    In progress Ads on forum contain malware

    Post by Scorpio2 February 1st 2020, 10:13 pm

    It has been brought to my attention by a forum user that while using the forum they have received the following message.


    Malicious Site Blocked!
    You attempted to access:
    https://www.adexchangeguru.com/script/i ... QiQWfkG51S
    This web page is a known malicious web page. It is highly recommended that you do NOT visit this page.

    Visit
    Norton

    This has been a reoccurring issue on our forum and we believe that it is due to the advertisements that are hosted on the forum due to the fact our forum is a free one and i have have purchased any additional packages.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Is this exactly happening to all members or just certain ones?  After doing some research, I found out that adexchangeguru. could be a redirect (virus):  https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-adexchangeguru-com/

    I also do not encounter any issues loading your forum.


    P.S.  You need to remove what you have in your profile for the forum field.

    Hello,

    The team is working on this problem in order to exclude the domain adexchangeguru.com. It should be online in few minutes, please let us know if the impacted members continue to have the issue.

    If yes, can you give us:

    - The link of the page where we can reproduce the problem.
    - The country of the member.
