Spam on chrome through Arbtalk

OK,

 

 

3rd party adverts perhaps?

 

That was my thought.

That was my thought.

 

Thats how the BBC ended up serving malware although the attack was dileraberate, they just bought advertising space & slung malware from the ads.

 

Its possible an advertiser could submit a vulnerable script in their ads & be unaware of the exploit.

 

Anyone got a URL for the malware yet, or does it vary?

That's the only thing I can think of, but as far as I know it would need ads to be using Flash. Which I don't think any of them are. There may be other ways I guess, but it's not something I know very much about.

I think there's a couple but they are in house adverts

Should'nt tempt fate, but not had it since I followed your recommendation to install malwarebytes.

i've just had it again, but sorry cant give any details, as its beyond me how to find any details out about these things.

[Justme]

Not had it for a while but to be honest not been around as much lately as it was peeing me right off.

I really need someone who is getting this consistently to help. I plan to turn off the adverts tonight at 9pm. If some of you guys can be present and have a real good browse of the forums for 5-10 minutes to see if you can get the pop up that could be a big help.
