"Recent attacks" when I visit modmyi?
My anti-virus (Norton) keeps popping up windows when I visit this site saying "a website just tried to attack your computer but Norton blocked it", it only does it when I come to this site. Never happend up until the past week or so.
Anyone know whats up with that? Is Steve Jobs planting secret code on the site or what?

It's a false positive.
Asking for help is different from being stupid. Fanboys can rot in @#$%!

10-06-2010, 07:02 AM #8Oh geez is this going to turn from a my wireless company is better then yours to a my anti-virus is better then yours? Please, they all do the same damn thing. Chances are people have reported this site to the virus companies as threats and they are marking it as such. Originally Posted by ikesmasher

chances are zero of that, chances are 100% that an ad is tripping things up and we're working on figuring out which one it is and killing it off. Originally Posted by Dayvidpriddy

I agree with ikesmasher. Norton is crap! They may do the same thing, but they have different virus databases which triggers an alert. Use AVG, eTrust, or Malawarebytes. They are MUCH better. Originally Posted by Dayvidpriddy

This is NOT a false alarm. I tested it and it downloaded and executed executable files without permission (exploited the browser + Java VM). It successfully executed the downloaded files on an XP 32 system with IE8 and successfully exploited Java on both it and a 64bit Win7 system (not sure if it got farther because IE's "download blocked" toolbar actually popped up that time).
I tested this TODAY on two fully patched systems and the problem continues.

Yeah I noticed that to tonight, now I'm also getting java script popups with weird messages in them like they are trying to download a song to my pc, there is def something going on with this site. Instead of blaming the users how about fix the problem? I have no virus's on my machine and the problem only happens on this site. OH yea and ads on here are REdiculous lol...
