Hey IT savvy Hubbers
I keep getting an anti-virus blocked message while reading different hubs stating -"Network traffic from worler.com matches the signature of a known attack."
Is this a true virus attack or it is Norton being crazy and blocking something it should not be?
Money Glitch you really need to pop over onto the thread http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/70100?p … ost1527879 as your computer might be compromised.
I did a search however did not click on any links. Thanks, for the warning though
Thanks Irohner, I figured that I probably had missed something.
Just for interest, is everyone who is getting attacked using Firefox?
I had a scary warning this morning about a hubpage wanting to attack with a trojan. It offered me options like quit or proceeding under caution - a red IE message - never seen it before.
My first thought was "what the hell are Google doing to us now" - which is slightly paranoid I suppose.
So were a couple of others, but then again I suppose most Hubpages users are. Probably no connection...
Its just that I did a search for the "Trojan.JS.Iframe.rr" and there are a few results. I did the same search and added "Firefox" (without the quotes) and there were a few results. Then I replaced Firefox with firstly Chrome, then IE, then Opera, then Safari and there are no sign of the malware in the results.
That suggests to me there might be a security gap in Firefox.
LOL, came free with mine too - still wouldn't want to use it! Anyway no it was just an idea I had that maybe this trojan was getting in through a specific browser...but you've just blown a hole in that theory.
Anyone else had issues?
I haven't, at least not yet. Using Chrome.

Adsense sent me a message that says that my publisher ID is not in my Hubpages and HowTheyPlay ads.text files. My earnings are fine generally, not too concerned, just wanted to bring the issue to your attention.

What happened to my little blue tip box I have become so attached to? I let me know how many words I had, if an image was not clear enough, and let me know when my hub was presentable and ready to publish.
