I got a virus last week.our contracted it company traced it back to either the timesunion paper or tug, he couldn't figure which

Is the page that has my warning/explanation on it.

I have Tug bookmarked in Safari and gained access with no warning. If I google Tug it lists the warning for this site.

The other strange thing is that I first saw this issue in the Tug Lounge thread which is closed now...however the last post has a link back to this thread. When I clicked on it and attempted to post as I am now it asked for my user ID and password which I thought was strange since I was already logged in. I backed out of the thread that was linked and re-entered this thread by returning to home page and opening this thread......sure enough .......I was logged in as I should have been.

Strange message from tug

I come on tug everyday and for the first time I got this message, anybody else get it ? Should I be concerned ? I have never seen this on any other website before. I went and deleted all my cookies and even did a system restore but it still pops up when i visit this site. Here it is :

I get the warning messages using safari on a MacBook pro. I do not use chrome and am not logged on to google. I couldn't even post this message on the MacBook with safari; I'm on an iPad with Safari now.

I also got the warnings. I use Firefox, Windows 7.

our host finally found a malicious string in the vbulletin code and removed it...so hopefully this ends the actual risk to any visitors to the site.

now for removing the google block.

"Malicious software is hosted on 1 domain(s), including hivanopi.longmusic.com/."

This by any chance

I get a "reported attack site" warning with Firefox but not with IE. I don't get even a peep from my up to date Norton AV.

 

[TUGBrian]

well at this point the malicious stuff has been removed/disabled (if it was even causing that trigger in the first place)....sadly all the file names and modified dates remain unchanged even on the suspect files...preventing us from determining when this may have even started.

however, im guessing it will take some time for google to review my "petition" for them to remove the malicious site tag off the TUGBBS.com forums.

There should however be no damage or risk in browsing the site (bypassing the error). I would NOT however suggest disabling the feature...just in case it actually works for a malicious site in the future.

I'm coming in through msn and have never had problems, nor did I when this happened a few months ago.

so how did it get in there?

Got the browser message this morning using Firefox. Kaspersky did not react at all.

got the same warning last night using SAFARI. i emailed the admin. and this morning DEC 24, NO PROBLEM getting on the site.

I re-enabled the "Enable phishing and malware protection" setting and am not getting the warning in Chrome this morning.

However, McAfee SiteAdvisor is still warning about TUG as was reported in this thread a while back. I just added TUG to the trusted sites list, but SiteAdvisor still shows a red SiteAdvisor icon instead of a green one.

 

[krmlaw]

google chrome let me on this morning with no warning so must be ok!

 

[Tia]

I originally got on here this am and no warning, read the updates here, then pressed the back button and up it came with the warning page again!

 

[csxjohn]

I'm using Google chrome just to see what happens. I typed www.tugbbs.com/forums at the top and I'm now on the site with no warnings from my avast anti virus protection.

No malware warning today on a Macbook Pro (unlike yesterday).

I never received any warnings when using an I-Pad or Kindle Fire device to access the boards yesterday.

No malware warning today on a Macbook Pro (unlike yesterday). ...

Same as these two for me, yesterday I had to bypass the warnings in order to read and couldn't post or send PM's. This is my first TUG stop this morning but so far so good, no warnings. I feel like Santa's IT guys left a present. :rofl:

Just got in using Firefox, without last nites Google warning, surprisingly. Security settings may be set-up differently on this computer though.

Happy Christmas Eve

 

[Makai Guy]

so how did it get in there?

That, my friend, is the $64,000 question. We cannot find anything in the server logs that indicates how this stuff gets inserted.

I had problems yesterday with chrome. Now I am in!!
