Thread: Firefox and Chrome saying site is harmful to your computer? (resolved)

Tweet

I just tried to login today and got the page saying this site is harmful to your computer. It contains elements of EDITED

Any idea what's going on?


ADMIN EDITED ERROR as it could cause an error for others

I have no idea what that is!? It's not a website, and I can't find any warnings about it. I opened the site in IE and Firefox and had no problems this morning.

The only reference I could find to veleku.in was in the string code of a JavaScript Unpacker, and I have no idea how that would be affecting your browser. You might try running your own diagnostic and search for elements of veleku.in and see if there's a bad cookie or trojan squatting on your hard drive.

Thanks!.....yeah strange. I did see java try to load up. I'll start running diagnostics etc...

"squatting on something hard!?"(drive)
Never! Good thing it was a Trojan!

I just got the same message. It referred me to this page:
http://google.com/safebrowsing/diagn...ku.in&hl=en-us

When I tried to access halloweenforum.com again the message did not pop up. When this happens isn't it usually something to do with rotating banner ads?

ADMIN EDITED LINK as this would cause an error

Well, I went to my other computer using firefox and got the same thing.

It started out like this: (I have my pc's to ask everytime a cookie is placed whether to accept or block)

-1st it prompted me for cookie Lecrosse.co.cc
-then cookie Veleku.in
-then java tried to kick in to run a script
-then my Avast antivirus kicked in saying: Avast blocked an exploit

Admin edited link

I opened up the index the other day and was prompted to update my java because something on the page needed it, but I ignored it and reloaded the page. It hasn't happened since, and I should have known better to check out what prompted it, sounds like a bad ad is in the rotation. I'm sorry

I just did a scan with Avast! and my computer came up clean, however. I'll keep you updated.

*edit!

Here's information that might be relevant:

-Firefox 3.6.3 on XP
Adblock
Noscript and Flashblock added, but not turned on
-From Edmonton, Alberta
-Encountered on first loading the main index in the evening.
-Prompted Java to load and say it needed to update to display something (or something to that effect, I don't recall verbatim).
-This is a relatively new computer and java updates automatically. Thought I'd throw that in there, since being prompted to download an update for a program that has been updating itself automatically for awhile is a little suspicious

Good luck!

I scanned both my pc's with avast and it came up with nothing. Also, I ran Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and that came up with nothing. I checked Hijackthis log and everything seems fine.

Also, I forgot to add that Adobe tried to kick in as well. I guess that's where the pdf.php was blocked by avast.

Try using ComboFix from bleepingcomputer.com or do a Google on it. Sounds to me like you are already infected with Mal-Ware or something of the like. If you try to run ComboFix and it gives you problems during execution then yepper! you're infected. Any probs, gimme a buzz. I use Firefox almost exclusively and have never gotten a warning from my browser. I use AVG Pro and it's web advisor gives our forum a BIG thumbs up as far as sites go!

Well, not sure what is up cause I have run all sorts of scans and have found nothing.

I have several antivirus programs that run on my pc's all the time, I know all the processes that run at any given time, I watch all my ports and traffic. So, the odds of me even getting a trojan are very low.

The strange thing is that this has happened on 2 pc's. One I only use for forum stuff, youtube, and facebook. I'm at a loss...
