Malware???

[BigRedBuster]

Three times today a page on here has tried to download something on my computer.

It just did it again when I clicked on the back button to leave this page.

Have you ran a virus scan on your device?

I haven't experienced this problem before and haven't received any other reports. Have you ruled out a local issue by running a virus scan like @knapplc suggested? May also not hurt to do a complete history/cookies cleansing of your browsing history, and if you have something like CC Cleaner installed your PC, doing that as well.

Not sure if @BigRedMax would have any other insight.

I've had several warnings from my antivirus on my home computer over the last couple weeks.  They always seem to pop up when a page is loading on HuskerBoard.  I'll try to grab the address next time.

It just happened to me for the first time. I simply clicked the tab for loading the home page and got a pop up box asking if I wanted to download the file t.something. Seems a little sketchy.

Gotta be a new ad insert. 

Trust in god, but tie your antivirus tight!

Confirmed.  It's alive.

 

[BigRedMax]

It has been reported to our ad ops. Screen shots would be helpful.

Also, we will be doing a migration to a new faster server and will be upgrading the BBS software as well.

Yes, it's ran every night.  I haven't seen anything.

@BigRedMax It's impossible to do a screen shot because it's so fast.  But, the file is.

f.txt-6.js

It just happened again.  It was 

f.txt-7.js

Are you on an Apple device? That seems to be a Mac-specific issue.

I've done parts of what is in that video but some is assuming I'm running Chrome and I'm not.  I cleared my history.

It just happened again.  I'm sure if the board admin knows about it, it will get cleaned up.
