BornSlippy Posted August 29, 2012 ID:591385 Share Posted August 29, 2012 You can wait for Expert confirmation but I strongly suspect you have a serious infection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile360 Posted August 29, 2012 ID:591395 Share Posted August 29, 2012 It could be due to infection, a hijacked router or modem, or simply a regional ad embedded in their website that none of us can see, all of which would explain why we aren't seeing any IP blocks when visiting that website while you are.I would recommend updating your database if you've not done so already to see if the block still occurs, and if it does, then I'd highly recommend getting your systems checked for infection and possibly resetting your modem or router to verify that that's not the cause.

MysteryFCM Posted August 30, 2012 ID:591556 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The block is being caused by a geo-specific advert. The IP belongs to OpenX, and has been compromised more times than I can count. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kkdvkk Posted September 4, 2012 ID:593445 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hi All,I had the same issue these morning.I update my flash version, and when I arrive to the landing page, appears the warning “Successfully blocked access to a potentially malicious website" with an IP address of 173.241.240.153” .Then, a banner with adobe advertise that has in the top of the web, has been locked.I check in mi history document and I do it in the official website, then I use the malwarebytes and the security essentials and nothing bad appears, so I think it’s probably a false positive, because I don’t think adobe has a malware on his website.Maybe it could be some track program or validate version. ¿ could you ask adobe ?
