Anyone else experiencing this site being redirected to various ad sites?

 

[Away Point]

Seems to have stopped now. Guess one of the ad servers was misbehavin'.

http://www.malwarebytes.org/ easy, thorough, good to go. I think you has been hijacked!!

While it's possible, I don't think it was on my end. Thanks for the link though.

You opened that fashion thread too, eh?

 

[Away Point]

Probably pointless, but here's a couple of screen dumps...

Happened to me last night. It happened so fast I could not see which banner ad was causing it. My computer is malware free it was this site.

I have banners blocked and have not seen it so I suspect you are right.

Happened to me this morning, although I was prompted to navigate away and I didn't let it do that. Had to shut down the tab as it kept prompting.

Well I just removed a particularly nasty bit of malware.

I got the redirect using Firefox and I just assumed it was one of the ads. No harm.

After I read this thread I was curious to see which ad. I used IE6(my mistake) and kept reloading the page until the offending ad showed up.

It finally redirected to some search page but I missed which ad it was. My computer restarted by itself. When it came back up there was a red x in the tray on my taskbar that kept saying I was infected.

A little research showed these were the culprit braviax.exe cru629.dat users32.dat

The times on the files were within a minute of the redirect so I know the malware came from where ever the browser got redirected to.

It did not come from LSCN but there is a bad ad in the rotation.

I saw this last night too. I had numerous pages open on my PC, so I wasn't sure which site did the redirect. I quickly dropped my ISP connection and shutdown the PC. At least I'm glad to know it wasn't just me, and you guys are confirming it was this site (takes the mystery away)

 

[tcg]

The ad doing the redirect says Enjoy This Site and then redirects to which ever site is in the banner.

[Snowbi-Wan]

Happening here too. LCN get hacked or something?

 

[Jazzy]

Here too, went straight to a clothing ad!

 

[Away Point]

It's definitely an over-achieving ad. It self-clicks!

 

[Soo Sassy]

It's terrible!
