The Avast forum software (SMF) was hacked, most like lyvia an unpatched exploit. The IFRAME exploit contained a link to h__p://mediacount.net/strong/020sdsfg which contained code for Windows Animated Cursor Stack Overflow Vulnerability.

Avast has removed the IFRAME exploit and the forum is back online.

Who is MediaCount? I'm glad they are back online. Bad for a AV site to get hacked.

They are a Advert site.
I threw out the map a long time ago. Now I go my own direction!

The MediaCount Homepage is the most unprofessional looking homepage for and advert company I have ever seen.  I can throw together something better in 5 minutes.The page reads like a scam.  From everything I have found the sole purpose behind the domain is to serve malware.
