It came back, despite a fresh install of Chrome. Anti-virus scan does show anything negative.
It's definitely linked to Mango, it doesn't show up if Mango is not active.

OK, so, if nothing is running, there's no attacks. if google chrome is running, there's no attacks. the second Mango starts, there are attacks, 62 since I last cleared the logs.   |

A few questions. Q1. device you use, Desktop/notebook or (not so) Smart Phone? Q2. Do you use an ad-blocker? Q3. How much did you drink last night? The above is the 'pro bono' part. Since it's the 1st of January and you're a fellow BM I can offer you more advise for a price I only charge suckers friends.  |

Since it's the 1st of January and you're a fellow BM I can offer you more advise for a price I only charge suckers friends. Both, PC running windows 10 and chrome, all up to date, and android. Yes, adblock and Ghostery Nothing, I don't drink alcohol It's 100% Mango based but maybe only under Chrome. Feel free to put in as many consultancy hours as you feel necessary and send your invoice to that Nigerian Prince in Africa, he's dying to hear from anyone. |

Your answer to Q3 explains a lot  I'm using two different notebooks, one Windows 11 Pro, other Windows 10 Pro. Both have the standard Microsoft stuff. As browser I use mostly Opera, sometimes MS Edge, also at times Vivaldi. No ad-blocker. I may see advertisements but settings in opera demands a pop-up with "allow or block" if someone wants further access. |

So maybe Chrome based, that's looking more likely.

I blame Tony's Che Geuvara/Thatcher tshirt. Yes really. Just in case anyone should doubt Smokie's claim or the existence of my Maggie T-shirt collection:   God bless her. |

I was due to to do this anyway but this attack business made me bring it forward, I reloaded Windows et al. The result was that as soon as I opened Mango, Bitdefender spotted the attempt to connect by pictures of England. Soooo, if anyone is using windows/chrome, you're being attacked also, even if you don't realize it.
