Plusnet and superfish.

So my internet just went down for the second time for about a minute or two, soon as it came back up i tried to log into the router where i was told...
Network Error...
Your requested host could not be reached. Click on the link below to retry.
http://www.superfish.com/ws/sf_main.jsp?dlsource=gomciru
Upon clicking it i was greeted with...

if (window == top && !window.similarproducts && navigator.appVersion.toLowerCase().indexOf('msie 7') == -1) { (function() { var nofish = false; var metaTags = document.getElementsByTagName('meta'); var metaTag; var windowLocation = window.location.href.toLowerCase(); for (var i=0, l=metaTags.length; i -1 && url.indexOf( "localhost" ) == -1) { url = url.replace("http:","https:"); } else { url = url.replace("https","http"); } var h = d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]; var s = d.createElement( js ? "script" : 'link' ); if( js ){ s.type = "text/javascript"; s.src = url; }else{ s.rel = "stylesheet"; s.href = url; } if(cb){ s.onload = ( function( prm ){ return function(){ cb( prm ); } })( url ); // IE s.onreadystatechange = ( function( prm ) { return function(){ if (this.readyState == 'complete' || this.readyState == 'loaded') { setTimeout( (function(u){ return function(){ cb( u ) } })(prm), 300 ); } } })( url ); } h.appendChild(s); return s; } }; var srcRegex = /\/sf_main\.|\/sf_conduit\.|\/sf_conduit_mam\.|\/sf_conduit_mam_app\.|\/sfw\./i; // Test for script tag src that may contain the app params query string var queryStringRegex = /CTID=(CT2680812|CT2652911|CT2659749|CT2695421|CT2666540)/i // Test for "specialsavings" patch var retryCounter = 1; // Used in the run() function as a fallback condition after 5 attempts var timeoutHandle; function extractQueryString() { var queryString = ''; var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script'); var scriptSrc; try { for (var i=0, l=scripts.length; i -1 && getLocalStorageUrl.indexOf( "localhost" ) == -1) { getLocalStorageUrl = getLocalStorageUrl.replace("http:","https:"); } else { getLocalStorageUrl = getLocalStorageUrl.replace("https:","http:"); } var ifrm; ifrm = document.createElement("IFRAME"); ifrm.setAttribute("src", getLocalStorageUrl); ifrm.setAttribute("style", "position:absolute; top:-20px; left:-20px;"); ifrm.setAttribute("id", "sfPostLocalStorage"); ifrm.style.width = "1px"; ifrm.style.height = "1px"; if(syncLocalStorageFromUrl !== 'NA' && syncLocalStorageFromUrl.split('/')[2] !== currentDomain.split('/')[2]){ log("Need to sync"); xdmsg.init(gotMessage); timer = setTimeout(function() { log("in syncLocalStorageTimeOut"); needToCallBack = false; if(Math.floor(Math.random() * 10) == 1) { var url = currentDomain + "trackSession.action?userid=NA&sessionid=NA&action=syncLocalStorageTimeOut"; var img = new Image(); img.src = url; } if (callback && typeof(callback) === 'function') { callback(); } }, 5000); document.body.appendChild(ifrm); log("Iframe created"); if (callback && typeof(callback) === 'function') { endCallback = callback; } } else { log("No need to sync"); if (callback && typeof(callback) === 'function') { callback(); } } } return { createIframe: createIframe }; })(); function run() { var queryString = extractQueryString(); timeoutHandle && clearTimeout(timeoutHandle); if (queryString || retryCounter >= 5) { eval("window.s"+"u"+"p"+"e"+"r"+"f"+"i"+"s"+"h"+"=similarproducts"); syncLocalStorage.createIframe(queryString + '&ver=14.09.05.1',function() { loadApp(queryString); }); } else { retryCounter++; timeoutHandle = setTimeout(run, 50); } } /* --- Begin app loading cycle --- */ run(); })(); }

Isn't superfish an ad company? Confused as to why they are on the router login./

Re: Plusnet and superfish.

Have you tried a reboot or a hard reset of the router to see if it still presents itself ?Huh
Is this on the PN TG582n ?Huh

Re: Plusnet and superfish.

The problem sorted its self out with a page refresh and it took me to the main router page with the options, im just curious as to why a superfish.com link was provided within the router login as you would be. Do the staff read this section?

Re: Plusnet and superfish.

One of the mods will probably move it to Broadband and Routers, which would seem to be appropriate.

Re: Plusnet and superfish.

Hmmmm!
Not sure but sounds like you may have picked up an infection afteral I surmise you are referring to the web browser page to access the Router GUI
I found this https://www.google.co.uk/#q=superfish.com+virus and it does look like if you clicked on a link in the browser whilst the network connection was down one might have just gotten a page of script???
Were I in your shoes I would immediately start a thorough scan with whatever anti virus, anti Malware etc you are using routinely!
Hope you can sort it AOK? Smiley

Re: Plusnet and superfish.

First thanks to oldjim for moving this i missed the router thread.
@routefinder - I already know about superfish and the possibility of a virus and i admit i have not done a check on my computer, main reason being it was on the router pages which last time i checked isn;t my computer. Also, all the links even the one i copied and pasted are removed by my adblocker AdGuard, the only reason i saw it this time is because it detected that i was accessing my router so does not filter the router pages.
I shall however run a quick scan and see what i find with hitman, adwcleaner and malwarebytes. But ive had nothing from Kaspersky and rarly get infections even from the amount of dodgy sites i visit.
Edit:
ADWCleaner : Clean
Malwarebytes: Clean
