I was just browsing around on the website. While there, I got automatically redirected to a "Virus Scanner". After it completely the Virus Scan, it promoted to download a virus scanner. Of course this is some sort of malware. If you are browsing around on the site, do not download this file. Just a heads up.

I also got this. Avoid the site, it comes with a Trojan according to malwarebytes.

SAME I GOT IT! lol

If you do go to the site and get the screen, best way of exiting out without clicking anything is to Alt+F4 everything, or ctl+alt+delete and end your browser task.

I'm amazed at this whole thing. I used banana for 2 years without problems. Someone must have hacked the website.

 

[SilentSinr]

yea that is surprising because i have also downloaded stuff from them in the past
Thanks for the heads up

 

[Tanooki]

This isn't the first time this has happened to them. Happened once last year as well.

 

[Beta]

yea they were hacked before, makes me scared to even DL anything from them

 

[Jake_25]

i dont download anything from them anymore

 

[Beta]

just went to a site other than fpsbanana, got the same attack, running AVG just to be safe

 

[_Xx_HeX_xX_]

fail on them

 

[Tanooki]

As long as you don't download the file, you will be safe. I did a AVG scan, Ad-aware scan, and a Spybot scan, which all turned up clean.

Be careful Tanooki, AVG, S&D, and Superantispyware did not detect anything on my side, yet Malwarebytes did. I'm not trying to sound biased either.

 

[Tanooki]

I did an online scan and still found nothing.

If your using Firefox, I recommend you use this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
It basically removes bad pop-ups and ads like that with malware and such from webpages
(Not sure if it was a pop-up/ad but still this is a great add-on :biggrin

That's funny because I usually do run that... I did a reinstall and forgot to grab it hahaha....

I find the use of skins and everything to be pointless now a days, I guess if I really want to have new skins I'll make my own. That's my motto, "Why download what you can make?"

It is a possibility its not FPSbanana that is the problem, it may be a tracking cookie that you picked up from somewhere else that triggered a random redirection.

I have had it before, when searching through google, every second click redirects me to a fake virus site.

Malbytes antimalware is the best I have found for picking up on these type of things.

 

[Tanooki]

Nah, it is definitely them, I don't really go any where else other then here, face book, and myspace.
