Every time I visit this sub-forum, my Norton Anti-Virus software tells me that it has been attacked by "Web Attack: Mass Injection Website 5". Has anyone else seen this virus activity?

The attacking computer is d1.openx.org/ajs.php and the severity is shown as "High". The source address is shown as 173.241.250.2.

I couldn't find an appropriate place to post this message anywhere on the forum, so I posted it here.

An administrator should investigate this before any computers are infected. My Norton software blocks the attacks.

I flagged your post so that maybe they'll see it sooner.

Is it happening in one thread or 1 section only?

Most of us see nothing.

Give me links to the thread where it is happening.

It's most likely not a virus and def not originating from SVTP. It's likely either a sig pic or google ad. Post links and screen caps of the pages where you get the warning.

I changed the title of the thread to something more appropriate.

My Norton also still advising that it blocked an attack by Web Attack: Mass Injecton Website 5.

Post a link and screen shot of the page where you get a warning each time it happens. I'm working on my phone right now so I'm not seeing any warnings. I need more info in order to fix anything.

Looks like it's coming through the google Adsense tags.

A screenshot would be helpful to pinpoint it and report to google.

It's still happening every time I visit the 2013 Shelby GT500 sub-forum. I'm not sure if it happens anywhere else. Like others have said, it's probably not coming directly from this site, but loading this site or one of the ads/banners/links on it can infect computers.
