Posts: 10 5-May-09 11:43 AM	Tags : None Note sure if this is the right place but I have just had an incident where something tried to take over my computer Here is the URL I opened http://pspplaygroundpals.yuku.com/topic/928?page=-1 The ad verts is a mobile phone picture telling me I have one message... have not clicked on the ad at all just opened the page and a new web page opened up that was named Travian... but I closed that immediately... also a couple of my own programmes tried to load... so I hope nothing is in there now. My antivirus blocked several pop up attempts. I believe support already has a report in from this group made by the owner, she is away at the moment and I cannot contact regarding any ticket numbers. Thanks for your attention Regards Jennie

Posts: 10 6-May-09 9:10 AM	Hi Chris No I am sorry I did not stop to get the URL.... I just shut the page down.. I just remember Travian and the colour green on the page. It is very strange because I have just checked my history to see if it was there, and for yesterday I only have history for 3 items? The only yuku page was messages and I was certainly in a lot more pages than that in Yuku? Every other day is showing a long list in history... how strange is this? I use IE7 and don't have firefox I scanned my whole computer after this incident and it appeared to be clean so hopefully nothing got in though my pop up blocker was going crazy until I shut that page down. Thanks Jennie

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 13731 6-May-09 9:37 PM Yuku Help	Hi Jennie, you shouold have a little plus sign (or some sort of icon) to the left of the sites in your history. When you click on that, it opens up and will show you all the pages for a particular location.

As I use F/Fox and am a Gold Supporter, I can't see any of this. I'll get back to you when I receive more info. Yonkers.

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 13731 14-May-09 8:54 PM Yuku Help	That's quite all right, Jenny, no worries. The first ad you described was different though, so we may be dealing with two different ones. Can you also check the first reply in this topic please? http://support.yuku.com/topic/13429 A redirect is not necessarily a virus though, I checked out travian, it looks like a games site. For your peace of mind, I looked up travian via safeweb, it came up completely clean travian scan: click here
