I was just hijacked again this morning!!!!
I took Evan's advice (Kartek) and switched my "forum skin" to: low graphics - dialup style (no gallery) and the redirects stopped for now. Hopefully this crap won't be happening again. If this doesn't work, you guys will be seeing MUCH less of me in the future.

(1) switch to the normal ShopForum style (I normally have it set to "low graphics" just because I prefer the cleaner look) (2) disable Adblock Plus in Firefox. I'll be curious to know what others find out about this. |

I'm getting it too now. Using developer toolbar to delete/screw with the advertising cookies seems to stop them.
Can't blast it with a shot gun...but I do have access to a 10Gbit server that most likely has enough power to blast him off the internet...

Mac / Safari virus
Several Mac/Safari users have emailed me lately about seeing popup ads on our website. We do not have any popup ads on our site.
Evidently, there is a virus currently running around that affects Macs. The virus looks for a Google ad on a website and redirects to another website...usually Russian. There is a discussion of this exploit over at the Apple Support forums website. Here's a link: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1574873&stqc=true The fix mentioned is to use the DNSChanger Removal Tool offered here: http://macscan.securemac.com/files/DNSChangerRemovalTool.dmg Since I don't have a Mac I cannot say if the fix works or not. Here's another article that seems to be related to this issue: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/03/06/googe_iframe_piggybacking/

More info from the SecureMac website...
SecureMac posted this:
1.09.2008 News SecureMac has released a free utility called DNSChanger Removal Tool to remove the DNSChanger Trojan Horse, also known as OSX.RSPlug.A and OSX/Puper, which has been found on numerous pornographic websites disguising itself as a video codec. Once downloaded and installed, DNSChanger changes the DNS settings on the computer, redirecting websites entered by the user to malicious sites. If personal information is entered on these malicious websites, it can lead to identity theft. If the DNSChanger trojan horse is detected, DNSChanger Removal Tool will give you the option to remove it. If the DNSChanger trojan horse is detected and removed, you will need to restart your computer to clear out the bad DNS entries added by the DNSChanger Trojan Horse. Download DNSTrojan Removal Tool. This detection and removal is also available in MacScan.

OK I was redirected several time today. But I am glad I found this post.
See pic as to where I was redirected. I have Windows XP running Mozilla. This issue needs to be fix ASAP!

Cannot duplicate the problem
So far, I have been unable to duplicate the problem on any of my computers. I don't have a Mac but I do have computers running Windows Vista, XP Pro, Server 2003, Ubuntu and CentOS. Browsers include IE, Firefox and SeaMonkey.
I need specifics to troubleshoot this further: - Type of computer - Operating system - Browser - URL of page on the forum you were visiting when the redirect occurred - What exactly were you doing when redirect occured? (ex- searching, posting, editing a post, clicking on an ad, looking at New Posts, etc) - Which Shop Forum "Style" are you using? (look in the lower left corner of this page) examples- Normal style, Low Graphics-Dialup style.

iFrame redirects
I'm still searching to find out what may be causing these redirect popups. Right now I am researching something called an "iFrame redirect".
More info here: http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/695 Basically, the attacker uses cached search results to create a redirect. So far, I can't confirm that this is the cause of the redirect problem some people as having on our website or not.
