The Anti Virus program is Eset Smart Security Version 4.0.467.0 (Nod32)
The virus signature database is 5503 (20101004)

It has happened using both FireFox and IE

Roger that, thanks! :salute:

Boggles the mind. :hmmm:

I've had no issues with either having to update Java nor the trojan we had earlier. Maybe this is a localised issue?

Avast & Firefox here.

That would be a good point except it only happened on Subsim forums
And not all the time its usually in the morning BST and then not for the rest of the day
Even if you clear your history and re-install nod32 it wont find anything until the next morning when you first enter the forum. :stare:

I will do a little test …. I will remove my anti virus and un-install all the browsers this
Will clear all log files then I will enter only Subsim forums until the pop appears and then I will report here if this happens. I will up data java and see what the result of this is this time. :stare:

Did a total restore of the machine IE. Formatted the hard drive re-installed windows installed system software including Nod32.
Installed firefox then opened Subsim it didn’t ask for a flash player update or the java
Update this time.
Also I see the adverts are not changing tonight :DL

I am getting the unsafe website popup that JScones posted with IE8 but not with Firefox.

Windows 7 just using Microsoft security essentials.

Hi Neal,

I am running HBEDV "Avira", SpyBot TeaTimer in the background, and occasionally use Ad-Aware, MalwareBytes and a2emergencykit, the latter only against trojans. No threats detected by any of the programs.

Using WinXP here, and IE 8; all updates installed. IE8 tells me that the "SmartSCreen Filter" has detected this site as unsafe.

It does not happen with Firefox version 3.5.6.

Greetings,
Kai

I wonder that if like me you have recently re-installed your Machine
And then when entering SubSim clicked “Yes” to installing flash player 10.1
And then you were asked to add the Java update if so this may explain a lot.
Because it looks like Subsim may have not Known that the link they offered to
Add this Flash Player link may have contained a little added program Please see below

That could be why some have seen this and a lot have not.

Edit ... if you clicked the link you would not of see this screen it would just of run the update opening the door to the trojans

What ads? I don't have any ads. :doh: Only the amazon linky on top-right corner and the navyfield ad. This with both FireFox and IE, the latter being virtually untouched so I haven't blocked the ads.

One of the ads might be causing the issues. :hmmm:

As I just stated the post above yours when you install flash player the adverts change but they dont now :up:

But I have Macromedia's flash player installed. :hmmm: Haven't had any other ads in awhile apart from the two I mentioned earlier.

Yes as did I for a long time this has only started when I re-installed my machine last Thursday I think :up:

It's possible that the changes in whatever java the flash ads were running is triggering some AV, so I disabled it yesterday until the techs finish their work.

It looks like the prime suspect as nothing is showing today
And as you see from the above picture disabling it could well be the solution :up:
