AVG Anti-Virus 2012 Starting to Block TUGBBS webpages!

That might help- just being able to identify the server that's bugged.
 
Still here for me too. But I do appreciate your efforts. BTW, the 'smilies' no longer work for me since this started. Also, I downloaded the latest version of Firefox yesterday but I get it in IE as well.

The multi-quote option for posting replies also does not work. I suspect there are a lot of similar functionalities that are being affected.
 
Still no issues on Chrome. Smilies work fine though I have never had a quicklink button. Chrome doesn't work the same, I guess it doesn't support Java Script the same way other browsers do?
 
ill admit im completely baffled as to why it seems to:

1. only impact some of you (despite same browsers)
2. doesnt show up on my computer at all despite me running all 3 browsers, and avg
3. the quick links/smiles/yadda arent broken for everyone.

none of this makes sense at all.
 
Probably no help but today AVG has a show details function which is now working. It states: Process name: C:\Program Files\MozillaFireFox\firefox.exe and Process ID: 152 while in firefox. For IE it states Process name: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe and Process ID: 2880 although I just hit details again and it changed the process ID to 2252 now that I'm back in FF.
 
thats ok...thats something local to your computer.

Did you even open and READ any of the attached files? You disagree with "Java", the company, that admits they have buggy code? Java themselves stated "TROJAN" virus. Also, there is no "Upgrade", since the latest versions are buggy, again read my whole posting and the attached links. Do a Google search. I'm not making this stuff up, talk to Java and see what they say.

I believe your the first to mention "JAVASCRIPT" warnings. Others have stated "Trojan", which again relates back to Java, an Oracle company.

Sir, I am not trying to pick a fight with you, but the issues you found were with trojan APPLETs that are downloaded into the java cache and executed without the users knowledge.

A "Trojan" is a program in ~any~ language that pretends to do one thing, but does another. There can be (as you found) trojans in java, trojans in javascript (which is the case here), and trojans in many many forms. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse_(computing))

The issue here, while similar in that its a trojan, is not java based. The cases you found are indeed an issue, if you were downloading an applet that was written by an miscreant 12 year old. In this case, the issue is a javascript file, probably written by a miscreant 10 year old :).

Since we are keeping track, today AVAST blocked something different.

avast! blocked the virus:

Thats all I got. I would check any 3rd party advertising that may appear. Sometimes these can be injected with crap.

I don't think it is advertising. Something I have noticed about the TUG forums is that they have no advertising. FlyerTalk a few weeks ago was having a problem with some ads prompting a popup box about viruses and to run a scan. All that was available was an okay button. I am sure that clicking the okay button would have installed or run some nasty stuff. Clicking the red X didn't help, the only way out was to kill IE through Task Manager. That issue on FlyerTalk is why I switched to Chrome.

I don't know why the TUG forums don't have ads, I have only seen the ads in the TUG2.net site.
 
is anyone having the virus warning after 11:30pm eastern?

I'm still getting it and I think it's 11:54 eastern. (10:54 Central) I've updated and ran MalwareBytes, Spybot S&D, AVG, and Firefox. No problems found. Cleared cache and ran a registry cleaner as well. Not sure what else I can do at this point. This is my laptop and I get the message both at work and home so I'm guessing different IP's etc. Ah well, maybe I'll fire up the old desktop and see what happens. Thanks again for all the time being dedicated to solving a problem for just a few of us.
 
I'm still getting the warning as well. I cleared my Temporary Internet Files, to no avail.
 
yes I am getting it as well....using Firefox...and appears with everything you do,go from on thread to another etc...no smileys...working...
 
Well, it's not on my desktop. Vista Ultimate, AVG, Firefox, and it updated AVG, Adobe and Java. But still no problem.:whoopie:
 
Still getting it here. Tried clearing Firefox cache, deleted all cookies containing tugbbs and restarted Firefox. Still getting. Installed Malwarebytes, nothing found. Opened an IE window, typed tugbbs.com and got the warning.
 
Found a way to make the warnings go away in Firefox and IE.

For Firefox go to Tools->Options. Click on the Content tab and uncheck the Enable JavaScript box.

For IE follow the directions listed here: http://browsers.about.com/od/internetexplorertutorials/ss/disable-javascript-ie9_6.htm

I do not want to run this way long term, but it does provide relief for people until the source of the problem is identified and corrected.

Edit: Discovered yahoo mail needs javascript to work correctly. Probably lots of other sites too.

Most sites these days are so heavily dependent on javascript, your online experience would be horrible. This is kinda like going hunting with an empty gun...you can see the animals, point the gun, buuuuuuuuuut...
 
Its back again on my laptop that uses Vista.

Has never been a problem on my Regular computer that uses Windows 7
 
can anyone else whos getting it regularly confirm that disabling javascript (per the instrctions above) makes it go away on your local computer?

(note you can turn it back on, im just fishing for a common theme here)
