Forum:Virus Detected, Shut down

While I know the rules on how to deal with this whole bad ad thing, this I really found scary and odd. Look at the picture I took before firefox crashed.

This happened I think at Cartoon wiki. But the same thing happened yesterday at DC Database. Is this happening to anyone else? I don't know if its the school computers anti-virus program or it really is a virus. Devilmanozzy 18:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Its a special formed ad, trying to trick you into downloading their "anti virus" software, which its self is actually a virus. --Uberfuzzy 18:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info, I sort of started thinking about the second popup, and it was a fake windows navigation screen saying your getting trojuns. I reported thru Wikia email addy. I hope they stop this ad from showing up, because it'll scary people off. Devilmanozzy 19:20, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thats a normal type of popup alert window that javascript can do. theres an alert box with just OK, a confirm with OK/CANCEL and a prompt with a textinput and OK/CANCEL. see . We are looking into these ads, and doing our best to find and remove them.--Uberfuzzy 20:34, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Forgive me for not logging in, but I just got this ad again, for the second time. Here's the malicious link: http://secure-antivirus-scanv3.com/1/?id=02006-71&query=6f1ef9720&q=%3DTQy2DD2OIQOMI%3DN  . I hope you guys can fix this really soon. - 71.100.31.120 17:19, 26 July 2009 (UTC) (MrSinistar)


 * Yeah it showed up again at Filmationghostbusters wiki again today. Its not been caught yet. Devilmanozzy 00:20, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The solution for firefox is the noscript extention, although this is far from ideal RT  14:54, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * See Help:Bad ads for reporting an ad you think is malicious or just "bad".--Richardtalk 18:44, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sadly, wont help for these, the page gets redirected before you can get anything open to get any information, and when you go back, you likely get different (non infected) ads. --Uberfuzzy 19:49, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
