It brought up one of those faux pages where it makes you think a virus scan is running.

For those who have experienced this issue, please provide the following details:
  • Your operating system + its version.
  • Your web browser + its version.
  • Your anti-virus software + its version.
  • Any warning or error messages given by your browser, operating system, or anti-virus software.
  • If possible, please also include page URLs this occurred on + screen captures.
Thank you for your help in addressing this issue. There will be a period of downtime within the next few weeks to provide updates to the site, and I will have Robotman give a formal announcement about the details as soon as possible.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Browser: Google Chrome 12.0.733dev and IE9
Internet Security: Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 11.0.2.556
There were no warnings from either system.

It happened on the main page when I click on either the Stories or Images section. I'm afraid I did not have time to take a screencapture.

No error messages or warnings, just a straight browser hijack. The hit came as soon as fembotcentral.com loaded.

Man, viruses suck.

Actually, I noted that my browser (the execrable Explorer) redirected me to obviously bogus scam-bullshit two days ago or thereabouts and let my computer do a system-restore while I was at work. So far no recurrances.

Had no inkling that our home here was the source, though. That's kinda disturbing.

Yet -- and it's a grave situation and the administrators have my full, absolute, unequivocal respect and indeed admiration when it comes to their response (and everything else, actually, for that matter) -- a teensy bit ironic?

UPDATE:
I have identified a string of malicious code within our PHP files which I can confirm is targeting those browsing this site with Internet Explorer. I am working to identify its origins so I may properly remove it. Until then, I strongly advise using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

Win XP sp 3

Avast anti virus home edition 5.1.889

Spybot S/D latest version

Firefox 3.6.16

I've visited the site every day in the past week and haven't seen any problems.
