Warning Regarding Banners

[swedishfish]

Someone posted in the new members forum that they wanted to make a banner and clicked on the banner in someone's sig and they were taken to a ..........

I suggested they try mine, and when I clicked my own banner I got a Norton's warning and another member got a trojan warning.

I don't know if I should mention where I got mine, but I'm going to delete it. If you want the info though let me know and I can post the addy.

Thanks for the heads up.
My banner seems fine.

They're hijacking any URL they can find that has traffic.

If somebody can let me know the URL, I can do something about it. Thanks

This is the one that gave me a Nortons warning and gave someone a trojan warning. I don't know if that's where the porn came from or not.

yep, porn video and avira warning.
Virus or unwanted program 'TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen2 [trojan]'

Here is the thread where we were discussing it.


Cookiebun mine looked exactly like yours but it looks like a different url. Yours seems fine.

What also weird about this is the first time I clicked the link I got emma watson home movie (no thanks) and the second time it took me to a smoking banner creator. Very odd.

Thanks. Their site has been hacked and traffic is redirected. We will have to block that URL.

[edit]
OK that domain is now blocked. Please let us know if there are any more problems of this type - thanks.
