That virus I mentioned...

[Keith]

Just want to let you know that I have confirmed it's from PW. I know it sounded weird at first but I've confirmed it with the reputable T Adrenaline.

 

It's a corrupt ad that is going around and is pretty common. He told me how to fix it. Also another PW user posted saying he has gotten the virus too.

 

Just a heads up.

Ya it seems to be affecting Firefox users. I would suggest removing the ads temporarily until this goes away because it is a pain in the ass to remove.

Interesting since both users have been using Fire Fox I suggest to use another browser until the staff can fix the problem.

Google Chrome is pretty win.

I'll have a word with the people over at Curse to see if they know which specific ads are causing the problem so I can add them to the block list. Without knowing which ads it is, it's going to be pretty much impossible to stop without disabling them entirely. Ads are what keeps PW alive, as they contribute to the server costs.

 

If you have any information on this whatsoever, contact me.

 

What's weird also, is that I use Firefox and have not been effected at all even without an antivirus such as yourself.

Just a quick update, the issue has been brought to the attention of Google Adsense, so I'll let you know when I hear anything back from them. It appears it's not just PW having this issue, there seems to be an issue with this certain ad finding its' way in to a wide variety of different website.

 

I do apologise to anyone that this has effected, but of course, there isn't a great deal we can do about it until Google step in (which I think they already have). But if anyone is still having these issues, please try and give me as much information about the ad as possible, and follow Keiths instructions on how to remove it here:

Hopefully Google took care of it, I'm still waiting for a reply from Curse.

Was probably an exploit, I doubt you would be infected simply by visiting a forum.

What Rob said.

A malicious ad did appear to have broken through Google Adsense's strict detection system, but all should be okay now so I'm going to close this topic.
