ActiveX installation - DO NOT INSTALL!!!

[Creech]

Hi folks,

It seems that on every AP page you visit, it's asking you if you want to install an ActiveX control. Please do not install it. I have no idea where it came from or what it is. I am following up with our hosting service as we speak.

So if you see this on your browser info bar:

This website wants to install the following add-on: 'InstallerC6 from 'Telecom Italia Media S.p.A.'. If you trust the website and the add-on and want to install it, click here...

DO NOT INSTALL IT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!!

PS. If anyone knows what it's all about please PM me.

Problem rectified for now. We are still investigating how the code was installed onto our website. Some small minded f*ckwit hacked our code and if I get to the bottom of it they are going to get ripped a new one.

Thanks to Marty for your assistance.

For us Firefox users - were we at more risk or less? Eg, didd IE ask but Firefox just allowed sort of thing?

I have had this active X on AP before (last year). Pretty crap act really.

Dunno about you - but FF on my other laptop (this one) didn't even blink? No problem at all...

The one thing that annoys me is FF won't log in to the homepage automatically, if I pull unread threads from the history - it logs me in. If I go to ap.com - I appear as a guest...

Hmm -  is right, not sure what's happening there.

Yeah ditto - I had the same thing when I used Chrome a while back too, all three browsers work fine on AA - this forum software seems happy with IE, but not fox or chrome?

My user/pass is filled in on the BOTTOM login window (never the top one) - I have to press the login button every time. Checking the tick box to keep me logged in makes no difference.

Never had a problem with either Firefox or Chrome.
