Had exactly the same this morning so forked out £15 for Bullguard Internet security. Covers 3 PC's for 1 yr.

HI, I was getting what you are getting, I have avast. but it appears to have stopped in the last few minutes I was about to report but then couldn't get the details.

Ps I had 2 spurious members contact me directly which I reported, with a conversation posted on my member page which was numerous links 30/40 saying there were to airlines, deleted & reported.

I got the same thing every time I refreshed the page. Luckily I was looking into buying new Internet Security (even though the Avast I had was free), so opted for Bullguard which had been reduced by 70% to £14.99 for a year and covers 3 PC's. My lads laptop is also covered now.

I think what every they got from IP 54.148.68.242 needs to be taken from their scripts

My hubbys PC system showed up he very same .
He has since reloaded an anti-virus protection up onto it
It has ceased to happen again .

My own PC has not had this happen at all .

Maybe like member adrian207 and my hubby - you may need to upload
a new antivirus protector system .

Appears only a few of you have been affected .
Noticed the report in on this matter too .
(let you know we have received this)

It maybe only people with Avast protection that it is infecting as the 3 of us that have reported it on this thread have all had Avast installed.

Anna, what antivirus are you using?
 
Yep - hubby PC same Avast antivirus protection package
Appears you could have possibly hit the nail on the head adrian207. :)

My PC has a different antivirus protection installed - hence none of this happened at all .

I don't think it's the fault of the antivirus when it is reporting an IP number that is then googled, shows to be a suspect site, the software may have picked up a bug or it's a faulty scrpt, I would refer it up the chain

Probably why not so many other members have reported the problem if they all have a different antivirus installed.
Might be a good idea if I report the problem to Avast. What's the betting they send me a box of chocolates as a good will gesture:D:D

Or a Santa sack of spuds ;):wacky:
 
I dropped avast ... way too intrusive for my liking. I use AVG Free edition and it's brilliant.
