I'm suddenly getting this a number of times browsing here on OGR.  Any idea why this would be happening?  I've never seen this before.

It just happened when I opened this thread.

John, I think it must be something local to you. Note that it says this happened on an OUTBOUND connection. That’s something originating on your machine, not something coming from the OGR forum server. As further evidence, I just opened that thread on two PCs, a MAC and my IPad. No pop up.

Clear your cookies and cache in Firefox and see if it still happens.

Tons of phishing and spamming going on right now. Watch emails and unusual alerts and be careful what you click on.

I received this from my IT department this morning.

As we get more comfortable working from home, cyber attackers have quickly adjusted to this new situation. We are currently tracking a significant world-wide increase in the amount of phishing attempts targeting people working at home. In addition to common phishing messages, scams revolving around the Coronavirus and scams related to tax returns are becoming more prevalent. 

You are absolutely right. The photo of the repainted engine posted by Norton was an image being served by localnet.com. If you note the data in the John's first post about this, the trojan was coming from localnet.com.

I posted this within the post over there to let the member know what was going on.

FROM THE FORUM ADMIN STAFF:
We deleted the image you linked to from http://members.localnet.com. The localnet.com site was attempting to force a trojan malware download to people viewing this thread.



In all fairness, I don't think Member Norton had any idea that this was happening.
