Depositfiles
Went to download a video from Depositfiles and it froze my computer telling me I had a virus and to call the number. Trying to close the page doesn't work, had to turn the computer off.
Run Malwarebytes and my internet security full scan, nothing found. |

It sounds like you got hit by one of those random "ransomware" type ads. It isn't necessary to turn off the PC when these hit, just open your Task Manager from the Start button (I can get to this in win 8.1 just by right clicking the Start button), then right click your browser in the task list and choose "End Task".
This will shut down the browser completely, overriding whatever malicious code that has frozen your browser. You are then back to the desktop and can resume as normal.

I've had this - can't remember from whom - and it's necessary to also clear the browser cache.

It would also be useful to download and install the MWB anti-exploit add-on which protects browser and add-ons against zero-day threats. Even in its 'free' form this is effective, I use it and IMHO there is little need to upgrade to the paid-for version.

Sounds very much like the rogueware/scareware attacks
that have been around since the early 00s This site lists 349 by the end of 2007 http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm The different types of the malicious explained https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/vir...ams-scareware/ The tactic is very simple - scare the novice IT user into thinking their infected and have no choice but to buy help via the phone number Sadly this still works on a small percentage of the population More likely than any malware infection you might find the hosts file now has some unblocked bad servers / sites which you'll be sent to when searching. Small program like rkill should tell you if anything has been changed in windows https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/windows/ rkill explained - read before using because it does have conflicts with some software https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/for...o-the-program/ As prevention is better than playing junior detective How to Harden Your Browser Against Malware and Privacy Concerns Covers most of the usual browsers http://www.techsupportalert.com/cont...y-concerns.htm |

DepositFiles download issue
Since last night I cannot download any files from DepositFiles. If I click on the Gold or Regular Download buttons I get no response. I have cleared my cache and cookies and nothing will work. Any suggestions?
I fired up an old laptop and it is doing the same thing. It the site down? Last edited by Nutjob; March 12th, 2017 at 12:25 AM.. |

Past recent history says depositfiles occasionally will become unusable manually if your blocking the ads The culprit seems to be ad-block plus blocking things it shouldnt Just as it does on VEF Using a download manager bypasses the ads & captcha / solvemedia phase - hence the links work for those members other issue which sometimes has folks going round in circles, Script blockers need to allow both the depositfiles address on the link page and solve media on the count down page. Every part of the process has a potential script to be allowed on it |
