FYI: Virus warning on this website
« on: November 21, 2006, 07:36:53 PM »
Everytime I connect to Philly arena I get a message saying some computer in Russia is trying to hack my machine.

bods,

Everytime I come to this site I get a TON of virus warnings.  They are Trojan viruses and a few scripts trying to execute.

What gives?

If you don't have virus protection and you're reading this message you are probably screwed.

I've accessed this site from 4 different computers in the last 24 hours.  Never got a warning in my life.

Furthermore, the only way to get a virus warning when visiting a website is if one of the files has a virus. I know for a fact that none of the images on this website has a virus.

If anyone else has gotten a similar message, let me know.  But this website isn't "infected"

I just downloaded the files and ran a virus scan on all 685 files in the forums directory, and all came up clean.

I am getting continuous virus warnings as we speak. I delete them and another one pops up, then they stop. It started yesterday.

yup, I just found it.

It actually wasn't any of the files on the server.  But one of the spammers posts included a file from an off-site server.

It only showed up in IE because it was a .wmf file, which is why I hadn't seen it.

Derek,  I too received virus warnings both at home and work.  Only once though and they were deleted/quarantined without any trouble.
