This morning, this site attempted to install malware masquerading as a java update onto my PC. Norton caught it, but y'all should really look into it.

That box only gives you one option..... that was the red flag for me because it otherwise looked legit.
I didn't click the box, just closed the whole page.

What happens when people stop logging in here from their work computers because of this stuff.... 50% traffic loss? 60%?
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
It wouldn't be that hard to have a pay-feature and block out all of the BS.
Many sites do it.... people I know do it... you don't need a corporation of finance managers to do it.. it's actually pretty simple....

Yes, normally i would be able to but because it takes you off the page its too late to get a screenshot of what the culprit might be, i was on uga page when it happened if that helps, and my first post in this topic was probably 2 minutes after the incident, if that helps.
I do appreciate your attention to the matter!

If you're using Chrome, it opens a separate tab. I'll try again later from my home computer (work PC zaps everything).
This happened about 30 minutes before I posted the original topic.

It's an exploit designed to fool the user into thinking it's a legitimate update.
The link was something to the effect of "site39.XXXX.XXXXX.javeupdate.exe"

That's five different users reporting the same issue. This is now an IT/IA issue.
