Heads up - Website malware warning
« on: Sat, 17 October 2009, 09:19:23 »
I was trying to access the Keyboard Co website earlier, when my browser (Google Chrome) gave me an error message about how the Keyboard Co website contained elements from 'doublebanner.ru', a website that it claimed hosted malware and/or spyware elements. It wouldnt let me access the page until I told it to ignore the problem. Just thought I'd let you know in case whatever issue here scares away potential customers.

Have you tried other browsers? I have no problems with Firefox 3.5.3

I had this problem approximately two Weeks ago as I tried to enter their site to search for items. I entered their site after Avast warning and had a good look at their products. Having regretted my stupid thoughtless actions,  I scanned my PC and found a TROJAN (just one) and promptly deleted it.

The trojan may not have been from the keyboard company of course... althought maybe it's time to fix the site, as I suspect sales will trend rapidly towards zero until this problem is fixed?

I think you're safe if you're running FireFox with NoScript, and it blocks the javascript from doublebanner.ru.

[strike]It might be a false warning anyway,[/strike] Googling it doesn't find much. It does find this thread though!

Hi Everyone.

Yes, this is a problem we had a couple of weeks ago.
We fixed it then but it appeared again over the weekend. (It seems we are popular).
We've cleaned it today so it is OK now. We are working hard to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Please let us know if you see it again.

Bruce.
