Malware on forum o_O

[Otto]

My virus scanner keeps coming up with this every time I load up a page for the forum:

Can you do something about it? It could be a threat of some sort to all of our PC's..

 

[AlekS]

^ Avast officially sucks.
It "detects" viruses by mistake quite often.

 

[DominikS]

I am getting a similar problem with my avast

 

[AlekS]

I think it refers to .png image.

I checked all codes and it's fine
I asked Matt though, imo Avast just gives a false positive alert or maybe it's a worm indeed. We'll find out.

Have you scanned your hard drive? :?:

I haven't had such a problem EVER or at least fot a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time, so I've no idea what that could be. :roll:

My Nod32 didn't show any Malware ...

EDIT: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diag ... yforum.com
+ I tried with http://onlinelinkscan.com/ too, it said for me that it's safe

 

[AlekS]

+ I tried 2 best Russian on-line checkers all of them said that we are clear

++ http://www.avg.com.au/resources/web-page-scanner/
also clear.

Ah, then we don't have to worry for malwares/viruses btw, why did then Avast show for some people that there's some malware?

 

[AlekS]

^ I dunno but it's a common problem. I was just checking different forums what people say about anti-viruses, 1 week ago, and there were a lot of false signals.
usually Avast solves it in the next versions of their software.

I used to face such things myself btw.

In any case, Matt can change the code, just in case.

 

[94ayd]

Mine's NOD32, too!

 

[AlekS]

as I've said I checked the code and this "suspicious" file is our own file. It doesn't re-direct to other links. And it's not downloaded by your PC into your cash so you can sleep well )))

 

[spiluke]

AVG and Avira don't detect anything bad

 

[AlekS]

^ it wasn't checked just on AVG

 

[Otto]

Well AlekS at least if there is a problem, I'd sort it out before matters get worse..

 

[AlekS]

^ or anyone with Avast will sort an unexisting problem out.
Thanks for letting us know, anyway. Still it's better to check everything just in case

 

[Otto]

There are more problems now, by the way..

 

[Jukica]

For 1st one, I tried to enter it:
404 Not Found
The requested URL /styles/X-static/theme/categories.css does not exist.

And it asks me to install sth. :?

404 Not Found
The requested URL /styles/X-static/theme/images/cp_left.png does not exist.

Asks to install sth. too

 

[AlekS]

more? there have already been 3 before.



In any case all of them are connected so not a big deal. Avast doesn't recognize our code



@Jukica - the same is for me.

 

[Jukica]

Well, I didn't notice any problems with the forum (and Nod32 didn't show any warnings for me ...)

 

[AlekS]

you know what. I remember Matt deleted these styles (and there was a bug so he had to re-delete it).
Maybe the code was left (but these images were deleted) so antivirus thinks that it's someone else's code.

Imo, these files (or the code) can be changed using the backup. Nothing serious.
