Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I am suddenly getting this webpage: https://zlane.digitalchocolate.com/dead/
does anyone know about it and what it's doing?
iphone 3GS, iPhone OS 3.1.2, iMac
What do you mean by "getting this webpage?" Did you click on something to get there, or does it open upon launching your web browser, or what?
When I open Safari, the page opens by itself.
On the iPhone or on a Mac? If the latter which one and what version of OS X are you running?
iMac
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53
Sounds like it could be the FlashBack Trojan or the latest derivative of it.
If you haven't already, disable Java (but not Javascript) and ensure you have installed all available updates from Apple.
Users with Intel Macs running Snow Leopard OS 10.6 or Lion OS 10.7 should ensure that they have downloaded all the recent Java updates from Apple, which are designed to prevent infection and also remove any infection already present.
New Macs running Lion do not have either Flash Player nor Java installed. If you running Lion and have not already downloaded and installed Java, you should download the ‘Flashback malware removal tool’ from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5246 (356KB) which includes the same code as the Java update that plugged a security hole which allowed the malware to automatically install itself without admin authorization.
You can also use this to check whether you have been infected (for Intel Macs only) and remove it if required:

Quit Safari while holding down the option key. Relaunch.
