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.

Most browsers show a link in the status bar on mouse hover-over. Firefox gives me this message when I hover the cursor over the first ink in the image below, saying that the link has changed. Who generates that message? Is it the mouse hover-over event link text provided by Hubpages? Or does...

While browsing HubPages the past few days, I have been re-directed several times to an official looking page asking me to download an "Urgent Firefox Update." https://eudorbollywoodkhabri.net/718116 … a7f2b.htmlIt has only happened to me while on HP, and since the address of the...

I have been having this problem for months with Hubpages. It may be my ISP - but frankly they don't believe me because ONLY hubpages gives me this problem. Basically about 80% of the time I can't get hubpages to load first time in Firefox (its 100% in Chrome) - it will hang with a white screen or...

I just typed axeladdict dot com into my browser several times in an attempt to reach the HubPages niche site and was redirected each time to suspicious sites. When I used a Firefox incognito window, Firefox blocked it as a deceptive site.Of course the real url is axleaddict.com, but I'm sure there...
