On mine as I recall, about 3 screens popped up saying I have a virus or something and wanted me to click a button to download a fix for it. Then it started listing the viruses and things it found. You might want to read the other 2 threads on this as someone made a better description than I'm doing from a 2 week old memory and they posted an image of the page. I took a photo of one screen and I'll try to remember to post the image when I get home.

On my Dell at work (a university with good security network) where I am now I have noticed sometimes the computer locks up and won't change pages and I have to shut it down to get it going again when on the TOTV site.

That is good to know. You are the first person I recollect stating they were using Firefox when attacked. It took me three hours last night to get "cleaned' and back up and running. Just as another trial , after I got back up , I did a system restore to a month ago. Just something else I thought might help.

Yesterday I got a message from Norton informing me of a problem. It was while I was on TOTV. It blocked "malicious tool kit website 9" Source address: 178.17.163.115.80
I'm using IE.
Googled "malicious tool kit website 9" and found that it affects several other browsers.

OK. Another thought. I am running Firefox with Adblocker Pro. I've had none of the problems listed when on this site and others. Norton scan shows no attacks and Malwarebytes full scan also shows nothing. Could this be coming in a pop-up ad from outside of TOTV?

I've said this before that it may be a link or ad on TOTV. I'm interested in your adblocker program. Does it block all popups?

back again..... no harm no foul
 

I got the same malware hit again just now. It is really hard to determine what I was doing. It was the same signature I saw on 12/15 the last time it happened. Sandboxie prevented it from infecting my computer. I was definitely on TOTV, but that may not mean anything as far as the root cause. Working in computers most of my life, the root cause is always hard to find. In a strange way I find it very interesting and fun to be part of the community to try to provide enough information to try and to solve this puzzle...

I just posted a new thread about Costco and was hit hard with malware warnings! I had multiple threats.

I'll tell you this for sure. If after this post I get those warnings again I'm outta here and not posting again until this problem is fixed. I read that the administrators said all checked out fine and nothing was amiss. Well, there IS something definitely wrong!

I like reading TOTV but not to the point of compromising my computer security. BTW, I use AVG and trust it totally. It has never let me down.

I just have a simple question. For all of you who are getting attacked, where are you getting your Internet Service. I'm looking for commonality. I have spent quite a bit of time at TOTV and I haven't gotten anything, not even a pop up whimper, from anything. The Administrator says everything is clean on his end. Just saying ... the commonality may be the Internet Provider. My Internet comes from Verizon Wireless 4G Broadband.

I'm Comcast.

Comcast.

This is getting scary......several intrusion attempts on my computer, all blocked by Norton Internet Security. Here is the info on the one that just happened around 9:08 p.m.

Web attack: Oracle Java Rhino Script Engine CVE-2011-3544 3

Intrusion attempt blocked www.hoxtrand.com/lampore/0877677567

Attacking computer 212.95.55.24, 80

The last time it happened to me (a few days ago), I was on my laptop writing a TOTV post. I'm using my iPad now.

I'm up north now and my Internet Provider is Time-Warner.

Comcast on my laptop, no trouble with pc. Strange, very strange. And annoying too.

It's an add-on to Firefox, called Adblock Plus. I don't know if it's available for IE or other browsers. I haven't used IE in many years. Yes, I don't get any pop-ups. If a site uses pop-ups, I get a window asking if I want to allow pop-ups on that site for that visit and I can always add an exception to allow pop-ups for a site all the time. But I don't get advertising pop-ups at all.

I also use another add-on called NoScript which prevents any site from running a script. It is a bit more intrusive in that a lot of sites won't function normally unless you allow certain scripts to be run. But the program will show a list of scripts and allow you to allow one or more to be run.

The same just happened to me. I use Century Link.
