Just Jack Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Ever since I looked at those links in the Dallas Cowboys New Stadium thread, I've been getting this warning from my Norton AV...

What's my solution? 864913[/snapback] I was just about to post about this. Your solution is: Norton's catching it, no problem. It's a stupid little file that can download other viruses to your machine. It seems to me as though someone hacked the board code and stuck it in (it happens, I've seen a few boards running this code that have had this issue. Probably some !@#$ing Fin fan...). The solution to dealing with this, for those who haven't or don't know, is: - Get anti-virus software if you don't have it. I recommend Panda Antivirus (google it) - Set "Automatic Prompting for File Downloads" in IE to "Enable" (Go to Tools, Internet Options. Under the Security tab, hit the "Custom Level" button, scroll down to "Downloads", and make sure "Automatic Prompting for File Downloads" is set to "Enable"). This will tell you a file's being downloaded BEFORE it downloads, so you can cancel the download. - Get Firefox. This only affects IE. - Get a Mac.

/dev/null Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 - Get Firefox. This only affects IE. 864919[/snapback] I'll second that. I'm running Firefox and haven't gotten any virus warnings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary M Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'll second that. I'm running Firefox and haven't gotten any virus warnings 864925[/snapback] AVG is catching it, but it is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungee Jumper Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'll second that. I'm running Firefox and haven't gotten any virus warnings 864925[/snapback] Only reason I have IE is because my client requires it. Needless to say, I'll be billing them for the time I'm spending cleaning my system right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadCap Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Holy crap! Like everyone else, I logged into the Wall, and got the virus alert. Then I saw this thread. Some dillhole has definitely hacked our site. IMO, virus writing should be an forfit your remaining life penalty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFLstyle Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Having the same problem, Norton is picking it up though, for some reason a download box keeps coming up and I have to keep cancelling it. Since the Anti-Virus is picking it up and deleting it anyways I won't worry about it and here's hoping that the problem gets fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 The code is in the footer. I have deleted it, but they did something slick that prevents me from removing it. I'm working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Alright - it's gone. I know we are overdue for an upgrade. I bought a new license a couple of months ago, but I have been waiting for 2.2 to come out. It is out, but the skin needs to be redone. I guess that needs to be done sooner than later...

nero47 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Best antivirus program is AVAST @ Avast.com Download free Home Edition. Remove other antivirus programs before installing. Voted best in world for 2005. As a computer company we have been using it for three years. Far better than anything else out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nod32 has the least overhead of any antivirus program I've found, and it has better scanning and heuristics than Avast. It isn't free, but it is $39.

jarthur31 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'll second that. I'm running Firefox and haven't gotten any virus warnings 864925[/snapback] I have been using FF only to browse this site and I'm even seeing that. I thought it was the Real Player that was doing that when I used it like 2 weeks back for the first time in ages. I'll get that notice also when I use WMP as well. That warning didn't start today for me but Norton's has been stopping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Well, I don't kow the nature of the hole that got through. I thought all patches were applied for this series. The fuggers were from Russia. Fuggin' commie bastards. I renamed the original script they came in on and changed the database password. Hopefully this will deter them until I patch the hole. I apologize for this, I'll try and lock the server down better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
