Browser hijacking?

Unread post by Nurann »

Has anyone else been having trouble with their web browser getting hijacked? I can't tell if the virus is from facebook, fanfiction.net, or one of the other sites I visit, but I know some of you guys go to these sites as well and I was wondering if anyone else way having problems?

Hmmm

Well sometimes I get a pop up stating that my security network has detected a 'malicious'... er something or other when I check my messages on Deviant Art. But I've had no trouble with fanfiction (I have yet to get a facebook....)

Malicious software. It includes things like viruses, and is basically what I'm having trouble with right now. The problem is where your virus protection is catching it, mine isn't. Right now I'm using a free online virus scan to get rid of the problem but it's only after I've been re-infected that I find out something is wrong. What I'd like to do is figure out where the slag the infection keeps downloading from so I can stay the heck away from it! If someone else has been having probelms, I thought it might narrow the list a little bit.... bah...
