Google blocking access to TUG

No - it was when I was trying to use google!!! I have google chrome but I'm now getting the certificate is not valid message for GOOGLE!!!
 
In the past (before the TUG server replacement), I had gotten warnings that stopped my computer from operating. It seemed the danger was higher when I posted (vs just browsing), especially when I edited what I had posted.

After the server replacement, I am still getting, from Microsoft Security Essentials, warnings of the existence of a "trojan," after I have been on TUG.

I know very little about computers, so I don't know if any of the above makes any sense to experts.
 
can you forward the details of what your computer is saying to me?

Mine did what you say yours is doing (pre server change) You can have MS Security Essentials can do a 'complete (or maybe it's a 'full') scan. It takes some time- mine took about 5 hours. You can continue to use your machine while it scans. The 'quick scan' won't do it. Then it will ask you if you want the infected files it finds eliminated. Click yes and don't look back.

That took care of it on my Win7 PC.

Doesn't require great computer knowledge or expertise.

Good Luck!
 
I was blocked from access yesterday by my Webroot AV, but no problem this afternoon.
 
again can someone (anyone) please forward me the details/screenshots of what you are seeing?

sofar ive gotten no response so there isnt anything for us to go on to investigate further!
 
We ran a full scan on Security Essentials and this time got a "no threat," and so have no screen to print. We are on weekly update on Security Essentials now, so maybe that has done the job, Or the trojan last time was from the scan of transactions from before the server replacement and the server replacement has done the job?

It was something that could not be removed, but was able to be quarantined.
 
Im only referring to those who are getting antivirus warnings AFTER the server was replaced...(ie within the last week or so)

Is it still listed in your Securities Essentials quarantine area?

There are two kinds of warnings in my quarantine area, but I think they were from before TUG replacement of server, and from the first one after the replacement (thus may contain viruses from transactions before):

“Category: Trojan Monitoring Software
Description: This program is dangerous and records user activity”

“Category: Trojan
Description: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker”
********************************************************

As I said, the most recent scan (the first one of all post-replacement transactions ) said "no threat."
 
what i need is the details when the attack happens...usually if a screen pops up with a warning it will have a details section that has a time/date stamp...the exact url and file path of what it thinks is the malware etc etc.
 
anyone here use mcaffee site advisor?

do you still get any sort of warning when browsing the forums?
 
tugbbs has been removed off the webroot antivirus block list...warnings from that av software should be gone.

I still see a Red McAfee Site Advisor icon whenever I am on the TUG forums. I added TUG to my trusted sites in McAfee, so I don't get the warnings any more. But I think the red icon still means McAfee has it categorized as a problem site.

Edited to add: As soon as I click a link that takes me to the regular TUG2.net site, that red icon turns green.
 
I think that perhaps mcaffee site advisor uses the same "update" list that for whatever reason isnt updating that TUG is clean.

ill probably have to contact 8029834098230948 support people there like I did with webroot.
 
Whoa I just got this message for the first time at work:

This Web Site is Blocked
tugbbs.com
This site is being blocked due to the content of this site
McAfee Content Category: Malicious Sites
McAfee Security Rating: Green

What the.
 
yea...some "av" programs are clearly sucking in terms of updating their lists of "bad sites"

im not sure what more I can do but keep contacting them and asking them to remove it.


an even more amusing tidbit...when you go to the site advisor page and do a report on the site, it shows clean

http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/tugbbs.com
 
got a note from "siteadvisor" saying they were looking into the issue...any change on your end?
 
the individuals still being blocked by mcaffee site advisor
 
I am still being blocked on my laptop with both IE and Chrome where I am running PC Tools as my antivirus.

I can get on with my iMac though without a problem. :shrug:
 
what message do you get when browsing in chrome/ie?
 
My McAfee SiteAdvisor icon is now grey which seems to mean that they haven't scanned the site for vulnerabilities. So perhaps this is a good sign that they are resetting things?

I get a red warning page asking me if I am sure I want to visit.
I will check it out later for the exact wording.
sorry don't remember exactly the wording. :eek:
