    Sone of you may have read this allready,
    but since its important im posting it here!

    If you're planning on looking for new maps, UIs or any other mods then avoid FPS Banana for a while. They've been infected with the "Black Internet" trojan.

    Full Credit to Rhalle and GTFO Gaming for finding this.


    Edit: people are getting a little too paranoid over this. Don't panic at every process you don't recognise, if it looks suspicios then a look in google should help you find sites with info on it. At the moment, mainly be concerned about the processes mentioned.

    Have a read over this again:


    As of right now, the only working real-time detection and stopping of this virus is Kaspersky. Kaspersky will NOT remove the virus if you already have it.
    The virus is obtained through a Java exploit from the advertisements on FPSBanana. Adblock will NOT stop you from getting this virus. Even if you have Ripe, you can still get this virus.
    Kaspersky, seems to be your best chance of preventing the virus from being installed.

    Don't panic, it won't help things. There's a good chance most/many of you don't have it - it's worth a check though.

    It's not like you'd be safe if you visit it with firefox. The difference is, that many Firefox users use no-script, which blocks the Java-Script responsible for the virus. ;)
