Default Somehow This Malware Filled Cesspool....

managed to turn off ad block as I was browsing. An ad popped up on here, I didn't think much of it, then I noticed I had ads on Facebook. I checked and the extension in Chrome was shutoff.

Just thought I would give others the heads up.

Hate to break it to you, but it'll just get worse. I truly wouldn't count on Netphoria being around to see 2014.

All I can say is use NoScript and change your host file.

The owner of the site couldn't care less about it. At all. He hardly ever visits, browses, or anything. He doesn't want to keep it running from what I gather while talking with him recently.

I can't find anything about this happening anywhere else on the Internet. Any way you can see if it gave an error message as it was shut off?

Actually since I now do computer security for a living I find this place fascinating. I really wonder how the hell it did what it did.

There was no message, nothing. On ad got through which happens from time to time. I went to Facebook noticed the ads. Looked and ad block was off.

i read security blogs everyday and this is the first I have heard about it. Might try sending some e-mails out.

Yeah even before you posted that I started running scans, nothing got through so it's just some sort of browser exploit.

That's just dumb. An amazing amount of "acceptable" ads cause infections. It happens all the time now, they slip something into a legitimate ad stream.

Amnesty International was infecting people last month. Still no word on how that happened.

Last spring Fox News was running infected ads.

People have no clue how huge this stuff is. The damn malware comes with free tech support now:

Reading up on AdBlock coding, I don't see how any ad could turn it off. I'd think java would have to be used and java afaik can't turn off an add-on.

What Adblock extension are you using? Is it this one? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...namgkkbiglidom

Yesterday I noticed I had ads everywhere so I went to the extensions dialog and, as I suspected, Adblock was deactivated. When I tried to reactivate it, a dialog appeared saying it had been deactivated because the last update (2.5.15) has new privacy settings and requires permissions.

The developer wrote this on the extension's page:
Quote:
** NOTE REGARDING PERMISSION UPGRADES, February 2 2012 **

A bug in Chrome seems to have disabled AdBlock and asked you to re-confirm the permissions that you agreed to when you installed. Don't worry, nothing nasty is going on, other than the fact that AdBlock wasn't supposed to be disabled! This was triggered by AdBlock adding popup blocking support.

Get the latest version of AdBlock and it shouldn't be disabled. Sorry for the mess.

Please do me a favor: if AdBlock was disabled for you, please email me at adblockforchrome at gmail and let me know your Chrome version (Wrench -> About Chrome) and your AdBlock version (under chrome://extensions -> AdBlock). Thanks!

I'm sure there will be some kind of notice. Always a chance of change of heart or desire for status quo, too.

isn't he still making money on it?

why would he shut something down if he can just ignore it completely and still receive some sort of income from it? or am i entirely mistaken?
