Java Probs Again...i Think

[cupid04]

Had notification from webpage:-
WARNING!!!
Your java version is outdated,have security risks
Please update now.

When I click on red cross thingy it turns answerbank off.
Anyone else getting it?

[Baldric]

So far, no!

[cupid04]

Hi

thanks for the up date, we had a quick flash of it too, hopefully we have sorted it but please let us know if you see anything else :-)

Hope you give it a good bash with your spoon and banish it forever...;-)

Was attacked last night and my avast found 2 pups from "Java" Monarch solutions or something and just now just had another "java" which tried to install a "Win52" adware or something similar and the threat was blocked and locked in the vault.

What's scary is there wasn't a tab and they just automatically started downloading. Yesterday there wasn't a cancel tab so couldn't stop it but today there was and after promptly canceling my avast kicked in.

I'm also getting a red page saying "Possibly phishing" until I click continue to site.

[ABAuntie]

If you can please can you post the URLs you see here? Then we have an idea of where they are coming from :-)

cheers

I'm going now, just had a tab popup which I took a pictre of saying " The page at dl25.Isstny.com says: WARNING!!! Your java version is Outdated, Have security risks, please update now!

When I clicked the "X" to get rid of it then suddenly a "java" page appeared and then started downloading "Javaupdate_setup.exe"

I pressed cancel and then avast kicked in with a warning!

[Henrietta]

Does that help Auntie?

Just checked my virus chest. It's "Win32 Adware-Gen" contained in there

[quinie]

I've just had the Java message. have to go out so hope all is ok when I log ongain

Oh dear, was a bit pleased with myself that I was OK but I've just got it. It behaved exactly as cupid describes, the red cross closes AB and opens an update page.

just got this:-

[Prudie]

Gawd you are in trouble now auntie...

[craft1948]

Quite right Prudie............I want it sorting NOW.

[cupid04]

Me want it sorted to...Don't know why but I'm addicted to this place...

This happened a couple of weeks ago (i just mentioned it on chatterbank) and i clicked to update and all sorts of stuff went weird. Ignore anything about java on this site, I think.
