Windows defender showed it as being a trojan- it appeared as a popup with a sports betting page popup anytime I opened my browser. I quarantined it and took care of it and did a few different scans with windows defender and malware bytes, all of which came back negative after the initial scan.

The sites I visited were:

sportssurge (v2)

steameast (v2)

freesports

susflix

themoviearchive

I went through and scanned all of these websites with virustotal this morning, and it came back with a detection on susflix for phishing. Susflix was listed as a goated site in the FMHY wiki, so maybe I should reach out and let them know about it just in case?

I assume this is the site that installed it as I have used every site other than that on both PC's and have had no problems whatsoever on my other one. Either that, or one of the links that was given by sportsurge had a virus in the stream or otherwise somewhere else in the link- either way, I didn't download anything so I got it straight from the browser.

Just thought I'd let y'all know to keep your guard up! Happy sailing!

You never visit this kind of sites without a minimum of an ad blocker installed. My advice :

  1. uBlock Origin with the recommended filters installed > https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists
  2. A Userscript Managers (I use Tampermonkey) with an anti ad-block killers scripts.

Instead of tempermonkey i use violentmonkey it's open source and does the same thing.

violentmonkey

It's still in beta, maybe will give it a try when a stable release is out.

Last stable release was v2.15.0, released last month.
