Hi all,

I got a report that there are popups occuring on the site. Have any of you noticed them occuring? There shouldn't be any at all, but if there are, I would like to know where they are occuring so that I can get rid of them.

Best,
Haken

Haken, some of the scripts that were for a time pasted on the right side of the main page by these berks were exploits aimed at older and unpatched browsers, the usual hostile java popup/redirect thing to scummy malware sites/links.

I had to dig that crap out of the PCs of two other FF Fans, and it was some pretty awful stuff.

We REALLY need to make sure none of them scripts are still floatin around - and inform folk that if you come to FFF Net and suddenly get a popup or cascade of them, followed by a re-direct, you need to quarantine/disinfect the machine.

It was some seriously nasty stuff, mano.

Yeah, I removed all the ones I know of and the site should be clean now. However, if someone comes across one, please let me know exactly where so that I can either clean it or remove it completely.
