Personal commitments and an ongoing search for the source are persistent


The current position is, if you are having Malicious attacks, position your firewall appropriately....
This will be resolved in due time, rest assured!

Please do not take this the wrong way, but this is wrong and irresponsible.

I purposely and carefully surfed here using Firefox with the "noscript plugin" (forbidding rolexforums.com, and links) and java turned off.

"position your firewall appropriately" ??? Sorry, but firewalls DO NOT prevent drive by downloads. As long as you keep this site operational you ARE contributing to the possible infection of older, unpatched machines. (I pity the person who is surfing this forum with IE6).

The culprit could be hiding anywhere from "signatures" to "avatars", hidden iFrames.

As suggested, the site should be taken offline, or DNS pointed to a "Sorry" page.

If you go to view source you can see exactly where its being loaded, check on any page and do a find for "d.write", its where a heap of banners for watch top 100 lists used to be at the bottom of every page.

This is not taken in "the wrong way".
My advice to you and anyone else receiving the warnings, is "to log out"!!!!

TRF is not holding you hostage to log in, nor is it doing nothing!!

All i'm asking is to keep the antagonism to yourself until the fix has been resolved!
There's more to it than you can see or fathom.

My post was an alternative, not a directive!!
