Forum:Viruses from Wikia?

Okay, the title might be a little misleading, so forgive me.

Yesterday I was browsing Wikia with this computer of mine (IE7, F-Secure Client Security (my anti-virus program), Windows XP Professional Edition) and I had three "tabs" open. One for Wikia main page, one for Collaboration of the month/vote and one for some other page, was it Sannse's or Angela's talk, can't remember that right now.

So, I was reading Collaboration of the month/vote page, when suddenly an alert message from F-Secure popped up, alerting me that "the firewall has stopped this traffic." I later checked and there were two malware attacks.

The details go as the following:

Timestamp: 6.2.2007 (Sitxth of Feb.) 21:11:33 (my time)

Services: Malware - Sasser server in

Protocol: tcp

Direction: Incoming

Computer information:

Remote gate (or port): 2172

Remote address: 88.9.102.140 (WHOIS)

Local gate: 5554

Local address: ''I trust that you don't need to know my IP-adress. The staff can freely CheckUser me if they feel it is neccessary.''

The second attack details are almost same, except for these:

Timestamp: 6.2.2007 21:11:34

Services: Malware - Dabber in

Remote gate: 2452

Local gate: 9898

I'm not blaming Wikia, as I think it's Google's fault, since every Wikia page has Google ads on the right side. I'd appreciate if you'd do something to this. Makes me almost wanting to say that famous Samuel L. Jackson quote from SOAP, but I'll leave that out.

I've had two computers before this. The first one was infected with a Trojan horse, Delf.r and the second was infected with Sasser for some time, until I removed that worm (and BTW, that computer was lame anyway). I really wouln't like to get some worms on this computer just by browsing Wikia.

Thanks.
