Well I tried to respond to an email and was redirected to another page. I also picked up a Scanner (Norton actually works sometimes) called n.exn when I tried to backspace to my original page

I cleaned cookies, found one hit on antivirus but I must say, after clean usage yesterday, the problem repeats today.
I see the fake google ad on top and today I got a red screen in google chrome. It said "warning this site can harm your computer" and blocked www.watermelonfun.cn - Firefox says the same thing "Reported attack site" .
I will run antivirus again today . there is something odd.

The last time I saw this kind of problem was when Korea Herald was reported as attack, but I found out it's not the Herald, but rather their advertiser was blocked.

Antivirus does not necessarily clean (all) spyware.

You have to run Spybot and/or AdAware. Additionally, you might want to go to msconfig, and check whether there are any unwanted processes that are loading at at startup. How to do this:

1. Go to Run,
2. Run "msconfig"
3. In the Services tab, choose Hide all Microsoft Services
4. Google the remaining items to see whether any of them is malicious
5. Uncheck malicious items
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 in the Startup tab.

If malicious items keep returning to Services/Startup after reboot, try repeating this procedure in Safe Mode.

The proper solution is to set orders and avoid BB for a week to see if the problem exists elsewhere. I'm abandoning my team. There's no point in exposing my computer to the risk.

Web browers detect risks on the fly now days.
AVG And Avast scan for viruses.
There is online anti virus check for free
There is spyware immunization
This computer has been in the shop during the last 12 months and had windows reinstalled.

I haven't seen these attack sites anywhere but on BB. I hope you could give the BBs time to check with their advertising people.
If I want a problem between chair and keyboard I can create it myself thanks.

Still getting these malware ads when the page fully loads. Fortunately, these threats can't attack iPhone OS.

Unfortunately, only 1 existing virus is on the iPhone, and that is only a harmless virus attainable through jailbreaking. So Im 99% sure the problem is coming from this site.

So, as much as a fan I am of this game, I will certainly discontinue playing if this continues to happen.

While the original source might have been a bad banner ad, I recommend running SpyBot and AdAware to remove any traces on your computer.

Can you get a list of these ads? Our ad provider keeps telling us they've removed the ads, but it seems pretty clear they're wrong. If I can give them a list of the ads they'll be able to remove them; otherwise I'm not sure what the alternative is unless we find a different ad provider (which would take some time).


I just got one. It's about the seventh one today, but Norton caught this one. Norton claims that the "attacker url" is malware-online-scanner.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=adver354

Hope that helps, because this is getting ridiculous.

I suppose I could also report the ISP of the attacking computer:

source addr: 212.117.161.142
computer addr: 212.117.161.142, 80
