    I've just been editing the layout of my hubs and have received 2 warnings on 2 seperate hubs from my anti-virus. It stated there was a Trogan Virus attempting to download onto my computer, tho it was blocked..

    See Below.

    12/03/2011 06:34:33    Firefox    Detected: Trojan.JS.Iframe.rr        http:  /worler.com/adserver/display.cfm/731/1534/45613/j/cd/?pbnt=515a4dg%EF%BF%BDt=481643&imprx=20225339       



    Says it is from "wooler.com/adserver"

    EDIT: This would be 9:34pm(9 hours difference) California time, should HP have sheduled times for ads to point this adserver out.

      This may be unrelated but I figured best place to chime in. I've been getting a missing plugin message on firefox while viewing hubs but only when that annoying cartbusters krogers crap is up,which I hate. When you click to install a plugin it says no plugin available for this.

      It's funny stuff happening of that nature that will drive traffic away as everyone is always on the watch for things that mess with their computer and will not go near it. Cause of recent traffic drops? Could be!

        Exact same thing happened to me. Missing plugin and a redirect, I figured it was the worler thingy.

          This coupled with Googles changes is killing every last bit of progress I have made here. Got to say even in last couple days Ive had Hubs that went back to page 1 drop back to page 3 again and I can't help but think it's because of this. I'm really considering moving my work elsewhere.

            My guess is that else-where generally is in much the same state- best to hold in there and wait - it is in Hubpages interest to sort this out quickly.  Someone further up this thread pointed out that Squidoo was hit in the same way a while back so it is not a specific hubpages incident.

    I hope it gets sorted.. Unfortunately I do not know what type of ad it was. I thought it was adense, but I have not been looking at the difference between Hubpages new ads and adsense.

    Maybe Hubpages will know by the timing of the ad unit? I am in the UK so, I believe maybe it was around 8 hours earlier HP time.

      Well, it is 6 hours difference between you and me, then it is also 3 hours difference between Hubpages and me. So you would be close on the time. wink

    I  just got a warning on my anti-virus about a Trojan, while I was trying to view my hubs to check them for the site updates. Not sure if it was to do with an ad. as I had not clicked any, but I do not understand how these things work anyway. Not sure of the time but it was in the last 45 mins.

    Think I might run a scan just to be sure everything is OK, I am not too good on the technical side of things.

    Just an update. Even tho my anti-virus said that this virus was blocked. It did get into my computer. I had 2 Trojan virus'and 3 Phishing URL virus' enter. I did not click in any ad. This virus just appeared.

    Just so everyone is aware!

    HTML:IFrame-JS [Trj] is a detection for a trojan that injects itself as an IFrame on webpages. This infection will lead to malicious actions such as browser redirection and downloading of other web-based malware and backdoor trojan on to the computer. Since the infected files are located on the remote server, a webpage itself, HTML:IFrame-JS [Trj] can only be cleaned by the web authors. Though, visitors of that website can be infected, they can also avoid being compromised by not executing prompts and closing a redirected website. Presence of updated antivirus and security programs can also prevent infections from HTML:IFrame-JS [Trj].

    I haven't seen that warning from my own virus protection, but I heard about it from one of my friends. This could be a real threat to HP, as people will rightfully block the site if it carries viruses.

    I hope this is attended to immediately.

  9. TerryGl profile image57
    TerryGlposted 13 years ago

    It would appear this is a result of the new ad program to be rolled out in June that Hubpages is promoting at the moment. You obviously have these new ads being shown on your hubs

    If I was visiting a Hubpage and got that warning pop up, then I would leave promptly. Also, Google will mark the site as unsafe in the serps.

    Is it just me or is someone else hearing the alarm bells going off, too!

      Not just you, Terry!

      From what I have read about this virus it is a new threat only detected today, but a member of staff is already working on it. What I find disturbing is that 2uesday reported a similar incident 2 hours AFTER the team were informed.

    2. Aware1 profile image59
      Aware1posted 13 years agoin reply to this

      Yep, it is rather alarming and the last thing HP needs at this time (or any time really).

      Visitors can very well be getting a warning upon entering articles, and yes, google can flag HP as "this site may be comprimised". NOT GOOD!

      The fact that people have the power to block any site from appearing in there search results (permanently) now puts much more pressure on sites.

    Just as a quick note, if anyone ever suffers such a virus I suggest you go to Malwarebytes dot com. They have a free download of software to scan your computer and remove such infections.

    I have used it quite successfully in getting rid of one or two nasties in the past. Easy to follow instructions and great to have to manually scan your computer once a week.

      Michael, you may want to run a scan of your computer. This warning TWICE said that it was denied download by my anti-virus software. BUT, I ran a scan and had TWO Trogan Virus' and 3 Phishing URL virus'.

      AND it fragmented my computer. I had run a computer maintenece check and noticed this virus fragged and nocked out 32 drivers on my computer...

      Please scan you computer.

    If anyone does a search for worler dot com do not under any circumstances click on the links as your computer will get infected.

    This virus changes files on your computer and if you work on your own sites, such as html or Wordpress, you will infect them.

    Like I said before, download Malwarebytes and run it. Just because your virus program says it has blocked the threat, you will still need to do it.

    I wrote a hub on the eval virus and to this day is receiving a lot of traffic. If you get a virus it is a very extreme hard "fix".

    Seems the problem is well known back to 14 December 2010.

    Here's a quick quote:

    "The preferred vehicles for these annoyances are actually banner ads (though they can also load via e-mail or pop-ups) that do not require a click to initiate downloads. Instead,  the user’s browser tries to (and thinks it is!) load an advertisement but is in fact already downloading malware onto the computer."

    Not sure if this indicates anything but......I just went to a hub page and the ads quickly loaded except the big one at the top right under profile. It was slower to load.
    When it finally loaded and it was an animated ad.....My anti-virus immediately showed a Warning and then denied it.

    Not sure who was the source of the Ad, but the specific ad was the Mormon.org. I am wondering if this is an Adsense Ad or one of the new ones in the new program? I didn't check properties over it since I was not going to risk an infection.

    I have been editing hubs for most of the day and had read this thread earlier today.   I ran Spybot and all appeared ok.

    I continued editing and when I got into one hub it immediately popped up trying open Java, and I started getting all kinds of warnings popping up about a virus.  I quickly tried to run Spybot and Malware programs. It had blocked them.  I tried to get to my control panel and it blocked it too. It took over my wallpaper and replaced it with a badly spelled message about needing to clean up my computer.   I found another way to get to the control panel and as soon as I got in it immediately rebooted my computer. 

    Luckily, my husband was persistent and was finally able to restore my computer to yesterday and I've since run all virus programs and done some additional cleaning.  I'm not planning on doing any more editing for a few days.

    The below message is what AVG Surf-Shield came up with when I went to Patty English's Hub.

    The page you are trying to access has been identified as a known exploit, phishing, or social engineering web site and therefore has been blocked for your safety. Without protection, such as that in the AVG Security Toolbar and AVG, your computer is at risk of being compromised, corrupted or having your identity stolen. Please follow one of the suggestions below to continue.

    The threat was blocked.

    That was in one box. Threat Detected came up in a separate box.

    What was in that box was the file name - mld1.co.cc/index.php?tp=7903472c292fded4

    Threat name- Exploit Blackhole Exploit Kit(type1889)

    The present ads at the time of the threat- came from www dot art dot com/photostoart?=idcore9 and www dot art dot com/asp/landing/saturdayeveningpost?=idcore9 , and javascript:adclicked (clicklinevarname4478305872)

    It didn't make through my virus shield.

    Izzy, I'm pretty ignorant about viruses and such, but:

    I use FF (3.6.15) and Security Essentials.  I looked at probably 200 hubs yesterday and 20 or 30 profiles.  The only problem I found was some popup wanting me to install more java to work right.

    After all the fuss I did a full scan with MSE and found only 3 adware files that were all several days old at least.  No real attacks.

      Now then that is interesting. rmr said on this other thread ( http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/70119#post1528392 ) that he is getting missing plugins messages which ties in with your java warnings. Chances are your version is safe.
      Everyone should go update their Firefox, or switch browsers until this is fixed.

        Yes, that is exactly what I'm getting, and like rmr I didn't take any chances and did not load the plugin.  It seemed to be to view an ad (which I'm not real interested in!).  Maybe I'll do it in a couple of weeks when this is all over.

  39. Keith Worth profile image60
    Keith Worthposted 13 years ago

    I hate to draw more attention to this by bumping it but the subject really needs to be addressed before this becomes some kind of cyber panic.

    I've continued on, business as usual, for the last few days despite being fully aware of this thread and the problem. During this time I've read several hubs, made comments, published and edited hubs. Once, and only once, did I have a problem (it was the same one described verbatim about the AVG warning and a known exploit) while running Firefox(most recent update). Since then I've ran both Malware Bytes and the AVG scan once a day (never do this at the same time, that's actually counter-productive) with no infections resulting. If you have up to date virus protection - which anyone even remotely computer literate should - and an up to date internet browser - see previous hyphened note - then you should be fine. If you don't have either of the above, AVG has a free version that is better than most paid services (Norton and McAfee, looking at you two space-hogs here) and most browsers prompt you to update them upon opening them so you'd have to actively try to be outdated with them. Yes, it may have an impact on our traffic by scaring off a few people, but if you jump ship then you'll be getting no traffic from here anyway so it's a moot point.

    As for the constantly referenced Google changes, by now anyone who has been on the web for a minute should be used to such things. Google has to rework their rankings ever so often due to spammers and others who have "figured out the system" exploiting it to farm content. A lot of such exploiters were here on HubPages and HP has responded to the changes in Google by making it harder to spam or otherwise exploit the system. Once the changes distinguish it from the "content farms", affiliate scams and other spam, it will rise in the ranks again. Then new exploits will rise and the system will repeat, it's the economics of the internet.

    To summarize a very long post: the virus situation will be dealt with. Traffic will stabilize soon and the Hubbers' life will continue. Then in a couple of years I'll probably be copying and pasting this again when Google conducts another re-rank. And still the Hublife will go on. Now I'm off to edit some hubs and see if I have the energy to post another one before bed.

      Thanks Keith. Your thoughts are not only encouraging but true. We run scared when this type of thing happens and I look forward to HP's address to this.

      I admit I was intimidated when I saw the pop ups appear. Luckily I was not infected. With anything new, bugs have to be worked out.

      Over the last 24 hours I have not had any more issues, so I'm hoping this has been removed.

    I have been on and off hubs all day today and haven't had any problems whatsoever. I'm running Firefox, like many others. I ran into the problem as I stated earlier in this thread, but since then, nothing. wink

    If the site gets flagged for leading to Malware then we are all pretty much in the deep in terms of rankings, I had it happen to a site once and it never recovered sad

      Oli, from what I can tell it's been fixed so far. The ad networks have been removed until it can be identified on which one is doing it. wink

    It has NOT been fixed. I just recieved an e-mail from someone who picked up a trojan after visiting one of my hubs. Needless to say I feel terrible and am really upset. I have since unpublished this hub and I have contacted Hubpages.

    I'm not happy....At All!

    I am afraid to promote any of my hubs.

      Wendy, did you receive that email today? Because, the ad network was pulled and I've not encountered any problems whatsoever on hubs.

      Did it happen this weekend maybe?


      Edit: I've promoted by Hubs today and no problems. smile

        Yes, I added my hub to Redgage today. I emailed him back asking him what add or link he clicked on. I haven't heard back from him yet.

          I was curious, because I ran into the problem over the weekend, but nothing today, because the ads network was pulled because of an infection which staff is trying to figure out.

          That is why I was wondering if you received(dated today) and not from someone over the weekend. wink
