[Solved] Malware Detected!

[biggman15]

Just a little bit ago, I was attempting to get to this site and something on my computer started blocking me... I don't know whether it was Chrome, Avast, or one of the other things running on my computer... but anyway, I normally use chrome to surf the web... and when I came here it blocked me because of some connection to digimonspirit.net...

I switched to firefox with Noscript to post this...

Just thought you guys should know...

We are listed in the digimonspirit.net topsite list and therefore I have the button at the bottom of the page so it can track the visitor numbers and rank us #1 as it has been.

Now that you say this, I tried going to digimonspirit and I'm getting:

Reported Attack Page!

This web page at digimonspirit.net has been reported as an attack page and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

I have talked to the owner before and I know it isn't something they would have done. Looking at the message google gives me I'd be willing to bet the site was hacked into and:

How did this happen?

In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.

I'll contact the owner and see what they have to say about it.

It could either be that, or someone falsely reported the site. Google usually has information about it, but they don't say anything about it, which kind of leads me to believe it's a false report.

For now I have removed the topsite button, hopefully you aren't getting the error message anymore.

Yeah that was rather annoying.... Eh at least we dont get that message anymore

I just visited that site myself with Firefox and nothing came up. I have Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 3.0 and it comes up with a message when it says there is a virus or Malware on a site. That never popped up, so I am assuming that it is just a false report as you think, Koby.

everything seems fine now... Thank you!

yeah i just tried and firefox said fuck you this is attack site so yeah something is up

I hope that they get that fixed soon. I didn't have a problem since the link was removed, but Norton anti-virus hates a lot of web sites.

Google is the only site that seems to be calling it a potential attack site for me. If I access it via Google it says it is a potential attack site, but if I access it by the normal url http://www.digimonspirit.net, it loads the page with no problems, except in Google Chrome.

EDIT: This is what I get by just going to digimonspirit.net with Firefox:

I haven't clicked anything either after navigating there.

In FireFox it tells me it's a reported site attack.

If you are getting the message shown in the first post, it is recommended to download MalWarebyte's AntiMalware and/or Super AntiMalware (the free versions) and run a scan to see if you have a rouge on your computer.

The message I am getting is not a fake.

The link 'get me out of here' takes me to google's home page and the other link takes me to the normal google page that details why it was flagged as a reported site attack.

Update: The site owner contacted me back.

She said she noticed it too and it's not the first time. Someone hacked her site and installed malware. She's working on getting it fixed.

Edit: as the situation appears to be resolved im going to close this topic in order to prevent spam
