Computer virus activity from this site

11 years ago

Months ago my work computer was infected at 2AM with a virus from this site. I have a new home computer with a fantastic firewall, spyware detection software, and antivirus software. I can't be on this forum for more than 30 seconds without my computer alerting me to suspect activity.

In the past 3 days, here are the viruses that it has detected that I have stopped: cleaneragentactivity.in; debugcleaninspection.in; and brittlenessolver.in. According to AVG the 2nd and 3rd are the 27th and 18th most active viruses in circulation right now.

So now we have problems besides mosaic virus!! Please be diligent with your security scans and do what you can to protect your computers as THIS FORUM can cause lots of problems for your computer if you don't have protection.

I use FireFox with Adblock Plus. I got sick of the intrusive ads on Gardenweb. If they're not going to manage the ads and protect the users from viruses that are being slipped through, I'll protect myself and block all ads they try to show me.

This has just started in the past few days. I hadn't changed any settings, so I just thought virus attempts must be very active right now.

I use firefox with adblock and have not received any notices from norton. The virus payload is in the ads.
