Raptor Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Or did it ever go away? I never received any alerts during the previous attacks, but it is possible that I was coming here in between, or I was being skipped for some reason. However today I got notice of the JS/Downloader trying to go into my temp files. The infected file was called Ads[2].js and was headed to my temp files in case you all want to have a look for it. I am really getting to the point were I want to avoid these forums until this gets fixed. As I ask at the start, is this a new attack, or still the same one? Either way, it shows a problem with their ability to secure the forums for safe use. As someone who has lost a lot of data in the past to viruses and has seen others wiped out by them, I find it difficult to say that coming here is worth the risk. Personally I would send all the members an e-mail explaining what is going on, shut the forums until it is corrected and they have bullet proof security in place, then re-open and e-mail us all when it is back up and running. But we will see what they decide to do. I think they should at least be sending out an e-mail to their members alerting them of the virus just in case some members do not have protection.

Gibson CS Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Raptor... I agree. I even received a virus notice today when I logged into the forum. Gibson should get letters from all of us here. We want out forum back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 When I first opened the page I got a warning, then when I posted this I got a second warning, and then there were no more. But when I opened the posts by Stangone and 5150{rhoads}(I think that was the nick) I got a warning when I opened the thread, posted to it and tried to close it. Is anyone else finding that certain threads are giving more problems than others? I have found two trojans ads[1].js and ads[2].js today. Both are trying to go into the Temporary Internet File folder. One as T0T0PPZXads[2].js the other as 28WNZ6U3ads[1].js Edit: I am also now getting it with every action I do to this thread. :( Gibson, get on the ball.

Aaresz Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I too received error messages earlier, and then couldn't log on. Though I am a "new" member, I find that I am totally hooked on carousing the various posts. I could feel the withdraws setting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
