Pop Up McAfee Scan
« on: May 13, 2025, 07:55:25 PM »
Today when I was looking at the Sims 3 Skill Information pages a pop-up saying I may have visited a malicious website and it wants me to scan my computer using a McAfee scan. Then it says scan is starting it happened twice today. It has happened a few times in the past. I just turn off my machine and then I run my own Windows Defender scan. Windows Defender never shows a threat. I thought you guys might want to know about it.

It looks like there's a compromised ad on the guide, which has an injected redirection to some sketchy website -- @Carl is best placed to handle it. I couldn't reproduce it after the first hit (maybe it stores a cookie or something?) but it happened about where the comments start.
