Im getting tons of prompts on computers saying that my flash isn't up to date and to update it and it really feels like not a good thing...can you guys see what's up with that? It takes over the whole screen and only on rennlist.
This is continuing to happen all the time. I don't know in detail how this stuff works, but my understanding is that ads can be infected intentionally or through negligence from the advertiser or ad supplier. The remedy is for Rennlist to block the advertiser or the ad supplier, at least temporarily, if you can find which one it is. And really, ads should be completely prohibited from including any Javascript code, which I think is how the malware is delivered. Last resort -- everyone installs an ad blocker (possible revenue loss for Rennlist).
I was one of the idiots that installed it. Spent yesterday morning at my local Apple store having them clean it up. I reported it to Rennlist but it is still active this morning.
Something is back again. I've gotten several phony alerts in the last day or two while browsing Rennlist forums on my Mac. It has included a fake prompt to install something like Flash or an antivirus. It takes over the browser tab that formerly contained the forum thread.
