LesterRam Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Hi, keep getting download prompt for ghostery.js from secure-ds.serving-sys.com (open or save 27.3kb) which is specific to this site, I think the genuine extension maybe a firefox update which I don't use, could it be malware? started yesterday and continued today. thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Just ran a scan and it's not coming from any files on this site, found this as someone had similar on Digital Spy, turned out to be malware on their pc http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2038205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Same thing on several sites http://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Trust-Safety/Why-do-I-keep-getting-this-pop-up-save-ghostery-js-from-ds/qaq-p/4103635 http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/threads/ghostery-js.309520/ http://forums.motorhomefacts.com/86-computer-help/124390-ghostery-javascript.html#/forumsite/21236/topics/124390?page=1 It's either malware on your system or a dodgy ad which has slipped through as all these sites use Adsense, looking through the review centre now for anything that looks suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I was getting the same earlier in the week, and just from this site. My security software and anti-malware scanners couldn't find anything. By Thursday it had stopped happening though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume it was through a dodgy ad that Google let slip through in that case. It wouldn't show up on any scans I run on the site as it's just a piece of Googke code which allows them access to stick the banners on. It has been known in the past to happen but Google are usually on it pretty quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Old thread, but found this when perusing Chrome's extensions. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ghostery/mlomiejdfkolichcflejclcbmpeaniij?utm_source=gmail It's an extension that picks up web trackers.
