Spam on forum

#1 Post by Toley » 01 Jun 2014 20:04

I receive spam message (kind of lottery win) when I navigate on this forum. Never get that before, and don't have it anywhere else. I'm using Firefox 29.0.1 and Windows 7.

edit : This is the page that pops up

Hi Toley,

Thank you for providing us this information.

I have also checked our forums with Firefox 29.0.1 and Windows 7,
but I didn't get this popup window. Also, we didn't receive any complaints
from other forum users.

This look like malware advertisement and your computer might be infected
with it. Please update your antivirus(internet security) program and scan your
computer.

For precaution purposes I will check if everything is alright by server side.

Sorry if this has caused you any inconvenience.

Have a nice day.

Hi Toley,

That is very strange. For this purpose i have requested
a security status of the website from Symantec Trust Center.
The results are attached within this post and they show that
there are no malwares on our website. Please, check your computer
for malware and adware.

Have a nice day.
