Last night at home when I fired up "my autosport" it wanted me to install Java and made it unable to leave the page (or close the browser). Because I have so many addons and stuff I figured it was one of those playing up, killed my browser and forgot about it. This morning when I logged into "my autosport" at work the exact same thing...

 

Can someone look into this to make sure the site has not been compromised in any way?

When I was browsing earlier today through the news section my Avast software told me that it caught a Java related virus.

 

Here some pointers, that might give you guys a clue. And since this happened only once so far, my guess would be it came through by some of the ads. (I'm a subscriber)

 

  Java:CVE-2012-1723-MP [Expl]

Thanks for reporting these two (seemingly related) issues.

 

I'll pass this onto our development team and see what they can do...

Before or after the other issues are resolved?

For the last day or two my my.autosport page has only been loading up the left column of the 4 or 5 I have set up. Attempted clearing cookies/cache/etc but no go. Any help would be most appreciated.

The issues around the odd Java notices should now be resolved - if anyone sees anything similar to this, please could they let me know?

If there was malware served through ads the forum / myautosport users should know about this. Can anyone shed some light on this?
