Contaminated with phishing
Moderator, my virus protection (AVG) informs me, that this website is contaminated with a phishing virus. Apart from the message, which says, that the offending site has been closed, there are no further problems and I can continue to read the threads. Other sites, that I visit from my pc do not show these messages, only PPR uNe does. My pc functions normally. I hope, that I am not at fault here.

this should be in Prune Problems and Queries
I've never seen any such messages but then I don't click on any of the ads - some of which look very odd |
AVG isn't complaining on my PC.

I am getting it too. Something is not right. PPrune ilfiltrated by "non aviators?"
|
Or paranoia.
Using a Google search, cimg9.ibsrv.net seems to be a regular presence on fora, apparently associated with posted images. |
Same here from Avast Webshield:
Threat secured. We've safely aborted connection with cimg9.lbsrv.net because it was infected with URL:Phishing. Should I report this as to Avast as a Webshield false negative or is there really a threat? The website is functioning normally despite the warning. |

I don't see adverts because they're blocked by another programme. |
Meh, Firefox and privacy badger. No problem, no adds.

Virus Threat
My scanning program is telling me it is saving me from a virus every time I open a "Jetblast" page.
|
you need to switch off the "detect idiots" function................
|
Yep my AVG is saying the same every time I go to the "Friday Memes and Cartoons thread.
And now seems to be any Jet Blast thread https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a1165572f7.jpg |
This issue also popped up yesterday on another IB site.
|
Aha, I am not the only one, so I need not to question my IQ. Hope the moderators can solve this irritating thing.
|
Cautionary note !!
My last three attempts to view entries on this thread have triggered warnings from my AV checker (Avast) advising of 'phishing' content. |
Same here - and the last few posts don't seem to have any content. looks like images are missing.

Avast is collecting its users' browsing histories and selling the data to third parties, according to a joint investigation by PCMag and Motherboard. This is just the latest example of free antivirus software harvesting data. After all, that free antivirus has to make money somehow. Update: On January 30, 2020, Avast announced it will shut down to its Jumpshot subsidiary, which sold its users' browser histories to marketers. |
Reported to Internet Brands, IBJoel will hopefully check in here Monday California Time 👍
