Downloads

[LMuhlen]

While on the forums, chrome gave me a warning that the site was pushing too many downloads, or something similar, asking if I would allow them. I didn't, but it had already downloaded this file called hbpix.

Sounded suspicious.

I've never seen anything like that. Do you have a screenshot?

[LMuhlen]

No, only happened this one time...

Actually, now there is a symbol in the right hand side of the address bar, an arrow pointing down with a red X, when I mouse over it, it says "this site tried to download many files automatically" (rough translation)

You know I've been saying it too... something on MMO-C makes my browser freeze up.

I don't want to admit to reading MMO-C at work but... our network administrator has approached me and said he gets a lot of bandwith movement when I'm on MMO-C.

Hmm, odd. Are you blocking adds? Our system at work shows this as a minimal site for us (then again, we run with a 400/900 connection), nor have I seen any downloads started, or cancelled from here.

The URL from your download history would be helpful.

[LMuhlen]

Nothing from yesterday shows up in my download history... I guess since it aborted the download, it didn't register?

The file that did get downloaded also doesn't show there... it was a 1 kb file named hbpix, with no extension that I could see. I deleted it, though.

It isn't happening anymore today.

i get that too, i feel like mmo lets to many ads on without control o.o Or has very messed up html code

[chaud]

It sounds like a misconfigured ad. Hopefully it is gone now. If it pops up again get me the URL and I'll do what I can to stop it!

[FurryRedVixen]

i bet thats it, it comes and goes for me, usually hangs around for 1-3 weeks then is gone.

I also got this. It's restricted to the front page.

It's the same url.

I've had malwarebytes warn me about blocking the following over the last few days:
