Copper Foil Laminates - Flex sensors

From you description it looks like they display a popup ? FF does not even warn about a potential popup or even a potential malware/unsafe site.
Watched code never compiles.
Theres something wrong with the site, I've just done a screenshot of the site to prove it and uploaded it to my Photobucket account: Screenshot

No, no problems - well, I'm using Chrome and I didn't see any problems. Kaspersky didn't moan or anything. I might run a scan just in case...

It may only be affecting Opera then, I've just done a screenshot and uploaded it: Screenshot

Wow! No, didn't see that at all! Sure you haven't got any nasties lurking on your machine? :)

I don't think my machine has got anything, my Anti-virus hasn't found anything. It's unusual for something like this to happen to Opera :doh: I don't think I've ever had a problem with it before!

Very strange! FYI, I clicked on the link again and left it there for ~minute, no nasty screen appeared. So I dunno what's going on at your end! Good luck :)

Do not go on the link that is in that post, the site looks OK at first, but then redirects to some other site, and then it comes up with a warning saying something along the lines of "You need to install anti malware" and has a screenshot of Windows Explorer. The site is clearly some kind of site that tries to get unsuspecting users to click the OK button and install a load of crap. Edit: Heres a pic of it to prove it. ^. I think the site only affects Opera as it does not seem to affect IE, Chrome, or FF.

Haven't done a search myself, but have you tried Maplin? I think it's Maplin.co.uk They're usually pretty good for all kinds of stuff.. :)

Yes I did have a look at Maplin but they don't have it.

Since no one else gets this, it may be that your Opera is infected or has a trojan plugin :-)

I tried the link again and I don't get/see anything funny. I use Firefox The McAfee SiteAdvisor shows it as being fine (green).

I got hit with the same fake antivirus attack last night on Facebook - twice! Both times it did a browser hijack within a few minutes of entering the Farmtown game. It's not a new approach, as an almost identical attack has been reported sporadically at work for months, but it is a new (January) virus payload, according to Computer Associates. The current variant is called 'fake Antivir' and installs the virus code if you click on OK at any point. Closing the browser instance is supposed to block the installation.

Did you click the link? On my computer it gets redirected to some virus ridden website.

Where in the UK can I buy 'copper foil laminates'? I want to make these bi-directional flex sensors: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-Bi-Directional-Flex-Sensors/[^]

You might want to try using this stuff[^], if you can find a distributor. Alternatively, you may want to beg for a free sample from their Sales & Support[^] page. You'll probably have to lie, and convince them that you're evaluating their product for use in a new product of your own with projected high volume sales, but that's only hard to do the first time. :-D What you're trying to build is a form of strain gage, which are commonly used for measurements of deflection in solid materials. They are available commercially, but can be very expensive. This type of device is typically used as one leg of a Wheatstone bridge to linearize the response and increase sensitivity. The circuit is excited with a small ac or dc (ac has some advantages), and the output coupled into a operational amplifier. The amplified output can be digitized, with or without pre-filtering, and used for all manner of handy calculations. If you're not averse to spending some cash, look into commercial strain gages; they're precision devices and far more accurate and dependable than the homebrew kind. Also, keep in mind that strain gages increase in resistance when flexed, while the sandwich variety decreases with increasing strain.

Twice? Does your computer have a virus?

Nope - freshly scanned. And no malware that AdAware or CA Antispyware can find.

I've just scanned with Sophos, didn't find anything:thumbsup: Just doing a scan with AdAware now. Maybe it is somehow a browser hijack from the server end?

That's what I suspect, and when I later returned to the Farmtown game from Facebook, it did not happen again. I suspect that the owners of the site detected it and removed it quietly. According to CA, this is currently the top threat in their list, with a risk rating of Medium. They also provide complete details of the files and registry changes that have to be removed to get rid of the thing if infected. None exist on my machines.

Do you have a link to the details of the registry changes? I would like to check my machine :)
