URGENT: FAO NEIL: efestivals - malicious site link.

[Mr Ploppy]

Neil: What is happening please, everytime I go onto efestivals I am getting a malicious site warning.

blocked site access to malicious site nextgirl.cn/promo/index.php

Have emailed Neil directly but thought it sensible to post on the board too in case anyone does not have the heavy security I have and gets infected with something. I am not sure how you could get infected but if your system is not giving you a warning or you dont have proper internet security it may be a good idea to install some.

Only posting this as advice and dont know the consequences of this malicious site warning, hopefully Neil can post on here to advise the threat level.

UPDATE:-

This is what is on the Norton website about the nextgirl.cn site...

UPDATE 2:

Dont think there is a problem with wikipedia as I had only just closed my efestivals link so maybe it was still being picked up there.

UPDATE 3

Did a complete wipe of all internet history, cache, cookies, etc etc and browsed a few sites. The malicious site warning did not appear until I came back to efestivals.

Haven't had it on other sites, only here. Is it doing damage at all? I'm running a scan but it doesn't seem to be picking it up.

Same here. Ever since I updated my AVG Anti-virus. How odd.

[wigstonmania]

i got this also

[strudders]

Guys would help if you reported it to the Website wish list and problems in the first instance.

However I am getting it as well and I use Avast.

and I have reported it...

[scaryclaireyfairy]

i have avast and am not getting any malicious content warning, but the main page is all to cock. maybe neil is fixing it?

eta: though i havea pop-up/ad blocker thingy (i assume since i never see ads anywhere!). i'm not technically gifted but i imagine that's why i'm not getting the warning.

[reni]

Anyone noticed you can't use the back tab on the forum...huh what's occurring?

[Okky]

For once something that works on this shit piece of mac and not pc (apart from my dads ego)

[Wooderson]

Im getting this shite with Firefox. Norton spotted for me aswell. Get it sorted Neil.

[irons]

Where is Niel?, surely not at an African festival. I've looked into it. It seems to effect pop ups, don't think it's harming our pc's. I'd do a virus check to be sure thou.

[ampersand]

its saying a lot of weird shit at the bottom left on chrome. like 'wating for nextgirl.cn' and clients1.google.co.uk' odd stuff.

From what I can tell its a javascript code thats trying to open a popup - think its possibly one of the adverts thats causing it (?)

Use a popup blocker and ensure u have antivirus protection
