Viruses On This Site

Lately, I have been encountering one virus after another on this site.

I am lucky my machine is mostly protected with anti-v software. On a site that is policed by the moderators and owners, why does this keep happening?

What steps are the managment taking here to combat this electronic disease(s)?

 

My Norton has blocked three "unauthorized access" attempts today, without any getting through my own unit. I don't know what can be done by Otto and the others at the "site" level itself, I just count on my personal Norton 2011.

 

Well, at least they must be informed that this occurs on their site more often than I care to admit.

I presume it is NOT other members who are perpetrating this, so what in the blue blazes is going on? If one of these bloody things gets through, I'll not be a very happy poster. It costs money to fix.

 

next time this happens could copy the link of the thread /post please, so we know what to look for.

 

I've got an idea of who it is...will keep you'al posted.

 

My security just blocked another one.

Seems to happen when you access the site through the main page, that is when you jump to the general page for the first time.

For the moderators, my software report said the File Name was 129.121.212.1/Home/index.php

Threat name was Exploit Blackhole Exploit Kit (type 1889)

Please do not click on the above.

 

I'll send the info to Otto . Hopefully it's a false postive.

 

Yeah, I've had the warnings also, both at home and at work.

 

Thanks for the info mate.

Any recollection which link redirected you to the said page?
Will help the admins.

Also for those of you who have a firewall up, i'd suggest you block the ip range from 129.121.0.0 to 129.121.255.255. If you dont, i'd suggest you get one, an example being peerblock.

thanks for the info, Otto has been informed with link and the I.P. adress.

 

No link direction, but a security window pops up when you go to the 'Forum' for the first time for your daily visit.

There was another type that was blocked, but I did not have the presence of mind to write it down.

Hope this helps. These bloody viruses are annoying to say the least.

 

I hope no one is still sticking to internet explorer here, if you are, you are literally begging to be attacked.

Regards,
TBA

 

I love this site but the warnings are alarming.

Last Sunday I got one, I stayed away until today and got another.

These creeps that pull this nonsense need their kiesters kicked !

 

I just got a "MalWare" warning from what appears to be Google, however when I went to my Norton what I found was this:

All medium risk, all blocked. Don't know what is going on or why, this is the first MalWare warning I've ever received since Volga Boatman started claiming he was getting virus warnings.

 

Don´t worry about the warning Clint! I do have the Norton 360 and this warning pops up so often no matter if i´m on this site or not! So i ignore them.

 

Google warns the site is dangerous again....Happened months ago. Go in thru Yahoo and no problems whatsoever.

 

Same here - Google warns me that the site has malaware.

Like others, I also encountered this problem a few month back and this is the first time since then that i've had the warning.
