Virus reports

 There has been a volume of virus reports on the site.



In an attempt to isolate the source, I have shut off all ads (with the exception of inhouse and Google ads).



If anyone still gets a virus report, please post here along with any available information, most notably the thread title or url.



Several other steps are also underway, but it is critical to know if there are still virus reports with ads shut off.

 thanks and will do.. had a report early this morning but probably before you shut off the aids...






Thanks Kirik, virus is very random. Phone Post

 Would be interesting to see what browsers/plugins people are using too... things are sometimes mistaken as malware that are really just ads.

Seems to be the IE users.

I use firefox with no add ons and have never seen 1 virus detection on the UG ever. And I've actually tried to get it to come up by opening the 'infected' threads that people list.. clean as a whistle on my end.

Firefox / Norton = no can defend.

I haven't had any problems. I use chrome. Phone Post

Have been visiting the site quite often over the last week, with no virus notifications.

 Stay out of this, nerd.  You're already nerding this thread up too much.

 From what I've been reading on here, it's mainly IE users who are too stubborn to change and/or do anything on their end to protect their computers.


Ahh you mean the wonderful "JUST FIX IT!" crowd.

 Yes kirik, Dr. Diggs is back posting under the SN Always Sunny and is up to his usual tricks. 

The virus actually redirects you from mma.tv to a fake virus detection ad. You'll get the virus if you don't close the ad down and click on anything on the web page.

People are on edge about Worm.Win32.flame.



I would shut down for routine maintanance tonight and scan the system. You're going to have to do it sometime anyway.

If I use IE yes I get hit with a re-direct now and then. Seems very Random and directs me to a fake anti-virus site. The kind where it says you are infected click here to fix bull shit.

If I use FireFox with adblock I have no issues.

the site is running a lot better without all the ads.

never got a virus warning from here.
