SITE NEWS Virus/witch Hunt On Our Forum

[Neopimp]

I have had 2 reports of something on the fragtank being flagged as a virus. These reports are 6 months apart by different people.

Report goes that the website throws an error and then the antivirus flags an unsafe site.

I do not need reports of errors unless it was followed by the AV yelling at you. All sites have errors due to overload or maintenance sometimes being done. I find Xenforo to be pretty good in this regard.

=
So help me out here, has anyone had this happen before?
What exactly were you doing at the time?
What antivirus are you using?
Name of "virus".
Log files would be great.
=

Possibility 1 - Its not us and its their comps or another window they have open.
Possibility 2 - The fact the site has thrown an error causes the AV to flag the site as unsafe. False Positive etc
Possibility 3 - It is us and we have some digging to do.

=
I can say that the site is up to date in regards to security stuff, the webs host actively runs an AV of their own and a security scan is completed every few days if I recall. So I am hesitant to think its us and that there is another reason.

However since I can not say 100% for sure it isnt us I have to ask and at least try to track this thing down, which is where you all come in.

Personally I have no issues using the site as I always have.



Get hunting and remember the more info you give me the better.

nothing here except an error message once in a while that there are too many users at the time... but, my computer sucks lately so it could be just me, where is a good place to take it and get it fixed..

The only weird thing I've ever had is if I've clicked a link to beanbagfrags. My browser will block it all together.

He was recently the victim of internet rape. So not surprised the AV blocked it during that time.

@Big_Als_London You will need to step up your rape game to keep him down it seems.

I will say our work emails got a virus about 2 weeks ago. Not sure if it was from this site though.

 

[Neopimp]

It won't be an email based one. Find another scape goat[emoji12]

I'd say the site is clean, I haven't had any thing hit my firewall or av here or at work. I have run in to the max users a few times tonight, and have also found when you hit the "home" button at the top or bottom of the webpage it logs me out but shows my user still logged in.

Ya info make changes live. Even full updates. No one ever notices .

I had a virus warning quite awhile ago. I'm using Eset node anti virus. Reported it as a trogen. Never had it since.

 

[videosilva]

Microsoft has a VERY good and FREE virus scanner. Why are people bother with other virus scanners ????

 

[Neopimp]

habit and experience if you lived through the windows ME days etc

 

[Neopimp]

agreed though that the windows virus scanner is on par with a lot of the other AV programs. I still run AVG or Bitdefender (free versions) just cause that's what I am used to
