Hi all,

I was submitting an article to Digg when I got this on my screen:

Reported Attack Site!


This web site at antispywaremaster.com has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Attack sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.

Some attack sites intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.

As anyone else experienced the same thing?

That was good to hear - well, not for the OP but I'm glad that there isn't a problem with Digg. I hadn't heard of one but the response saved me the time of checking it out for myself...lol.

I had the exact same experience specifically while surfing Digg.

I went and did some scans, and looked in the registry for known entries for this malware, and came back with nothing. I think it's possible that Digg has been hacked. I am continuing to search my computer, and will report if I find anything.

I guess It is time to use yahoo buzz. There security and hardware should be better by far. Personally I have had no problems with Digg but have not visited it for a couple weeks due to move.

Note to hatgreeting, walkingbird and EdTheil, it came from my computer. I had a Trojan. I took care of it. The problem is solved.

Digg had nothing to do with it.
