Sub, I went on to the forum a few times today and twice Firefox 31 tried to install software automagically. Is there anyway you can tell Google about this?

Sorry, I don't get it. What's it complaining about? I can't quite read that text.

I guess I'm just looking for you to see if you can ask google to not put up adds that are scripted to install software.

That one launched to instant-download.net and the exe was from Media Systems Software Ireland Ltd.

So you're thinking this is from the google ads? Surely they wouldn't be doing that anyway.

Did you click on an ad, or just appeared? Can anyone else confirm they're seeing the same thing? I haven't seen it here.

I tried several searches around this, and couldn't find info.

This "media player outdated" message got me thinking. Is it something like an animation or video ad and firefox doesn't think it's got an appropriate version of flash installed and this is firefox's way of trying to update the flash player?

The ad plus the dialog just appeared with redirection from the forum (twice once after clearing the cache) without me doing anything. Since it is a bogus media player update, I don't see it coming from firefox itself.

I used FF 31 and haven't seen this......yet. Not sure if it matters but I keep this tab open all day as well as other tabs and rarely log out.

Odd. I've added "instant-download.net" to the list of blocked ad urls, and hopefully that'll stop it happening again.

I'd be interested to hear if any others are seeing this though.

I've just done some research:

Instant-Download.net is:
Owned by Entarion Ltd.
Address: Stratigou Spyrou Stathopoulou
14B 3066, Limassol, Cyprus

This is the same company that owns Debsoft.com and soft29.net
From http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-debsoft-virus/
Quote:If you are seeing random pop-up ads from Debsoft.com within Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome, then your computer is infected with an adware or a potentially unwanted program.

Looks like you may have found the next incarnation Martin :eek:

Time for some adwcleaner / malwarebytes action ? All though I can't find any reference to Instant-download.net yet.

Not saying it has anything to do with it, but there are a lot of Russians in Cyprus these days.
It's not an overly complicated system - it's more - overly simple operatives  Huh
