Malware Threat pop up when I try to open the ComPact May 2014 thread

itsover — Sat, 24 May 2014 12:51:32 GMT

Love the Compact threads. For the last week I have not visited the May thread because my computer gives me this warning:

Danger: Malware Ahead!

Google Chrome has blocked access to this page on community.qvc.com.

Content from cdn.memegenerator.net, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page. Visiting this page now is very likely to infect your computer with malware.

Malware is malicious software that causes things like identity theft, financial loss, and permanent file deletion.

*************

I dont dare open the thread. Does anyone else get this message?

I would contact QVC and ask if they are aware of this. I don't open many threads and did not notice this in my case.

I only receive the message on that thread, I haven't received it for any others I've opened. Thank you for the advice!

No one else is getting the pop-up so it is something on your computer. What is the software that is sending you the message?

We have a lot of photos and graphics copied from different sites on the ComPact thread. Maybe something about that it triggering the alert?

My internet browser, Google Chrome, is sending me the message.

I'd check the browser settings. If it is not a setting error you might try clearing the cache/cookies and reopening the browser. Chrome doesn't send me the message.

I use goggle Chrome and I have been receiving the same message the last few times I tried to read the thread. I, too, will not risk malware to read a thread. It is the only thread I get it on. I suspect it may be connected to one of the photo's that gets posted.

It's coming from the hotlinked raccoon image in post 11 of that thread.

I think there may be more than that. I've read the thread after post 11.

I have a sick computer right now that has to have all the information scrubbed because of this very thing. It was not on QVC but a dog site! I tried to click the ""X"" to close it but the malware said I needed to give them information so they could clear this. Talk about getting ticked off and there was no way to get it off. It is yet another hacker tool to take over.

Posts 1-50 are all on the same page, so just viewing the page will trigger the message. Are you getting a message on pages 2-5?
