Eventual virus issue
#1
Since today I've started to get reports of links on the site randomly re-directing to other sites. There's also been one report of an antivirus blocking the site.

Considering the redirecting to porn sites, this isn't likely a dangerous virus, it's just annoying and of course needs to be dealt with.

I'll be working with this when I can, I'd appreciate any new reports to be posted in this thread so we get a good view of what we're dealing with.

An update on this before I sleep.

I've done a whole bunch of technical mumbo-jumbo to find an issue if there is any as well as fixed a plugin that mark all links and attachments red if there's an issue. So far, we got nothing. Our files have not been tampered with and for such simple "virus" it sure has to be complicated if not even a virus scan finds it.

Thus I ask that you do not panic and post all you find here, if it continues I'll be contacting our host. It is possible that's where the error lies.

OBSERVE AND BE ADVICED

There's nothing wrong with our site, www.mesalia.net, it's been confirmed by multiple security scans, an anti-virus, and a thorough check of 99% of all our files and their code (yes that did take a lot of time but I have my methods), it is likely it's on your end. It can be either;

1) Your browser. Remove cookies, search your computer for viruses and if the issue still continues, notify us here.

2) If you've only faced that your anti-virus warns you, it's possible your anti-virus just detects a similarity to a harmful code/file. Double check if it's really an issue, your anti-virus should provide you with enough information, often you can click "show full info" or the like. If you're uncertain of your find, contact me and show me all the info your anti-virus provides you with.
