Firefox Blocking Pigeon Watch

[Maidment78]

Morning,

 

Just logged on as part of my morning ritual and the screen showed red saying that Pigeon Watch Forums was an attack page and had been found to host malware from a pirate site called blamesllek.com (do not visit this site as it will not do you any long term favours!) and I should not eneter the site.

 

Anyone else have this show up? bit worrying for this time of the day and put me off my toast,,,,

Same here, you can disable the "block reported attack sites" in Tools-options-uncheck the box-click OK.

 

Apparently it's firefox, why it has highlighted it I don't know,

I had something like this come up yesterday (Evening) while I was logging on to check a PM. My PC asked if I wanted to allow it to run the program so as I did not recognise it I said "No" and cancelled the program - It sounds like I did the right thing. I didn't think any more of it until you posted this up. Well done for bringing it to members attention!

[stu_young]

same here on chrome

[Martin2]

same on firefox then i got a security warning, running full scan to be on the safe side ?

[Billy.]

blamesllek.com is showing a 404 error, so the server is unable to find anything for that domain. Therefore whatever threat was there, is now not.

 

Oh and I didn't get a warning

i've got it too ! had windows media player pop up when i logged on this morning and then got the attack warning page

[mart46]

just got a trojan virus downloader warning when opening PW this morning. I wonder if the site has been hacked. Any mods around to check?

[julesl2000]

I had the same thing, it looks like the PW site may have has malicious code installed or security was compromised? I would be interested to hear from any of the admin team as to what happened and if it is likely to have compromised any users machines that have been browsing to the site.

[kdubya]

I got the same last night my security system moved whatever it was to the "vault" this is the message from vault details/ all seems OK now and a full Scan revealed nothing

 

KW

 

"Detection name";"May be infected by unknown virus Win32/DH.CAFF840097"

[Gobfish]

just got the red flag too , something about my computer being attacked by bloodhound exploit or something like that

[Cranfield]

We have no idea why Firefox has just started declaring Pigeon watch an "attack site".

There are no problems that we can identify and we are taking the matter up with Firefox.

[camo304]

Red flag here to was ok last nite

[Dunkield]

IE8 here and all is fine

 

BTW IE 9 is out in Beta if anyone wants to try it,

and yes, I don't need reminding PW is the spiritual home of the of Firefox fanclub

[Cosd]

Last night I got a pop up window saying thanks for requesting to install windows media player do you want to continue, I closed the box I'm not sure what would have happened if I had pressed 'next' tab!

This morning I got the big red warning box like everyone else.

 

Mods need to check the site in case anything has been downloaded on the site either on purpose or inocently not realising the file contains a virus; It's easily done especially when adding pictures, files or videos from the net.

Actually, most of the internet is becoming the spiritual home for the use of alternative browsers

[MC]

Christ,

 

Surely there are enough geeks on here to say whether it has been hacked or not?

 

I have run a full scan of my laptop and it has found nothing.
