Malicious Software
Feb 3 2009, 12:21 PM EST
Anyone that comes across a person on your site by the user name- frontyjr - Do not click on anything on their profile page, ban them and make note on your site so that everyone knows.The reason for this is that once you click on anything, it sends you to a different malicious site. Please...Let everyone know you can... Thanks... 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Please send me the URL for the wiki where you encountered this issue. We shouldn't be so quick to blame it on a specific user. It may be your computer. frontyjr may not have anything to do with the spyware.-Moderator Baby Apple 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

"Well, I highly doubt its my computer. If you knew me you would understand. But, yeah, if you wouldn't mind checking it out that would be great.It's highly doubtable that this is the user. This is becoming a rapidly growing problem - Wetpaint needs to isolate the source quickly before it spreads all over the network. Do you find this valuable? |

The source is in one of our ads. We are doing everything we can to remove the virus.

"The source is in one of our ads. We are doing everything we can to remove the virus."That's good that you've found this out, but there are millions of ads. Tricky stuff. I wish I could help more. Do you find this valuable? |

It is most likely one ad that is causing the problem.

How can you be sure that ads are causing it?I don't mean to be rude but Wetpaint is the one that puts them up there, don't you check before hand? Or do you just allow any ad to display things? Do you find this valuable? |

"I don't mean to be rude but Wetpaint is the one that puts them up there, don't you check before hand? Or do you just allow any ad to display things?"The new ads have been removed and the problem has been solved. This is a fault with the ad publishers, not Wetpaint. They have not checked before publishing the ads. Wetpaint has now gone back to using Google Ads. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
