Actually, I just received a Symantec warning from this site as well:

[SID: 24443] Web Attack: Suspicious Browser Fingerprinting 3 detected.
Traffic has been blocked from this application: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe


My AV is up to date, and there are no viruses on my system. I think possibly one of the banner ads is trying to run malicious code or something, might want to check that out.

I wondered why my explorer EXE was always infected. It never gets executed though because I don't IE. Yea they have gotten real good and getting this crap into good sites

jwharris 12-11-2011 11:16 AM

Use Firefox web browser instead of Internet Explorer and you will never have this problem again.

miniman82 12-11-2011 12:35 PM

Yep, FF with No Script. Blocks all the swarf.

ctc17 12-11-2011 02:10 PM

I just got nailed. I usually post from my phone but I zoned it now my computer is infected. I use FF but don't have scripts blocked.

The offending site listed (w5e3ir.com) is not listed in any template that makes the site. I would need specifics as to the thread, page or posts to try and narrow it down.

Not having any problems here, I suspect your Computer already has a Virus and it's trying to redirect you to an infected Site.

Possibly the banner ads trigger it somehow.
Is your Flash player up to date?

ctc17 12-12-2011 09:20 AM

The one I got was called XP Security 2012. It was malware ant it was difficult to get rid of.

ctc17 12-12-2011 09:26 PM

I got one like that two years ago, was called" XP Security 2010" at the time. AVG let it on my computer. I had clicked on a picture someone had posted from Flickr, which seemed to launch the virus. It had placed two exe files in the root directory and a red icon in the task bar, accompanied by a sound every 90 seconds reminding me to click on the red icon. I tried AVG online live support and all seemed well after their technician worked on it for 2 hours. Then when all was supposedly done and we disconnected I tried to run a program and it wouldn't launch, so I tried to restart the computer, and it wouldn't boot, just a blinking "-" . Finally resorted to a week old backup I had done using Acronis, loaded it to a new HDD, and all was OK again.
