Hopefully this gets fixed on a more timely basis than the powerpint.net warnings I had to endure for months on end.

have run a debug on the page, script has a bug at line 128 the link the virus is going to is shown on this site

anyone who gets this virus alert all you have to do is use your back button to gat away from the false page

Here ar some screen shots. No adds are visible. The page redirects to the virus alert before FlyerTalk banner or adds appear.

When you click the X to close, the next screen appears.

When you click the red X to close, the first screen pops up again.

If you do a right click / close on Internet Explorer on the task bar, you get this message.

Trying to kill it through Task manager causes the same popup, but it does eventually close.

FWIW, I've had the exact same thing twice in the last couple of days.

I've had this happen several times as well. Takes me to:

still hppening

This was me too last night!

I've mostly switched to Chrome for FT as a result. I went back to IE a few minutes ago to test using "back" per earlier poster. For me it didn't work. In using IE, I got the virus screen about two seconds after navigating in FT, so I tried the "backspace" on the keyboard. That didn't close out the virus screen. So I tried the left arrow to navigate out, per post 78 (which I might not have understood), but that didn't work either. Tried the left arrow in combination with other keys, and that also didn't work. What did work for me was right-clicking on the bottom bar on the screen, then clicking on "Task Manager" (which I have now become aware of, thanks to this thread ;) ) and ending the task. That worked. But I still wondered about residual effects, so I just shut the computer down and started over with Chrome.

What I am wondering about is whether the virus screen will lead to any viruses or other malware being installed on our computers. When the technical people at IB find an answer to what is causing the screen appearing, I hope they will let us know what we should be aware of in terms of that possibility. Not everyone uses virus protection over and above that which is already provided by their OS, as for some people,a lot of it doesn't work well with their computers, and for those who do, not every virus protection program screens against all malware. So it would be good to know which virus protection program is effective against this thing, if indeed it is successful in installing itself on some computers.

Maybe I am concerned too soon. Hope so.

This is the link I got just now:

Important message to forum administrators
 

Several times over the last few days I have accessed this [BA Executive Club] forum and have then been automatically redirected to a different page, for instance this one

http://testscanningtasks.pl/690zm52/...84cb2/pr2/196/ (do NOT click on any dialog on the page if you view this, close your browser window).

This page, or similar pages have indicated that Microsoft Security Essentials or McAfee security "has scanned my machine and found that it is infected".

Now, I work for McAfee and know that no such thing has happened.

This is what is known as a malvertisement and or "fake AV" and it is a scam, as my machine is NOT infected. The way the scam works is it says your machine is infected and if you pay a fee it will clean your machine. After you pay, hey presto! you're told your machine is clean, when it likely was all along. It does not clean anything.

You may want to look into who is generating these advertisements on your web site before it gives you a bad name through association.

Are you sure your DNS isn't polluted? Never seen this.

I saw this today too

I have been encountering exactly the same situation for several days.

Yep, I am getting this regularly as well.

I think one of the ad's may be 'infected'.
