itman 1,801 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Eset blocked access to the web page. As such, nothing could have been downloaded and you are not infected with anything.
Mister Softee 0 Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 So how can I stop this from happening? Just happened 2X again today (just now)! Hmmmmm LOL
itman 1,801 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Quote Short description JS/Chromex.Submelius is a trojan that redirects the browser to a specific URL location with malicious software. The program code of the malware is usually embedded in HTML pages. http://www.virusradar.com/en/JS_Chromex.Submelius/detail Robtex displays that this IP, 67.205.159.231, is associated with this URL, allenberrebbi.com, but that URL is not routable. Since it is only happening in Chrome, you might have inadvertently installed a malicious extension. Or, whatever web sites you are frequenting have a page that is infected with a malicious javascript. The later is most likely. Edited January 24, 2018 by itman
Mister Softee 0 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Posted January 26, 2018 It only happens on my AOL tab, how can I get rid of that extension, if that's what it is? Thanks in advance! Eric
itman 1,801 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Appears someone has hijacked the URL associated with AOL online e-mail. Below is a screen shot of what I get when I enter https:\\mail.aol.com in IE11. I suggest if you are in the U.S., you use this URL instead: https://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp?sitedomain=sns.mail.aol.com&seamless=novl&lang=en&locale=US&authLev=0&siteState=uv%3AAOL|rt%3ASTD|at%3ASNS|lc%3Aen_US|ld%3Amail.aol.com|snt%3AScreenName|sid%3A861b8cd6-c3a5-4f5c-9da5-307b9ad05303|qp%3A|&offerId=newmail-en-us-v2 Edited January 26, 2018 by itman
