First time ever on my computer today,a pop up stating, elements from site 79.135.152.25, appears to host malware.
Using Google Chrome, on my Windows desktop running XP.
Just wanted to give the mods a heads up.
All of the text on scoop (an only scoop) is coming in at double it's normal size. In addition my avatar isn't displaying. I am getting the red x instead.
This this just me?
Still celebrating St. Patrick's Day?
Nope. Me too.
I got a malware warning for this time when trying to go there from my desktop computer.
I have no idea what you are talking about, but for some unknown reason, everything I type is sarcastic

It isn't just you. James Cameron has claimed our avatars were all copyright infractions, and therefore stolen them back.
I'm getting a malware warning too. Stupid me decided to disable my scanner because I'm a scoop addict.
I think it was hacked. I got a malware warning and when I went to it a pdf file opened and crashed. Something is funky.

Same here, running Mac OS X, Safari.
Strange.

I'm getting the same thing from two different computers and can only access Scoop through my BB. What's going on?

Same with my Mac. Get rid of this thing....
No issues on SuSE Enterprise 10 along with Firefox 2.0. Konqueror on SuSE works like a champ too. It could be Windows-specific scripts?
Running Windows XP with Firefox 3.6 in a VM I can't get to the muscoop index. Same with IE 8 on XP. This is true whether I'm authenticated or not. Clearing cookies and cache didn't help.
Chrome gets to the index fine on XP, but blows up when I try to authenticate. After authentication if I take the arguments off of the url and just point back to the site index I can browse around (as an authenticated user) without issue.
Edit: Yes the website has been comprimised. This is a link to an explanation of the script being run (http://kingofthenerds.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/malicious-javascript-documentwrite-unescape/). If anyone gets any popups trying to sell you virus protection or scans or anything of the sort DO NOT CLICK THEM!
Works on my BB too.
It works on my phone as well.
Firefox looks fine .. I do see that odd javascript at the top of view source, though, and I can't believe that should be there.
So .. the $64k question .. is that being served by scoop, or is something screwy with our clients?
My IE8 does display the text at double-sized font.
Have alerted Rocky and Spiral to deal with this.
Indeed, there is something very screwy going on, with the display and posting of messages.
I still get Malware errors when I try to access Scoop on my computer and can only access the site through my Blackberry. Then, I tried to access the previous thread and it said I didn't have authority to get into the thread. Now, the other thread is gone completely! What's going on? Anyone else still have the problem?
Me too, I got the malware warning using Google Chrome on my laptop.
After every post I make the screen goes white with a very small box in the upper left corner...
But everything else seems to work fine.
Firefox in OSX 10.5 works for me no problemos
Problem is fixed, but looking to see how the javascript got there.

Thanks for the detective work - I've sent the link on to Hostgator to see if they can help out.
Sorry for the problems folks...
Well my comp got hit from the malware and now i have some sort of program continually telling me i need to purchase their software in order to remove potential viruses. It took the place of my windows security center and I have no idea how to get rid of it.
AVG wouldn't let me access MUScoop at all this morning. Thankfully so, I guess.

Download and install AVG Free-edition (http://download.cnet.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.html?part=dl-10044820&subj=dl&tag=button&cdlPid=11014801). They'll try to sell you their more expensive products, but there's no need. It's free for forever and it should clean your computer right up.

same here. great little free program.
I fully concur with all the above AVG recommendations - great free program, and kept me from accessing the site this morning (even when I wanted to!). Occasionally they do "pester" you to buy the "professional" version, but you don't have to, and the free version has never let me down. Again...the download link is:
http://download.cnet.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.html?part=dl-10044820&subj=dl&tag=button&cdlPid=11014801
Which should install, and remove the malware for you.
Add Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to that list of good anti-virus programs.
If any of you guys did get Malware that program should take care of it.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/ The free version works just as well as the full version. It doesn't have real-time protection, website scans, a scanner and update scheduler, or priority customer service.
Edit: I use this along with AVG Free.
AVG is also very good free program
I also have both of them, although no one should listen to me as I am a computer idiot.
