Anti-Virus software has detected Trojans on this site 2 times in last week BEWARE!

My ant-virus software has detected Trojons when I come here to read forums anyone else having this issue and how do you let the moderators know about such problems ? I have concerns about ever coming back to this particular website if it continues.

    Can someone just report me and ban me from this site. So I don't have to waste time on people like this...

    I'm so broke. I can't even pay attention.

    Normally I would ignore this too, but my antivirus keeps reporting the same thing everytime I update  a page here, only in the lst few hours though as it was fine this morning.

     

    It says it's Downloader.Small.58.AW

    Perhaps something is being misreported by the antivirus, as opposed to the site ectually being infected in some way ?

    I'm getting the same thing, and thanks for the heads up.  Sorry about the rude responses that you got from some of the others.  There is portion of the users here that like to argue about anything and everything.  Ignore them.  You'll be much happier if you hang around here very long.

    Yes the hackers found another way into our network.  I've fixed up the issue on the site and am working on securing the hole in the network.  If you all see this again please send me an email directly to ben@mmorpg.com

    Out of curiosity what Anti-Virus software are you using, Iv tested this with 3 different ones, Avast, F-Prot and some other free one with no issue, Im using the latest Internet Explorer
  • gamerman98gamerman98 Member UncommonPosts: 809
    Well my Avast scans every page that i go to and has found nothing, but im sure that the MMORPG.com Staff has fixed the exploit by now. Which is funny because last time this happened i didnt get a trojan then either....hmmmm...i must be coming to the site at the wrong times lol.

    My anti-vius detected a trojan while I was on this site some 4hrs ago, watch out.
  • Druid_UKDruid_UK Member Posts: 58
    It has been removed now, but I caught and stopped it with AVG free 7.5

    FYI, just because its shown to be coming from this site, it could be that your browser is infected. Possibly a cookie.  Consider re-installing, using a new browser. and/or clearing cache and temp internet files with cookies

    QFT. Firefox wins at life. If any of you are willingly using Internet Explorer, you need to get your heads checked.

    that person that you thought was a waste of time reported a valid trojan that was installed onto this site by hackers so at least show him some respect.

    People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

    I am using Defender Pro 19.99 Internet secirity that beats the pants of Norton in my opinion. They update every 3 hours and I think they have increased the update time if im not mistaken. I used to use Norton Internet Security but they got way too expensive and a little too invasive for me. The softwrare has worked well no bugs that I can tell and to my knowledge have not been infected with anything yet. Cant beat it for the price. I am glad you guys got this fixed promptly Admins  . If only Warhammer would release soon maybe the hackers would have something better to do LOL

    Also the report was made in Vangaurd Forum because I was here reading up on the game and forgot to start it elsewhere my bad Vangaurd players :P
