i just got re-directed to this link (do not click):

You must have picked up a virus surfing .xxx sites:winkwink:

I get the same shit

I did a malware check but my computer is clean

So GFY must be temporarily deploying it direct into the browser???

i never get shit but i surf with condoms on

I thought TS was referring to fatfoo /wink

yeah im getting this also ....

done all the scans comes up clean ...im about to check from a brand new system right now and see if its doing it on it also

its odd

i do not get it often.

i wonder if its in a banner or somthing.

If you had a Mac, this shit would not be a concern. :2 cents:

someone is redirecting us via htaccess through a image somewhere on here.

Is that really possible? Then they can redirect all traffic from any forum,site,etc where you can post selfhosted pic?!?!

Get a Mac.

Yes, if they have an image on gfy, they can do with us what they want everytime their image displays.

I got it 2 or 3 times too thank god for avast it blocked it all times :)

Gotta be careful. Make sure your antivirus is up to snuff: http://www.ixdownload.com/reviews/an...ivirussoftware

got this 2 times today as well

you're a fucking virus lol

I got redirected 2 times in the past few days clicking on a thread,sometimes if i check the recent pages button in IE it shows an IP address as the page i visited before while on gfy.

This is what it shows as the previous page i visited while surfing gfy
173.244.222.4/s/in.cgi?4&paramet

Avast has caught it several times, Good ol' gfy, :)

Doesn't matter where it came from, if GFY gave a shit the forum would be clean.

fuckers just got me again and the back button does show an ip addy not gfy.

Your computer is probably infected and is set to redirect pages on gfy.

These are old and outdated but click on Technical Details and look at the list of domains

my pc seems fine

I just got redirected from a GFY page, so the problem is still here.

It has happened to me a couple of times as well.

Looks like comodo+avira+firefox are protecting me on my side :)

Got it 10 times.

It's just a WEBPAGE in your browser that looks like a Windows System Screen.

It pretends it's scanning your hard drive, probably harmless unless your buy the anti-dote!

my browser stops me from re-directing :D

it is being done every time a certain image loads. It has happened to me twice while visiting the front page, so, it's either a main sponsor or one of those little buttons from smaller adverisers at the bottom.

No problems here, Opera rocks :thumbsup

you cant send headers twice so an image cannot redirect the page, it is most likely one of the sponsors gfy uses had their server hacked or is intentionally using their ad to infect gfy users

You are right, I was thinking about cookie stuffing

~Ray

that must get annoying never being able to go anywhere

how do you do this.

is it somthing you add to your httpass file?

step#1 buy ad block on gfy
step#2 install trojan in code
step#3 count money while sipping jack n cokes on your yacht whilst hot young blondes slobber on your shlong.

If everyone had a Mac you'd be fucked too.

It would be helpful to post exactly what GFY pages are redirecting.

As a poster pointed out above, an image alone redirecting is highly unlikely...

However, it's not impossible (ie. corrupted image combined with unpatched software could cause it), so it would be interesting to know what linked image(s) people are experiencing redirects with.

It happens only some time so should be in a rotating banner which display some time.
No one get this redirect from other sites then gfy right?

yup, I got the same shit today, damn it FUCK, its masquarades as MS Removal tool, totally blocking me from opening windows it wants me to start scan to remove now, but that would make it worse, I heard about it from a friend who got fucked just like that:mad:
It keeps popping up every 2 minutes and you cant get rid of it:mad:

Its the small banner at the bottom "Singles 365" that is messing with the back button in IE

easyflirt.com?

then I guess it's a good thing most people are too broke to afford the good shit (Mac). :2 cents:

the link was replaced, image is hosted by gfy. Can you please let me know if it still happens.

Did anyone notice which particular topic(s) set the redirect? This most likely is related with someone's signature. My guess is we are heading for gfy hosted signatures to prevent this from happening again.

It happened to me twice on initial visit... not clicking on a thread.

thank you Ray, was it on gfy.com or gofuckyourself.com ?

I got it today, and once about a week ago- both from hitting gfy

That would significantly increase server load but when done in the right way shouldn't be a problem, you could even setup external storage for uploads. However, people will still post pics... So, is there a really point in it unless you are going to block image bbcode as well?

you are right on this, but it would be a single photo or two someone would post, a signature is a recurring issue. I'll check with the techs. I remember this problem is coming up all the time over the years.

Yup. that's a good point. Single thread page eventually get abandoned and dead on so fast moving board like this one.

This url.. I have bookmarked..
