Glen Burnie, MD | foxnews.com infected? Went on there to get info on the somali pirate situation and both under firefox and IE, it looks like the vundo trojan tried to install on my laptop.
Anyone want to verify this? | |

| Re: foxnews.com infected? Not really. I was clicking around looking for info about the somali pirates being killed and the familiar antivirus 2009 screen came up telling me I am severely infected. I managed to shut down most of the popups but I am doing a scan now since this is my backup laptop that has no AV software on it. | |

@comcast.net | Yesterday, I got a random warning from Firefox advising something was up with the page. I got the re-direct with the red hand, but I already forgot what it stated was the issue. However, I've yet to get it since. | |

| I had foxnews.com open and went to eat lunch, came back to a warning about fakeav software trying to be installed. I am assuming since that was the only page open, that it did a refresh and one of the ads being served up on it is infected.

Glen Burnie, MD | I wonder if there a way to monitor the ad sites when they feed these types of trojans.
Seems any site that large would want to do its best not to add to the problem. | |
