Whoa what the heck... FO3Nexus is an attack site?

Post » Fri Feb 18, 2011 6:19 pm

I just got a warning that FO3Nexus is a reported attack site when I tried to go there with Mozilla. When I clicked "Ignore this warning", the page loaded all wrong, with no formatting, just links.

Did Nexus just get hacked or something?

EDIT: Okay. Update lag. http://www.tesnexus.com/news/index.php?id=789 on TESNexus.

&*#$ing virus writers. :angry:

The news post on TESNexus indicates that there was a trojan amongst the ads. Seeing that I'm a premium member, I never got that. They tracked it down, though.

I noticed the same thing 2 today. But it seems to be working fine now, I got no virus warnings or whatsoever. I only got a message saying windows blocked the website from loading. I was still able to dl files tho.

I noticed that too, since I'm also a premium member I don't get any ads.

There is also a thread on this in the Oblivion forums http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1117547-tes-nexus-infected/

I had that happen last night too - I had an open Nexus tab in Firefox from my previous session and AVG went berserk. I guess now I know what caused it.

Does anyone have the latest FOIP package that they could upload somewhere? So annoying to finally install all my mods and find that the one thing I still need is ungettable
