Unsafe Website? How Do I Report This Properly?

[netsurfelf]

Hello~

First when I went to my e-mail to activate this account (Spybot Forums) it looked like it had already been clicked on. Is this possible? Only seconds had passed from registration to going to my e-mail. Subject line, etc., not in it's usual 'new mail' bold print. Never have seen that happen before. But I activated the forum account okay. So not sure what that was.

Original Issue:

Was looking up info about the 'rick-roll' videos history - went to an unintended site (mean to go to a different one I'd seen before). Wound up @:

http: // rick-rolld.com

Twice because the first time it happened I had another site open, too and so I actually was not sure which on was the culprit.

Took over my computer screen. A large pop-up flashed on and off from left to right. There even bogus instruction to clock on C+Alt+Delete to make it stop. This did not work. Had to do a manual shut down each time.

Is this possibly a virus or just a pain? I'm scanning now. I have a McAffee security suite, Spybot and the free A2 Anti-trojan as I have to upgrade again to the paid one. The free one does not have real time scanning so I have to initiate it manually.

Could not see how to submit the website to McAffe (which had the green "safe" checkmark next to it ) Google search results. Could that be a mistake or is it really safe? Not able to see how to send it in properly to A2 either.

Advice? Should I be worried about any of this?

Thanks~

As far as the e-mail part I went back and saw there was a second message from the forum with a welcome mail. After that is when I could post even though I was able 'log in."

That is solved but the rest of what I posted about still has me worried. :sad:

Hi and welcome,

About that site --

Highly annoying, yes. Not nice language -- true.
Dangerous -- no.
It is a javascript causing the window to bounce back & forth.
I suspended the iexplore process with process explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx) then resumed it so I could get source code. (after oking 100+ message boxes saying "rick-rolld.com").
Then an endless loop of the song (uses flash) with instructions below on page how to trick others to visit & get stuck on same page.

Unless you have other issues happening on the machine I believe you are OK. Just got nailed by an annoying joke page. :oops:

Suspending iexplore.exe (right click it> choose suspend) process & then ending task (hilight task> click red x ) it gets you out. :)
Will end up killing all IE windows but hey.. better then a hard reboot.

Regards,

Thank You Blender! :angel:

Somehow I'd never been to a joke page like that ever before. A new paradigm for me. Always something new to learn about the online universe. All is clear per my machine's security programs, too but just wanted to be sure.

Gratitude,

PS. Downloaded Process Explorer. Sounds like it could be helpful to have it on board~~

Hi,

Sorry for delay. Something is wrong with my notifications.

Good to hear everything is in the clear. :)

I must agree. That joke page really is annoying.
Process explorer is a kewl program but as with any other tools do be careful.

Take care & surf safe.
