Bad site?

[DRG]

I was referring to "Warhero"s comment not yours

One time I got the virus from hell. I'd have loved to shake the hand of whoever created it before I punched their lights out.

What it did was make EVERY file on my computer "read only" and "invisible".

I was able to log onto my PC using a bootable CD I'd made long before (yeah I'm paranoid, I also changed the boot order in to BIOS to check for a CD first then the "C" drive) but couldn't see ANY files on the computer. But I knew there was no way they'd all been deleted that fast so I used some DOS commands to find out what the hell was going on. Problem is apparently the virus was activated during the "shut down" sequence and any attempts I'd made to recover my hard drive were nullified.
The only option was reformat the drive and reload Windows from scratch.

I got this message this morning.

cbreedon:

We have scanned the site. We have found no troubles. Even Google says we are clean. Are you still getting this?

[cbreedon]

I hadn't been bad since I posted that, but I am no loner getting the message. It was every time I clicked on anything. Looks like what ever you did worked.

Thanks

[Nitram Draw]

I am not getting any messages about a bad site anymore either.

[RecruitMonty]

I'm still getting it from time to time. These last few days in fact. Says there is a Trojan on the site somewhere.

This is what I get in my anti-virus:

Anyone have any idea? I can't come back on the forum, really and truly, until this is fixed.

[Mobhack]

All of that is complaining about JavaScript (the .js extension). Most of the complaints seem to be Heuristics results since HEUR is in the result string - i.e. the anti-virus software is making a guess.

I use the Firefox browser, and have the Ghostery script blocker add-on installed to deal with dodgy JavaScript. There is also another add-on called NoScript to deal with it. Not sure if you can run both together.

Some of the JavaScript may also come from banner ads - Again for FireFox, there is an add-on called AdBlock Plus. That one really makes visiting some news sites tolerable - no more waiting 30-40 seconds while multi-media carp loads and flashes away at you before the article loads!.

[Suhiir]

Seems the forums have been flagged again by Firefox.

And I strongly second Mobhack about Adblock Plus! Great product.
