Forum Viruses? Options

[Jumpey]

In FireFox I have no issues when looking around. On IE McCaffee alerts me and says "Trojan removed" and IE blocks some addon "Remote Service Control". (Oh and IE crashed lol)

Chrome has crashed for me twice because of this. I'm using Chrome because it is the only browser I have except IE on this computer and just encase$, since this is an ActiveX virus. Of course Chrome is still in beta, which is most likely why it kept crashing.

Anyway, didn't uuf6429 reckon that the admin were fixing it now, or did he just make that up...

Edit:

Why the hell did you say that Firefox doesn't natively support ActiveX?

Because it doesn't, do you even know about native means, it means without an add-on/mod/hack.

WTF uuf6429 and Jumpey stop fighting this is not a bloody browser problem its a website problem.

And it defiantly doesn't have anything to do with Active X.
Add also Firefox does not support Active X for their want of it being cross platform.

And also Jumpey native does not mean that at all.

Jumpey - That is not the point.

A virus maker won't go on like "Too bad can't use natively activex in firefox" but rather "Oh cool, this makes activex work in firefox".

My point is, it is a matter of security.

Yes that is true, and that is what I tried talking about here, but someone keeps adding comments about how insecure IE is...

That is my point.
They never planned compliance with ActiveX, but a virus writer DOES not write compliant code!!
Hell! S/he just writes malicious code and that's just about it!
And as I said, Firefox can STILL access ActiveX through quirks.

I wasn’t on mail over the weekend, but I know the guys are aware of this and are trying to fix it.

Thx for letting me know.

Are you happy now?

I'm not going to discuss this any more. You don't even understand what I'm saying and you're going to get the topic locked. And for reference, I don't think IE is insecure, I love it and think it is the most secure...

[uuf6429]

Look, the security hole is there. During this whole time I saw it changing.
They can put any hack they want in it. The browser doesn't matter.

Now that we clarified that. What's next?

Hey i only just noticed this thread and firefox keeps coming up with "site attack".
Sorry to be a nuisance this thread is filled with people arguing about broswers.
Should i not go on the gmc for a while and come back later or is everything ok.

We are safe.

I definitely won't be approving your, or anyone else's posts either. I don't care how much you and the others apologise. Not one post will be approved by me.

Lol.

You guys should all stop flaming each other. Hit CTRL+F, type "idiot" and see how many matches you get. Can't we all just get along?

Please don't turn off/reduce your security settings. You're opening yourself up for attack that way. And people should stop recommending it as a method of getting around the warnings.

[Twitchgames]

It wasnt a virus, someone hacked the system.

Your post is the only match I get. Idiot.

By the way the virus turned off my system restore. (and I can't open it up). This happen to anyone else?

Do not be fooled about being safe surfing with IE. It has suffered in its security checks. That page popped up on firefox cause it was reported as being malicious and the forefox browser was telling us so.

So that should tell you that firefox stays on top of the reports of sites and alerts you if you happen to come to a site that has been reported and malicious

[Tuntis]

Is it just me or was the IPB default skin on just now?

[celebraces]

There is a virus, someone has injected an iFrame into the GMC that points to a virus. The GMC isn't hosting it, but it is causing your browser to point to the site delivering the virus.

Okay, so search the whole topic...

[uuf6429]

Tuntis - It's fine here.
But as I said before, they are trying to fix it. They could have changed to an older version temporally. Please, do stay calm and patient .

[Chronic]

The iframe is removed.

[uuf6429]

Did you also patch it?
Good work

[edmunn]

I still can't properly browse the website, kinda annoying. =[

[uuf6429]

Until Google scans the site again, or YYG send in a rescan application you'll continue to get the warning. For now you are able to disable it in Firefox by going to

Tools > Security [Tab] > [Uncheck] Tell me if ... attack site.

Warning: This will disable the alert for every site you visit, so you may want to re-enable it once you've done viewing the GMC. Or leave it enabled until the attack site is cleared for this domain.
