NEWS24 Virus?

Using ie8, suddenly, when accessing nwews24.com, I am being asked to install a realplayer plugin. I am also being told to add a chinese language pack for the site www.peidaio.com. AVG is warning against "exploit javascript exploitation".

Firefox doesn't report any problems.

I don't get it in IE8 or Opera9.64

 

[gregmcc]

Looks like here in IE7/8/FF

In Opera my Kaspersky reports a Trojan when going to News24.

mayb they have a custom javascript that is logging your IP address or something and you AV is picking it up as a virus?

 

[i'R Weasel]

when going into the msn search site this virus message also pops up

 

[noswal]

Use NoScript addon.....

 

[cyberarmy]

Nothing here, tried IE8 and Maxthon2, Norton Internet Security 2009 latest updates, WIN XP SP3 (all critical update).

Would be useful if someone can post a screenshot of their Antirivus Warning Window.

Looks like new24 had been injected with cross site script....... But I can not open the link you provided (can not resolve host name).

I have just opened news24.com and received the following message.This site is infected with he Trojan Horse http/wwwbaotuba .com/z4in.js.
Being relatively ignorant in these matters I thought that warning users of a possible infection was better than allowing the infection to spread.

It's a pity that the ONLY way of communicating with them is via a posted message, which I did when I first encountered the problem and which has elicited no response so far.

I've checked through the news24 home page code and don't see any references to dodgy sites. On what page do you get the warning?

I remeber finding malware on the sabc site one - mailed everyone on the contact list and after 2 days of nothing happening I mailed IT Web. It was sorted the next day

It appears to have been fixed.
