Some strange pop-ups?

Hi!

I have problems with my site because it is giving some strange pop-ups and one of my forum didn't work, because it tried to give some odd site.

Like this: http://elite.taideteos.net/ (pop-ups!)

Somebody said that my site has been infected, so what should I do? Omfg. The FTP and everything is working fine.

I'm not seeing any popups.

I'm using firefox 1.5.0.1 on Linux/x86.

Just to confirm what you are seeing: One pop-up came up and my IE pop-up blocker blocked additional pop-ups. I would start digging around your files and see what has changed.

I'm no security expert for servers so hopefully someone with more experience will help.

But doesn't Firefox block the pop-ups? Ok, there isn't anything anymore but there were some strange adds coming an hour ago.

(Is there no way to check is your site infected?)

It's probably coming from that webstats thing you have on your page. I haven't seen any popups, but those things usually use them.

i've seen many of this things lately. Mainly because of a Nedstat Basic webcounter or a webstats4u counter.

edit: Yup, it's the webstats4u counter that creating the popups/popunders
