Might be just a coincidence but if it's not then folks should know something is going on.

Negative. Have not seen that.

You should immediately contact the "Windows Service Center" and give them your credit card info...

Its a phishing attack via a hostile ad from Fenway's advertising provider.

Nothing is wrong. They are trying to con you into calling the phone number. When you are on the line with the bad guy, he will have to surf to a website that he claims will be used to fix your PC. One of two things will happen: It will give him control of the PC and allow him to claim he found the problem. At which point he will tell you to fix it will cost X dollars and if you refuse he will likely trash your file system. Or he will encrypt everything on your drive and if you dont send him $$ you wont get access to your files ever again (ransomware, usually automated).

If you want to have some fun, call the number and jerk their chain. They are criminals and worth taunting.

Nope. Haven't seen that one.

IF it persists no matter what webpage you visit you likely have some form of malware trying to get you to pay them money. I've removed these same kinds for people using malwarebytes. It's free, you can download it for free and it will find and remove that junk.

I will add the full scan does take a good 30 minutes to an hour.

What's the difference between a Virus and a Hormone ?

























I can't make a Virus,
But I can make a Hormone !

You should have a dedicated computer if you're going to go to porn sites.

I got it on INGO as well two days ago. Malwarebytes isn't detecting anything on my system. Closed out of Chrome through task manager, logged back in and everything was fine.

Nothing against INGO or their advertisers, but it is just not a good idea to surf the web these days without a good ad blocking extension. enabled.

 

[O'Shark]

I got an alert from Norton saying they blocked a malicious something or other while I was viewing a thread on Monday.

 

[indiucky]

Yep...I saw that..Just shut down my computer and stayed away from the classifieds...

 

[JBLee]

Ran Microsoft Security and it found a Trojan, removed it and now fine. Don't know still if it was INGO but it does look like it.

 

[Cameramonkey]

Yep...I saw that..Just shut down my computer and stayed away from the classifieds...

The advertiser ads in the classifieds are the same ads in other areas. The only way to stay away is to leave INGO entirely.

ETA: Unless someone put up an ad in the classifieds that has the malicious link in the item ad itself.

I ran into the same problem from another site earlier this year. The notice wants you to click on the confirmation button. Once you do, you have just given permission for it to download to your computer and install a trojan. Mine was disquised as Google Chrome. It installed a complete directory of a phony Google Chrome and the active trojan file changed its name each time the computer was booted. I was able to stop the trojan file by renaming the file and then killing it in Task Manager, but it would start again with a different name when the computer was rebooted. I had to deny the computer access to the internet until I was able to find software that would clean my system. I ended up using Norton Eraser. It was the only software at the time that could find it and remove it. Needless to say, it was a nightmare.

How is this firearms related?

I posted about it in the website part of the forum. Banner ad evilness.
