FBI Moneypak Virus Warning - Page 5

**Rick Danger** · May 16th, 2014, 11:18 PM

I've been attacked by FBI Moneypak several times. I suspect this is more of a rogue script and not a "true" virus since each time I was able to use Task Manager to kill my Firefox session(s) and afterwards I did not observe any virus activity or Windows processes that were not there prior to the incident.

One thing additional. Since taking the advise of VEF member Buttsie, I installed the FireFox plugin NoScript. So far I have not had a visit from FBI MoneyPak and scans of my machine with Bitdefender Internet Security and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware have been absolutely clean.

It would help if you can post a link to the actual post concerned.

Is it disturbing? Sick stuff? Or just playing with a few fellow members nervs?

Damn, I do feel some suspense to really click those two links but I think it'll ruin everything for ages..

Just opened it and as proof same image re-upped to Imagebam

It's not the actual image that hosts the nuisance. It's a more sinister threat that can seem to attack almost anywhere.

Sorry that you got that warning while following one of my attachments!
I too had some warnings while following attachments from PimpAndHost, that's why I installed Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

When following now the above mentioned attachment I got the following warning:

As you can see the domain that was blocked isn't PimpAndHost but media101.sweetbanner.biz

I'd be poetic justice if these clowns run afoul of the real FBI, which probably doesn't like being impersonated.

I use Google Chrome and they have an extension called "Script Safe." Has anyone used it? Does it work well? Thanks.

Beware: One just popped up on me on post 421 in the Andrea/Nadia/Pixie thread. Had to shut down the puter & reboot to get away.

How do these get attached when you click on the image host?

Thankfully, both Buttsie and Jenny recommended No-Script, and after installing it I have had no problems at all. My thanks to them both!

It's been a Godsend I'm sure.

I have also started using sandbox, again on Buttsie's recommendation.

As the Irish would say: 'To be sure, to be sure'!

I'm using Palemoon, BTW. With Avast Free.

So far, no problems...... Long may it continue!
