If this were a virus on FT, we'd be seeing hundreds of reports, not just one ;) |
I've been having problems with Flyertalk (ads?) over the last couple of weeks, which is annoying as it's probably the website I visit more than any other! The most frequent problem is when browsing the forums, I click to the next page of a topic and seconds later am auto-forwarded to a suspicious looking shopping website called aliexpress.com (they don't get good reviews!). This has happened both at home using Chrome and at work using Firefox.
In addition, I've had lots of "flash plugin has frozen / crashed" style messages but those can easily be ignored. Tonight, however, an ad at the top of a forum index page (hotel deals) had a fake-looking "click here to upgrade" style message, of the kind I would never click on (but some people may). Going into a topic on the page however then saw "setup.jse" downloaded onto my computer. I have a decent anti-virus and would never open the file but this is a worry. I've not had this issue on any other website, and my PC is only a few weeks old. Anyone else had similar? Cheers Steve |

I do this every couple of days as a rule. It doesn't seem to make a difference.
