I was just looking at the technical vista forum and this popped up

[chazzy2501]

Hey guys, I was just browsing this thread and a virus popup popped up.

Vista has ground to a halt!



is it my machine as I only had this page open. (for a change)

Fake! don't click it.

It's a similar method to the AV2010, jobbie. Note the obvious in browser AV scan...

Did you access edugeek through a proxy site?

p.s I'd scan you computer just to be sure..

[kevbaz]

run malwarebytes on yer machine

[tech_guy]

It pooped up? Oh dear.

[mossj]

Just happened to me.... Edugeek has something dodgy! Will use contact form to report this, but..

No proxy, IE7, Sophos updated.. only other Leicester Uni tabs open (and have been for sometime).

Clicked a thread and got almost instantly redirected (page loaded for a split second).

If anyone else get's it be sure to note down the details...

[mossj]

Ohhh just noticed the Affilite id..

The Ip might be worth adding to peoples blacklist

"I was just looking at the technical vista fourm and this pooped up"

It may be a typo but I think it's better than the original intention.

"fourm" -- I have no excuse.

Just got it now...

Some dodgy ad script on the site?

[trekmad]

Just had it while looking at the thread regarding giving admin password access to ICT co-ordinator.

I had it earlier, and am using OSX - so it's almost certainly something to do with the site unfortunately.

[FN-GM]

my money is it will be a dodgy ad.

I have just had this reported to me. I have pulled all the adverts just in case and reported it upstream. I have not personally had any popups as of yet.
