Problems with this web site?

[Father of four]

Today, right on its fast. Thanks!

 

[dobeman]

ok, it's getting very laggy now.

Is anyone else on this web site having problems with a message that keeps popping up about "Windows Internet Security"?

It wants me to download an online protection tool. It has an executable file by the name of...sonspzwn.com

I have preformed a virus scan and a malware scan on my computer, It found nothing.

Anyone else having this problem?

 

[Father of four]

NWFA must have caught it. It's back to normal now. Thanks!

 

[Father of four]

Nope its still there.

It's hard to tell exactly what might be causing something like that, since it could be a hijacked banner ad, xss, zero-frame, or something residing on your system that your software can't currently detect. It might even be something in someone's signature which I've heard of on other forum sites. I've never seen that on this site since I run Firefox with AdBlock, NoScript and Ghostery which are set up so that I have to manually allow anything beyond basic html. A bit more work, but fairly effective.

Is there any commonality in where this warning pops up? That might help find where the actual issue lies.

Yes it seems that it only shows up after the NWFA web page initially loads up.
I am going to see if there are any new updates soon and rerun my anti virus and malware scans.

Thanks for your help.

Ok I finally fixed it I hope. Here is the web site that was messing with me.

Ah Google Analytics. We do use it in order to track our visits, our demographic, what's working, and what isn't. I'm surprised any of your software is throwing up a red flag though, as it's used on millions of websites across the internet. And I can tell you with confidence the "sonspzwn.com" file it's trying to get you to download isn't from GA, but most likely an instance of spyware. What spyware scanner are you using?

 

[Father of four]

Avast Anti virus
Malwarebytes Anti Malware
Spybot Search& Destroy
Secretmaker

 

[Joe Link]

That's really odd, between Avast and Spybot they should catch whatever your problem is. Are you sure the file is called "sonspzwn.com"? I couldn't find any info on it.

 

[Father of four]

And I use Adblock plus while using Firefox.

May a kitchen sink somewhere too...

 

[Father of four]

Yep I tired to find it also. Nothing came up here either.

Here is the (Brain-cramp...?) Isp #, Yeah here it is. 66.197.154.33

 

[Father of four]

Yep it was sonspzwn.com

Running kinda slow lately and keeps logging me out. Others are having this issue as well.

 

[Joe Link]

I'll be talking with the host tonight. We may need to upgrade again, as I'm not sure the last upgrade was sufficient enough. It's running better, but still not as good as it should be.

 

[FlyGuy]

Been running really slow today, takes about 10 seconds to load the page on my high speed cable internet.

 

[Joe Link]

Anyone notice an improvement just now?

 

[FlyGuy]

Yea, its running better now. thanks!

 

[Joe Link]

We'll see if it holds

I'm trying to optimize the server on our plan as best as possible, the next plan upgrade is around $275 per month
