As I’ve just had my thread on this topic closed (excuse me for not following a 3 month old thread….), I’ll post here – I presume that’s what the mods would prefer?
It helps to have all the information in one place rather than have 37 identical threads running concurrently. Links and screenshots are helpful, “me too” less so if it’s a sitewide problem.
I missed this earlier,
I occasionally use the Dolphin browser on Android and regularly get a stream of .swf files trying download. Was up to 30 per page load last week but has calmed down recently.
.swf is a Shockwave Flash file, it’s not inherently malicious or rogue (but could be of course). If it’s trying to download then presumably that browser doesn’t support Shockwave.
Why it’s sending so many I don’t know, maybe the server goes, “oh, that didn’t work, I’ll try again”? </speculation>
