WordPress, you have a problem? adsshownow.com "virus"?
-
One of my clients websites is loading up very slowly and having several sites show that they are sending requests to in the status bar that I’ve never heard of before. After a while a pop up window shows up that just says “false” and two buttons “Leave This Page” and “Stay On This Page” (chrome). After I get rid of the box, my AVG pops up and says:
File: adsshownow.com/jquery-1.5.2.min.js
Threat Name: Exploit Rogue Scanner (Type 1292)I tried doing some research and found two other threads, one on a separate blog, and one within this support forum (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/is-the-site-hacked-opens-new-windows-and-forwards-to-different-domain?replies=2), both of which were made within the last 24 hours. I then looked at other websites I had built for clients and sure enough, the same thing existed on another one of my clients websites.
Clearly I’m not the only one getting this, and it isn’t exclusive to just one of the site’s I’ve personally built. If it has something to do with jquery could it be possible it’s exploiting some sort of image slider? That’s about the only thing in common with the two websites I’ve built that have this issue
