Customs Forge Popups?

[PC Plum]

As of today (1st Nov 2014) I get constantly sent to update my flash video player and Java software, even though I don;t have Java installed.  Also, when I leave the site I get directed to a seemingly official Firefox page which is not in fact official.

 

Is this deliberate, is it a deal CF struck up to generate revenue, or has the place been hacked?

 

Seems quite sophisticated, the pages look very genuine but the legal text is wrong.

 

Yes, it may well be my machine but it only started today (did not happen least night) and it only happens on CF.

 

 

My PC is getting reset for AW anyway, if you think it's me then I will blitz my pc sooner...

Hmmm, fine for me. Cheers for being vigilant mate, you may want to clean your PC.

I've seen the bogus popup for Flash installer too.  Sites that are playing ads that use Flash player and have links to perps site cause popup.  Ignore the popup and be careful of all installer prompts is best advice.

There was an ad page that I didn't notice pop up in the background when I reported this...

 

Thanks for the advice, pc will be blitzed before AW on Tues :)

I would recommend you all to use Adblock.  https://adblockplus.org/

 

Everything on this site works fine for me.

Everythings works fine even with adblock disable on this site for me.

Yeah I had actually downloaded a custom and the mediafire ad page had popped up.  It must have been that causing the redirections.

 

Sorry for any confusion.  CF rocks!

 

:D

Heads up. I removed "hacked" from the title so people aren't misled. Everything is safe folks!
