Possible malware imbedded here?

[NiteMare Shape]

Had to go and manually put it back on the classic skin. No more trojan warnings and the forum seems to work so much better.

hopefully it can be sorted, it's kinda got me worried, i've scanned with avg, spybot, superanti and ad aware and i've found nothing with any of them

Avira is detecting the virus: "HTML/Crypted.Gen".
At the moment it spots it on every page load (with the blue default scheme) with a message saying the url http://www.livestats.co.cc.script.js is the (current) culprit.

Even more suspicious is that URL isn't listed in anywhere is adblock's options for the page, so it looks like something nasty snuck into the scripts for the blue scheme somewhere.

Also still getting pop-ups which should not happen. Adblock is at least stopping the content from loading but the pop-up shouldnt occur in the first place.

I closed it and got this (this time I got the bottom ad in the scr too.

Switch to another forum skin for now. That seems to be the problem. I'm back to using the classic skin.

Things had been fine with this new layout, but just now as I was on the Hype I got a blue screen and had to restart my computer. Here's what the Microsoft Error Report said when I was done reporting it:

You received this message because a device driver installed on your computer caused Windows to stop unexpectedly. This type of error is referred to as a "stop error." A stop error requires you to restart your computer.

The only thing I've installed lately is ClamWin Free Antivirus. I'd been running a virus scan with it for ages, but it didn't get a chance to finish before my system got screwed up

Ive been getting that blue screen A LOT lately

I think Wieg means the Classis Redux theme.

i've switched back to the Classic Skin, which is my fave

i've tried entering my control panel to delete Acrobat but I keep getting this :

could the malware be preventing me from doing so?

 

[ComicChick]

i'm going to try and restart my computer to see if i'll be able to delete acrobat

i wonder if the hype problems have anything to do with my desktop taking forever to start up

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

logged in from home via Firefox and am not seeing the virus message although I swore I saw that Chinese websites URL in my page load.

Also that virus triggered McAfee enough times at my office the past 3 days that Websense has now blocked the Hype forums as a "Malicious website"

 

[Drakon]

We think we got the blue theme fixed. Let us know if anything else seems amiss with it.

 

[AndThePickles]

Spoons can't post at work anymore, either...website got blocked

 

[Drakon]

That makes me a sad pandaren.

 

[That-Guy]

I've been hit with a virus on two different computers every time I've visited the Hype boards in the last few days. My home computer instantly blocks it (thank God) but the other one I've used (at work, I know, bad employee) tells me that there is a bad script on the page. Neither gives much info, so I'm sorry I can't be more help.

When I come to the boards, it'll say for a split second 'waiting for akademikerzeitung.ch' for a microsecond before saying 'done'. No Norton Antivirus notices, No Adobe problems, and no problems surfing the boards. And it only says that when a new page of the boards shows up for the first time.

I'm running Norton Internet Security and it detected the attack and blocked it..

Within the last hour?

Yes.

And now?

That scarily sounds like it installed intself.

[Paradyme]

Website's been blocked at work so now I won't be on this unless the spyware is removed. I think.

 

[Rocker22]

Yeah I also got the whole trying to get me to install something still.
