Paul Santiago Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Is anyone having browser issues with the forum website? I'm getting redirected to an adclick.net. in IE8. I've cleared cache/history, etc. still shows up. No problem in Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yes I'm having problems in both i.e. and chrome. I think the foriums have been compromised. When I first got home I had a malware infection and I want to try and go to the forms either through chrome or i.e. it warns me about Malware. The only way I can get the forums now is via my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Is there a setting in IE8 to switch off pop-ups, perhaps that might help ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I get a malware warning in Safari, but not in OmniWeb or Chrome. I have a ticket in with TSS on it. And with Safari, I get the same warning in brianenos.com (not the forums). So it's not related to the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Total Server Solutions found, and removed malware from the server that was affecting brianenos.com. At their advice I petitioned google to rescan brianenos.com... the rescan is still pending. In the meantime, the forums are working fine from the OmniWeb (my favorite) browser.

ltdmstr Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Any more details on what happened? I was getting the same warnings from Safari when I was on the forum last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 The (old software) forum was hacked. Then google detected the malware it installed, and then blocked anything on brianenos.com (inc. the forums). It takes them on average a day or so to rescan brianenos.com (inc. the forums) to confirm the malware has been removed. (I have the rescan request in with google.) If we still don't pass tomorrow, I'll have TSS rescan the site again for more malware. During all this we upgraded the forums to the latest version of the software.

Kevin Pledger Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 the Adclick Jacked my computer , when I tryed to clean it up the computer went into a loop Sometimes not worth it to clean it up. Had a similar thing happen to my laptop, kept getting malware warnings, used the tools to remove it, but still kept coming back, in the end because I was using both XP / W7, I just used the System Restore Function which solved the problem. So now I make a habit of creating a System Restore point every week. Cheers .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoShooter Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 the 'System Restore' is ware my probelms started to get worst. = everything startes ok and thin the computer went into a constant nonresponsive loop.

New Forum lay-out dang ware is the spell check ?? Jamie, I posted this elsewhere, but this is probably the better place; boot your infected computer in "safe mode with networking", then go to the link below and follow along. it worked for me... It dumped "file restore" trojan horse malware on to one of my computers, spent a couple hours recovering it. Go here if you are in the same boat, it worked for me; http://malwaretips.c...e-restore-virus "File Restore is a computer virus that will display bogus alerts, claiming that several hard drive errors and computer issues were detected on your machine.This alerts are professional looking pop-ups and when you click on them, you are advised to buy File Restore to fix the detected errors.Some of the bogus alerts you may see include:...." jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
