Careful Of That Big Virus On This Site...

[catzmeow]

Still no Screenshots? USMB drama at its finest.

I haven't had any problems since installing malwarebytes.

I cought the same virus 2 weeks ago but it was not from this site.

I just got a warning from my Avast antivirus that I was opening an application which might be potentially unsafe. All I had open were three USMB windows. I was starting to post a thread in one. So I don't know where the app could have come from other than this site ... perhaps one of the ad links?

Avast suggested that I open it in the "sandbox" until I was sure it was safe. I opted to shut off the computer.

In lieu of attempting a screenshot I jotted down the origin Avast gave for the file:

www.vermarts.com/neoncountry/673846582892

About 30 minutes ago with only the USMB homepage open I got this message about exploit.drop.7 trying to execute on my computer. This is the first time I've seen this message. I turned off my computer, restarted, deleted the .exe file, and am now going to try to figure out how to tell if I have the infection or if I stopped it in time.

I got hit with something that attempted to install Vista Anti-Virus on my computer. there was also something else.

Let me know when you get it fixed, USMB.

I haven't detected it in awhile. So i think they nailed it. Thank you USMB Wizards.

Yeah I think the "general" site had it last week. I think it was in a link to a post. By the time my firewall identified it it was in my computer. It took me the better part of a day to get rid of it. It pretended to be a security program and was infested with pop-ups that would not go away.

That's a pretty common way of infiltration. BLOCK all pop-ups

My Norton Anti-Virus just fended off no less than five attempts to break into my system. You guys really, really need to get this fixed.

Norton?

TREND is far better.

 

[paulitician]

Yeah,i thought it was gone. But it's still lurking here somewhere. Hope they can get on this.

My Norton just blocked an attempt a few minutes ago.

It seems to only attack when you write a reply.

 

[paulitician]

It could be from some posters here who don't like your posts. Could be attacking individual posters. Who knows? I just hope they can solve this problem soon. I really do like this site.

I haven't had any problems with this site, are you sure you guys didn't get a virus from looking at porn sites or something?

Didn't get a virus, had one blocked. I was on the site and it was the only tab I had open.

Hmm thats wierd, haven't had any problems here so far.

I don't see how that' technically possible...

But to the point, the problem seems to have cleared up as of today. So good work, USMB team.

I haven't been hit in a couple of days, but I haven't been on much in the last couple of days either. I got hit on Monday with it, though.

Today's version:

When that popped up what did you do? Would it let you x out of it? Ctrl/alt/del?
