Asking to download a file that I didn't put

Post by phidias81 » Fri Nov 21, 2014 5:39 am

A user warned me that while he was visiting my website he was asked to download a file.
Here the screenshot

He was using Nexus 5 running Lollipop.

It never happened to me, and even doing screenshot I cannot replicate the issue.
I also just rebuilt my website (following the orthodox procedure) a few weeks ago after a previous hack, so I doubt it's any infection, hack or whatever.

What could it be? Maybe just a missing plugin?

What do you mean? To scan the website for spam, or if I have a similar plugin?

I cannot get the mesage whatever browser I try on the Merapi-page. (btw that image must be of your "old site" since your current site looks completely different or is that not on the nomadtravellers site? I suspect this is an infection of the browser of your user and not your site

The website is still Nomad Travellers. Which Image you mean? The screenshot? It's still from the new version of the site
