Best fix being uninstalling Norton and using Vast or AVG as your AV and running Super Anti Spyware or Malwarbytes a couple of times a month.

Dear All,

The problem that some of our users are experiencing appears to be caused by an update that Symantec/Nortons software have done recently. If you are using other security software though and see a message along the lines of "Attacker URL Zombie exploit toolkit request", please let us know. We are currently working on a fix for this as priority.

But if you turn Norton off, the problem still exists.

[the weatherman] 12/1/2011 08:25

ok for me on avg

[pro_s2009] 12/1/2011 08:20

No problem for me.

Seems like its a Norton problem.

[tomkin] 12/1/2011 08:20

suspect it's a Norton problem

avast seems fine

or else avast ain't doing its job ;-)

[dafydd123] 12/1/2011 08:14

I bet it's Norton only. Anyone else having a problem while running a different AV?

[zengas] 12/1/2011 08:13

Norton for me.

It's definitely an advfn problem.

[petralva] 12/1/2011 08:13

It has to be advfn.........no probs on the competitors site

[pmeldrum] 12/1/2011 08:12

Same problem here too

Using Norton

[dafydd123] 12/1/2011 08:11

What AV is everyone using? Is it Norton related? I'm on Avast. What about AVG or MCAfee? Any users having problems using these?

[amazon_woman] 12/1/2011 08:10

Same here and they are not answering the phone !!

[darrens] 12/1/2011 08:05

me too, I'm using norton internet security and most pages on advfn give me an error:

Risk Name: HTTP Zombie Exploit Toolkit Request

[zengas] 12/1/2011 07:58

Even with intrusion prevention off, i can only get one streaming monitor. Switching to another monitor page and nothing loads.

[mr.oz] 12/1/2011 07:57

Its real
No idea the severity of the attacker

[sharewinner2] 12/1/2011 07:56

Hi guys. I just turned off my intrusion protection to access my monitor but then put it back on. Is it wise to have it off, is this a real virus threat?

[petralva] 12/1/2011 07:54

Even on the rns............it's the same

The ftse trading thread below is safe and doesn't have the normal ADVFN charting - I am sure its their JAVA

[tomkin] 12/1/2011 07:41

no problems when using avast

perhaps one of their ads playing up?

[mr.oz] 12/1/2011 07:39

So , its possibly Java related , if monitor too

[zengas] 12/1/2011 07:39

Would pay to have another monitor/feed provider.

Streaming down. Really regular occurrence with advfn this past year for glitches which seem to be getting worse.

Seriously fed up with this.

[godin] 12/1/2011 07:38
