tossing out thoughts.

    Re: More Malware...

    I received this malware warning in firefox this morning.

    AVG: unaststiomask.com/info/nag2.html

    Exploit Neosploit Toolkit type1126

    I had no warning at all in opera.
    Look through a glass eye.
    Give it a few tries.

    So, what does this all mean? Could someone who knows how to interpret these warnings or messages explain? Thanks!

    Think This Is Solved

    I'm sorry I haven't been posting more about this. It has been a top priority over the past week, though. I think we finally tracked it down and eliminated it. It was an ad and it should be gone now. I would appreciate some feedback. Please let me know if you're stil getting malware alerts. Thanks!
