Hi,

All my .html files having schedule-analytics.com reference. In each web page is fired a new page to findbetterresults.com

This problem raised only when b4j-ABMaterial webapp is run.


Using, ABM 2.17, Windows Xp, Opera, Chrome, Firefox.

Thanks for letting me know!

Pre 2.50 versions now used a cached version for speed. This cached version seems to have stopped providing this service and some malicious site has bought this domain. 2.50+ uses the default (not cached version) https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js as from 2017 Google wants you to use a secure https to get the script.

Set he TrackingID="" to disable Google analytics for now until the public update 2.51 is released (will be a couple of weeks)

Right after sending the message I thought to disconnect page.usegoogleanalytics call and all ok.

Since yesterday afternoon I have taken up with this theme.

I searched INet, followed in the footsteps of several web pages, who wanted to delete the virus, and I did not get it. I installed malwarebytes, I used CCleaner and avast antivirus, I cleaned windows registry, manually boot services, cleaned data program from user profile directory, deleted in chrome google as default search engine, I broke the boot of several programs that I had to restore and nothing ...

I also looked for information in the forum and there was nothing.

And today I ask, and it seems that it was a well-known topic ... Some users NOW say that the same thing happens to them. Sorry to say: I do not understand.

@xamminf Even I was not aware that it now pointed to a malicious site. I really thought it still worked, and just for safety, I changed it in v2.50 to follow Googles new guidelines.

I'm very sorry this caused you such troubles, but there was no malintent from me nor any other forum user, I assure you. If I had known, I would've posted it everywhere.
