    Exclamation Blackhole Toolkit Attack from Forum's URL?

    I don't know what it is, or any other of that stuff...it's why a dummy like me has Norton's Internet Condom protecting my pc. But my first attempt to come here this morning resulted in this, as the Forum site was stopped from connecting:

    I cropped off my web address info, of course...Am I reading this correctly, that the attacking computer URL somehow originated from here?
    Anyone else have this happen?

    Hmm, sounds strange. It seems to be coming from that protecto-avi address, not the Fret. Perhaps your computer is infected already?

    Yes, and it was around the same time.
    I didn't look into the pop up, My system has not been affected in any way.

    There's a lot of stuff about that rootkit on the Net. You might want to have whoever is in charge of The Fret's server check it out.

    I get nothing from home or work. Of course, work spends more per month in network protection than my house is worth!

    For home, I'm running the latest Norton for anti-virus, Zone Alarm for firewall, and Malwarebytes for anti-malware.

    I ran the protector-avi.co.cc URL through Websense's ACEInsight search, but found no alerts for it. (I used to admin Websense for Waste Management, Inc.).

    The URL might be misleading, so I wouldn't focus too much on it.

    I upgraded the forum to the latest version.

    Does this solve this issue?

    I believe it was a CSS cross-site scripting attack, using an exploit in the forum software. This new upgrade should solve that - let me know please.

    It fixed the issue that I was seeing with Avast anti-virus.
