Tatoo Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Every freakn time I visit this forum I get a Virus warning by Norton Antivirus from a bloodhaund Virus or however you spell it. WHY?!?! Pls look this up
Darth MarcII Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Norton being temperamental again. Probably the popup ads. You just need to adjust the settings.
Eipaob Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 ya ive got norton but it says nothin about this website.
Tatoo Posted September 2, 2004 Author Posted September 2, 2004 Originally posted by Darth MarcII Norton being temperamental again. Probably the popup ads. You just need to adjust the settings. It is not pop up ads... It says what virus it is and what file is infected. But then it says it can't reach the file. When I entered this time to get to this thread it came back again.
Eipaob Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 i think it deals with somethin about cookies but thats just a guess, and if it is you just need to put your protection thing down in your internet options i think.

But then it says it can't reach the file. When I entered this time to get to this thread it came back again. It can be pop up ads because of the javascript strings pop up ads use to generate. Anti-virus sometimes sees them as malicious scripts or spyware. I use Norton and I don't get virus warnings here at all.
Jan Gaarni Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Well, I don't know what it is for sure, but I do suggest using Mozilla Firefox browser. Maximum security there, I use it myself. No popups, no hazzle, all fun.
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Depending on where you are in the world, the adverts that pop up are different. I will pass on this information because this has happened before and is becoming a pain in the rear. DMUK
SSO_DarthVader_ Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 I just got 3 Trojans while visiting the specific section of the forums. Norton Anti-virus detected them and deleted them thankfully (it was a cookie file of some type). I should've written down the name.
Lancelot Kane Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Hmm. . .interesting. My Trend Micro picked up the same thing. someone could be using a back door. The administrators may want to check their servers.
swphreak Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Go here and complain til an admin does something about it. Whenever I visit certain forums, my VirusScan tells me it cleaned a trojan. That might be what you're getting.
