My virus scanner keeps blocking threats from Mumsnet!

[bebejones]

Not sure if this is the right place but my virus scanner (AVG) keeps blocking threats when I am on MN. Then it stops me from using the site until I close it & open it up again. The last one was a 'blackhole' something! Not sure what this is...anyone?

I just had this problem too!
Backdoor/Trojan thing

Microsoft Security Essentials got rid of it for me. And I now have adblock plus (Thanks whoever mentioned that ad on)

I've just had this caution:

Results

that's what i have had mistle

If your running Firefox,try using Adblock plus and flashblock plus.I use both of these and have had no problems at all.

I have just had a warning for a trojan as well. on IE7 with avast.

I had the same warning as mistle, on IE7 with AVG.

I've had a few too.

Latest one this evening popped up in a box saying AVG have blocked a black hole phishing scam.

I pressed close and carried on as normal.

Seems ok so far.

I'd been just looking at active threads.

Mine said what Mistle said! But not had one since Monday

I've just had a message when I got to talk page, antivirus had detected a threat. Had one last week too. Husband is not impressed and is threatening a Mumsnet ban (it's his computer).

Second virus threat detected by Avast this week. Just had a malware warning, not sure what Mumsnet Towers techies are doing about this.

Another one for me too.

I've had one for the first time today, I didn't click on any adverts and none opened themselves.

The message was the same as mistlethrush's

Hello
Sorry this is still happening - afaik techs are still trying to fix but i'll double check
Sorry again
MN TOWERS

Olivia, frankly if you're having trouble identifying the particular ad or ads which are causing this, MNHQ needs to seriously consider removing all adverts from the site until you do so. I have been a forum moderator and that is what we did when we had similar problems.

This keeps happening to me. I actually came to start a new thread to tell you about this MNHQ.

It's happened 3/4 times in the past couple of days. It's when I first log on to the homepage. I use IE7 and Norton.

The last attack report from Norton says

Web Attack: Malicious Toolkit Website 9

Attacking computer
stteeeppone.com (217.116.198.29, 80)

stteeeppone.com/main.php?page=0b1eba0446e855de

I just got exactly the same thing... stteeeppone something......

JS/Exploit.Pdf.PDM.Gen Trojan

Hi, I don't open adverts,ever, but have recently started getting this when opening the homepage - something about Java. I use Avira.

And AGAIN! Just now, same thing........

(I use firefox and ESET).

Will stay off MN unless this can be sorted I think...... have only just managed to clean up my laptop from some foul bit of malware that lodged itself in the depths......

I've had this a few times. Trojan Horse blocked by Avast, using IE8. Last time I was looking at active convos. The problem was something like 180daystogo.com. That's not it exactly but it was along those lines...

This last time I just logged into MN and went straight to active convos.

Have just installed adblock plus now, will see if that makes any difference.....

Ad block also does an add on for google chrome for those of you not using FF. I've not had a problem but then I always have adblock on.
