Flagged website - Game Jolt
« on: August 14, 2010, 12:38:24 AM »
Hello everyone,

I am representing the website Game Jolt. A month or so back one of the ad networks were serving up a trojan that Avast has caught. In Avast's protection they flagged the website's ad server URL which has caused the owner of the website to take down all of the ads for users to view the website properly.

The owner has emailed Avast directly multiple times and is in desperate need for the ad serving URL to be re-evaluated. What I'm asking is: Is it possible to get the URL re-evaluated and possibly be marked as safe again? The ad network has gotten rid of the trojan ad and all is safe again; we just need the website marked as safe by Avast.

Ad serving URL: http://gamejolt.com/adserver/www/delivery/afr.php
 
Thanks,
Sean Buller

Same here, no alert in either URL, all be it that the adserver URL page is blank, presumably because of what you said.

Welcome to the forums, UnknownGamer   :)

It seems all is well now. I also got no alerts from avast! Pro.

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Bob, you could have done the same in your quoted link, changing it to hXXp ;D

@ UnknownGamer
That link still appears to have been hacked as there is a 1X1 iframe tag that appears to have been inserted after your div id=beacon tag, see image1 and image2 where I have broken the single line to make it easier to see.

This iframe tag points to a Paraquay IP address, image3. This IP is also blocked by the network shield as malicious and also by firefox as an attack page, image4.

So you still have some cleaning up to do and more importantly closing the vulnerability that is being exploited to insert these malicious iframe tags.

avast isn't alone (but almost) in detecting this, but there are very few scanners actually looking for these hacked/inserted tags and even less able to detect them. http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=76e2e9be985f217f244ad8a50df9b06ef36b18b9768c9c8df4b8de16306a3b25-1281826952
