wijllie Posted December 13, 2010 ID:360291 Share Posted December 13, 2010 After cleaning my cookies and a recheck I noticed a cookie from yadro.ruSince the browsers were fresh cleaned and I only visited local and regular sitesit's strange a cookie from a Russian website appears without visiting that website(or any other Russian website). A full scan with NIS2011 and MBAM 1.50.0.1 with latestdefs (5306) was negative. I googled and found some websites reporting yadro.ru as mallwarebut since the sites themselves look suspicious to me I didn't visited them to get info.Anyone an idea if I could be infected or if this could be on my system by visiting a regularsite?Thanks in advance.UPDATEIt came to my mind I googled pictures to find a specific picture, probably one of thosepictures was hosted on this site (you see a popup of a picture in Google and the website is faded in the background)THIS SEEMS TO ME A SERIOUS HAZARDI mean just by browsing for pictures could be a high risk treath?I would like to now if the IP blocker of MBAM also blocks these sites because you don't visite them "directly"? (Never seen blocking a IP while searching)! If not maybe a good tip to program MBAM to investigate when browsing Google Pictures because you load hundreds of sites simultaneously on ONE page...

mountaintree16 Posted December 13, 2010 ID:360384 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Google pictures now fades the background of the pictures while showing the picture itself in the middle now, that is normal... I don't like the new Google images setup personally To answer your question, I have most definitely gotten an IP block when Google image searching, and I wasn't even viewing the website the picture was on yet, just the thumbnail after the search... Do a quick scan with Malwarebytes & a full and/or quick scan with your AV. Chances are you are fine but if you are at all concerned you can take a visit to the malware removal forum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
