SDN Malware? Wtf?

[Hemorrage]

Is there any reason why Chrome is telling me SDN is distributing malware? I keep getting this error when visiting.

Anyone else getting this?

Then use IE?

My mac was getting requests from SDN to allow access from a "advancedquality.com"

 

[LondonBridge]

Same here! I got a pop up asking me if I want to allow some weird file to download onto my computer.

 

[Hemorrage]

SDN staff should get on this... i think the advertisers are striking at us

 

[CopaceticOne]

Come on guys... It isn't SDN that is doing this rather it is malicious ads that have slipped into the advertisement service that they use (via a 3rd party company) to help generate revenue.

How quaint. I didn't know anyone still used IE. 😀

 

[phnerd1105]

Then use IE?

Wait...people still use IE?

 

[Santorum Surge]

Wait...people still use IE?

Lulz. I can't think of the exact wording, but there's a joke that goes something like: "I thought it would be fun to design the worst internet browser ever...but then I realized Internet Explorer 9 already existed.

Fyi Trend Micro goes crazy every time I get to sdn.

Not that however my SDN app was acting really strange yesterday.

Im pretty sure what I was seeing yesterday wasn't a normal ad. There was java app in another language trying to download something onto my computer?

 

[Hemorrage]

Yeah I'm getting that now, chrome keeps asking me to allow a java plugin to run wtf?

I aint doin ****!

 

[OldBat]

I worked for the Federal government and SDN was a blocked web site because it was deemed as being malicious. Which meant it had viruses etc. We used IE6

 

[xXIDaShizIXx]

Same exact thing. I didn't allow it and its being really slow for some reason.

haha nice

I keep getting a pop up with some spanish words trying to download on my computer too. I let family members use my computer, so it is possible that they picked up something. I used my adware/spyware software and thought it deleted it but apparently not. I may try a restoring point.

I think we are seeing the same thing, but I only see when I open the SDN front page. I don't know why mods aren't giving this issue more attention... 👎

Really?!?! Mods = moderators

They are not the technical people for the website. Have you reported what you are seeing to the SDN helpdesk? If not, then quit complaining.

I would like to think that CuttingCorneas is correct. Perhaps it is just a test. 😎

So aggressive... It's ok, the mods can ignore the thread and not report it to their higher ups. I'm sure that's what they're supposed to do in a situation like this.

It has been reported and people with the necessary website access are investigating the issue.

I've recently been using Opera, it's a very good browser for all purpose browsing.

Adblock FTW!

I generally try not to use it so that sites can continue to get their ad revenue, but sometimes it's a good idea.

Whoops, sorry about that. 😳 Some frustrations from my previous career apparently still linger inside me.

 

[Scalpels]

Haven't gotten any warnings from Chrome and Avast gives this website a good rating.

Then again, I have all advertisements from any location blocked by using a Hosts file.

 

[centrigeugle]

What ads?

 

[CopaceticOne]

What ads?

I see what you did there.
