clicked on a link in an email for a newsletter i subscribe to (Video Games Reviews & News - GameSpot) and it took me to the site containing the article. after the page loaded up popped the following warning:
another time (i.e. reloading same web page) displayed a different warning:
as far as i can recall i only see these "errors" when going to the Gamespot links.
in the past i have always clicked on Cancel. today for grins i clicked on OK to see if it would ask me to download some sort of product. instead it took me to the following web site which was an empty page:
zzzzzandroid-system-alert.systemsecurity.co/mm/androiddownload/v04/blk_scanner_EN_72d193e4/alert_c.php?p1=trackkor&p2=com&p3=main&c=809&subid=1235268022-139e6e185fd3ee0590ed8bfbbcfc63f1&l=3243&ept=105lDCtOvJ%2BamKcjeio%2FDJOhD3Gp%2FvD4ITHPcz5QuPxFutxOys%2FdS2K0bauBrxklxuOx6sPtmZNkhT9noPIW0Q%3D%3D
Note: i have prefixed the URL with 5 z's to prevent anyone from going there accidentally.
immediately ran a virus scan (Avast) which came up clean.
1. any idea what clicking on OK did since the web site was empty and the virus scan was clean? i was sort of expecting that it would try to ask to install an anti-virus or cleanup program.
2. is there any way to block access to ads.yahoo.com in a Chrome setting?
thanks!
