Title: Malware Alert
Post by: Legodac on December 12, 2011, 06:30:06 pm
If this isn't news, then I don't know what is, perhaps we need an "ALERT" or "ALARM" section here to post things of this nature.  I am cruising through our pages and looking at "Scavenger Hunt For Pictures", I then decide to go back to page one and start a view order, here is what I got, may be important to the mods here

Not doing it now, when I clicked the page one, it went there for a moment, then a warning of Malware came up, just thought you should know.

I guess this was a false alarm, seems Blade and the rest of the mods aren`t too interested.

Well then, here is something that they may be even less interested in.
We all know LU will be put to a quick death in the new year, we also know that Design by Me will no longer be sending you your creations after you have designed them, that I can understand, and relate to as well.

My boggle is this though, for the last few weeks, and you would only know this if you still played MLN, The ``Electro Pellet Module Rank 2`` no longer has a place to comment on the creation you are viewing. This module was related to LU and it offered the Lego Fan a way to show not only more than one picture, but lxf. files and even the odd cool movie.

I am still active in MLN and I prove this by my Trades topic in the LMB`s. My cool friends there noticed this around the same time I did.

I have sent my concern to the highest level and now one even higher.... :o

Just checked the page. No sign of malware there.
What antivirus do you use?

Perhaps AB-Z's application had something to do with what I saw

Yup, that's what I saw, weird eh? I guess I don't have to ask if appropriate steps are being taken to ensure our safety, I know you mods always do what's right.
Thanks MsRR.  :)

That's so weird that I didn't get the warning...

Perhaps it wasn't a false alarm after all, whatever it is, it's doing a good job of hiding itself

I believe I have fixed the problem.
I went in with Firefox with spybot and removed any image that did not show.

I need someone else to verify that it's ok now.

Well MsRR, here's what happened, when I clicked the link from my original post, post 88 I think, the quote above, it went straight to the warning, then I did it several times more and it didn't happen again.


Title: Re: TOWLER Magazine
Post by: Legodac on December 14, 2011, 04:47:25 pm
However, when I logged off and then back in again, it went to the warning again, pretty strange eh?


Title: Re: TOWLER Magazine
Post by: Legodac on December 14, 2011, 04:49:02 pm
And again, yet when I click the second and third, it doesn't show

It's still being worked on.

NP buddy, I have become highly adept at restorations since I have destroyed 3 PC's in the last year alone


Title: Re: Malware Alert
Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on December 14, 2011, 07:13:45 pm
NOW SMF support says it is probably an ad. I have adblock so I do not see them.

Thank you, I was hoping you would do this, I was beginning to run out of ink

Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on December 14, 2011, 07:43:24 pm
*Raises eyebrow* That shouldn't really make sense, though...


Title: Re: Malware Alert
Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on December 14, 2011, 07:56:55 pm
Furthermore, both Legodac & I have google chrome, I believe, while The Truth has a different browser, which may account for wht he did not get the message.. the warning appears to be a chrome feature.

Interesting MsRR, that could be, me thinks we need a few more guinea pigs

*Looks around* Why are you all looking at me so suspiciously. *Someone holds up a "Guinea Pig" sign and tapes it to Blade* ... Uh-uh, I'm not testing this. ._.' Much as I want to get to the bottom of this myself; I'm not risking this laptop to do it...


Title: Re: Malware Alert

Which is why I think it might be wise to just delete the topic and move on.


Title: Re: Malware Alert
Post by: mtmerrick on December 14, 2011, 10:40:35 pm
have to agree there. chrome caught it for me too, truth's probably infected tho :/ and FYI it is atill doing it.


Title: Re: Malware Alert
Post by: The Truth on December 14, 2011, 11:29:38 pm
Don't worry, no infection for me- I have Adblock Plus, NoScript, and Microsoft Security Essentials. And I never miss a patch.


Title: Re: Malware Alert
Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on December 14, 2011, 11:54:50 pm
But you got no warning...


Title: Re: Malware Alert
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on December 15, 2011, 07:55:32 am
AdBlock and NoScript likely disabled the thing from the start. xD

If we could track down the offending image and delete it, then we could get rid of it...


Title: Re: Malware Alert
Post by: Jade on December 18, 2011, 03:49:53 pm
I'm using FF, with AdblockPlus and something AVG installed, and I'm not seeing the message.


Title: Re: Malware Alert
Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on December 18, 2011, 04:14:53 pm
It seems only Chrome users see the message...??

Well, first, thanks to the mods here and thank you for your efforts, I guess we can all relax now

Thank you again
