i keep getting a page blocking me from websites that says:
"What happened?
Your computer or another computer on your network is compromised with a virus. This allows online criminals to use it as part of a botnet to send spam and attack websites.
Why am I seeing this page?
This website is participating in a project to stop attacks and educate visitors with infected computers about how they can clean up their machines.
What should I do?
Make sure your anti-virus software is up to date and run a full scan.
When will this restriction go away?
This restriction will disappear when no more harmful behavior is detected. Completing the challenge above proves you are a human and gives you temporary access. You can ask the website owner to permanently whitelist you."
it says its a security measure provided by something called cloudflare.
now, ive done 2 virus scans, one with malwarebytes, one with avira. used rkill to end any possible active malware first, used tdsskiller to check for rootkits. everything came up clean.
this doesn't look like any kind of scan, since its not downloading anything on my computer, or trying to recommend i buy any antivirus program, but saying i should do a scan with whatever i already have, and since this is happening on various websites and it only started doing it yesterday, it must be something new. either a newly created security measure malfunctioning, or a new problem.
as far as i can tell, my computer is clean. the only other possibility then, is that its coming from something else on my network, which im supposed to be the only one on. my internet is password protected, but... perhaps somehow someone got in. not sure how.
how can i check and see if someone else is using my wireless network? im using xfinity wireless from comcast if it helps.
