http://www.avast.com/indexCan websites inject viruses into your computer without you downloading stuff? I don't have an antivirus
Avast is free and works well enough to keep your system clean. If you can't spend much $$$ on your software there is always plenty of legal, free and good working stuff. And answering your question, unfortunately, yes they can.

Dude, get a antivirus.Can websites inject viruses into your computer without you downloading stuff? I don't have an antivirus
eace:
Did some homework it seems that the infection hasn't been totally removed yet, you might wanna read this if you're using a combination of MAC/Linux + Chrome:
The attack, however, is limited by the fact that it won?t work in some web browsers. Modern versions of Internet Explorer do not decode most Base64 and while Google Chrome will, it will not execute the 302 redirect from TinyURL. Google Chrome will decode the base64 and will execute the resulting JavaScript, thus simply hiding the data URL information behind ?Click Here? or similar innocuous text would likely be successful. Many of the web browser options for the Android platform will also not execute the script. As a result, while this type of attack may not work in purely Microsoft/Internet Explorer environments, it will be effective against Linux, Mac OS X, iPhones, iPads, some Android-based phones/tablets making, it an effective threat against most corporate environments.
I've contacted the hosting company and asked them to run some tests as i have absolutely no idea how to fix this, and i will get back with updates.
BTW: i tried WinXP and Win7 with both Chrome and Firefox. It didn't seem to affect neither the pc nor the notebook. The problem must be with the MAC users..

Thanks Rady! It was a nice picture. But could you try something like "unloopme"'s sometimes?

sorry, i was stoned as f**k that night
smokes, are you still getting popups? most certainly they are not from here, please post the urls if you get them again
No it was only on that particular day, but strangely they were only occurring when I was replying to posts on this site and never at any other point.

Was it only me or the board crashed again?
We got another attack but luckily i was on the spot and restored the whole forum, the rest of the site will be cleaned in the next minutes. Not sure how this happened AGAIN as passwords were changed and most of the software was updated.. i'm trying to figure this out. Currently the forum is safe.

@rady: forum's not loading at times, could you please fix it? It's 20 minutes before tip-off and you know everybody will get pissed if we can't have some trash talk about the Craptors.
