Flash Player redirect?

[bluetailsfox11]

The weirdest thing just happened.

I was browsing over at the General info board, and suddenly i was redirected to (https://)eezaeaolarticles.org/5632886218063/f03a20214cefed13a3193146e75c2236(.html)

It told me I needed to update my Flash player and stared to download FlashPlayer.exe
I know it may be a virus or a worm or whatever so I canceled the download, but has anyone experienced this or know anything about it? This is the first time its happened.

I think you best take that live link off the forum asap incase someone clicks on it!

I've not seen it myself - but thanks for sharing. I hope if someone else HAS seen this they let the admin know by commenting on this thread.

We don't want anything going wrong with our Forum.

Perhaps run a safety check on your own device incase it was just something at your end? Did you have any other windows open at the time?

Done. I dont think it was anything on my end. Ran a Norton and my own scan and nothing backdoor or anything. Weird.

Very weird. Let's hope it doesn't happen again then.

Cheers for highlighting it, just in case.
