Malware virus warning!

[callisto9]

My computer got all weird after trying to visit here the other day. Google/Firefox warned me, but I didn't click through. However, my computer was kinda weird until I did a restore.

Who is the new owner? What happened to Saad?

Both FireFox and IE are blocking the site. I'll stay away until its' been fixed. Later.

No problems for me using Windows on my PC or my Droid phone.

If you're not getting a warning, you don't have IE or FF set to check sites first. It's a settings thing. Trust me, you want to check that box! Been there before.

Let me in with no warnings. Fixed?

I ran several safety checks/antivirus programs and it came up with nothing.

I had the warning and FF wouldn't let me on. Working now. I would like to get confirmation that the admin has seen this and if the problem is fixed...

I'm trying to get a hold of our site owners to explain.

Most likely they added some advertiser that was worse than shady.
It seems to have been resolved, but I still have no feedback from owners.

Hi everyone,

Very sorry for the trouble. Our team is investigating. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

It won't find anything because it's not this site itself, but apparently ads and other pages the site directs you to. For what it's worth though, I haven't had any trouble..other than trying to get on the site..lol.

Firefox + AdBlock. I iz safe!

[Smileybug]

FF+Adblock doesn't matter. I run adblock at home and it was still blocking me from the site over the weekend. Might keep from getting whatever might be lurking, but it still detected it.

Yeah I hoped it would help. It was working fine from home for a bit, but then it randomly decided to block the site Saturday. Let me back on yesterday though. Haven't had issues at work yet though. This seems to be a random occurrance. Maybe relating to whatever the infected ad is and when it is popping up on the page?

Most likely. I've been surfing the site all day tho with AdBlocker on and have yet to recieve a warning. (Yes, the "Block Reported Attack Sites" box is checked.)

I havent had any problems with being blocked nor have I found any spyware,malware or viruses on my PC must be one of the lucky ones.

[marvins_dad]

I'm running fine as of last night.

[admin]

Hi everyone, thanks again for hanging in there. I spoke with our tech team and the issue that caused some of you to detect a malware was caused as a result of one of the admin accounts being hacked. Once they hacked in, they were able to introduce a piece of code for their malware and erase all the logs of their activities. We have removed the malware and stepped up the security on the admin accounts (as some of the admins can attest to).

Glad to hear we found the problem and the solution! I was lost without my .org for just a few days!!!

[HudsonValleyVDub]

Good to hear. FireFox is no longer flagging the site.
