Still getting these malware ads when the page fully loads. Fortunately, these threats can't attack iPhone OS.

Unfortunately, only 1 existing virus is on the iPhone, and that is only a harmless virus attainable through jailbreaking. So Im 99% sure the problem is coming from this site.

So, as much as a fan I am of this game, I will certainly discontinue playing if this continues to happen.

While the original source might have been a bad banner ad, I recommend running SpyBot and AdAware to remove any traces on your computer.

Can you get a list of these ads? Our ad provider keeps telling us they've removed the ads, but it seems pretty clear they're wrong. If I can give them a list of the ads they'll be able to remove them; otherwise I'm not sure what the alternative is unless we find a different ad provider (which would take some time).


I just got one. It's about the seventh one today, but Norton caught this one. Norton claims that the "attacker url" is malware-online-scanner.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=adver354

Hope that helps, because this is getting ridiculous.

I suppose I could also report the ISP of the attacking computer:

source addr: 212.117.161.142
computer addr: 212.117.161.142, 80

Thanks for that. I haven't had any redirects in the past 20 min or so, but if there is any change, I'll be sure to let you know.

In the meanwhile, I would once again like to recommend to everyone who thinks their computers might have been affected by malware to run SpyBot and AdAware -- standard antivirus software doesn't always catch all spyware, and you want to make sure that you have removed anything that might have installed itself via one of those bad banners.
