Getting malware via webhelper.

Post by Sheep »

So I've been playing on the server minding my own business, then my antivirus keeps detecting something while I play and it was going on for a while. at first, I thought it was just nothing to worry about then it started to become a recurring issue whenever I play on the server so I tried to track the source of the problem then I found out that it was the ads on the server that was causing all of that to happen, how did ik this? I went through the logs and webhelper keeps being shown almost everytime.

This is just something I thought I would share.

I have reported this issue to my ad service provider, thanks for the report. Sometimes one of the banner ads that get serviced a bad url slips in and it triggers people's anti virus programs.

Anytime, and I'm glad that's not just me having this problem.

The banner ads have been disabled and are being audited to see if we can find the bad one. If you get it again let me know right away.
