Errorsafe????

[Gray Fox]

Hello, I just wanted to know if this site uses errorsafe popups.

Errorsafe is a maliciouse software that installs itself on your PC and gives you false warnings in the form of popups, so that you download their program.
Now most probably my PC is just infected, but the thing is that it only pop's up at this website, now that may just have been a coincidence.

In any case it isn't as bad as spywarequake, but still it's piece of shit spyware.

In any case I am going to go in safemode, and run adware, windows defender, and nod 32 in depth scans.

PS for those of you that ever encounter spywarequake http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic47826.html

Well I just did all that.
NOD32 did not find anything, and I did a in depth scan.
Adware-SE full scan did not find anything also
Windows Defender found 2 potentially risk objects.
one was a file I donwloaded from a css server and one called regupdate.

In any case MS can sometimes find false positieves, we all remember how it gave firefox as a potential risk. In any case I deleted those two anyway, I could not search fro theur names on the net cause I cannot go on the internet in safemode. Thats it, I guess since no one replied it was probably me.

I've just looked through the forum source code, and that of the front page and absolutely no advertising code is used other than the banners you see at the top, bottom or sides of the page.

The only way it could be related to us is if an advertiser is using malicious software in their code, but this is very unlikely as they're all moderated by Accelerator Media before they're allowed to be used.

Ok thnx for clearing that up.
It must be my PC then, funny enough even tough my scans did not find any errorsafe spyware, it hasn't reaoccurd since I scanned my PC. It must have been in those two items that MS defender detected.
