Constant malware popups from Firefox

system · 2015-11-23T21:11:09.000Z

Avast keeps blocking infections from the same source - http://d.pzkysq.pink/
I believe it’s always either .jpg’s or .bmp’s although I don’t understand from which Firefox tab are they coming from.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

This also happens with Chrome and IE. It’s also from the same URL.

I am also receiving the same popup in Firefox and I was able to identify the tab (tvguide.com/listings) that is issuing the request to the site that is being blocked. Do either of you have a tab for tvguide?

No, not me. It’s strange because I don’t think my Firefox activity changed in anyway. I just have my usual tabs on.

Going to go out on a limb here and ask how many of you have Adobe “unofficially” on your system?

Well I do. Might it be related?

The domain d.pzkysq.pink was removed from our blacklist

I also have Adobe but mine is set to “Ask to activate”. It appears that any tab in either Firefox or Chrome that makes a request to (http://d.pzkysq.pink/) get the blocked popup.

Please excuse my double post. And Thank You HonzaZ.

I’ve been getting the same thing. For me I found it was the TV.com site that was causing the problem.

The domain d.pzkysq.pink was removed from our blacklist

Does this mean it’s safe and I should just add it as an exception?
Excuse my density, btw.

Being a newbie, I apparently posted this in the wrong section of the forum:

My Avast keeps blocking <http://d.pzkysq.pink/ads.bmp?z=186912248> (the numbers at the end may change each time) every 5 minutes or less, and it keeps coming back. Avast identifies it as “infection: URL:Mal2” and gives the process as “C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” (here it is again, just now). Any solution?

I wanted to at least alert Avast and users so this aggravation is on the radar, and I can see that it already has a strong track

Run a manual update, reboot computer and see if detection is gone ...

Reloaded and rebooted seems to have corrected the problem. Thanks for the correction.

system · 2015-11-23T23:47:58.000Z

I believe it’s solved now. It’s been about an hour and no popups, while before it happened every 5 minutes, at least.

Thank you very much for your help.
