Marc Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi All, Is anyone else recieving any false positive messages saying they have a trojan virus when visiting the site? Just asking as someone has reported something which sounds like this could be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 No, nothing reported here. Mine usually shouts very quickly if anything tries to start without authorisation or is downloaded with nasties included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 must be just you Marc But i have had that before (not from this site) What AV did you scan with?? Its not mine m8. Was reported by a member just wanted to ensure it wasnt a widespread issue, which I thought it wouldnt be anyways or people would have been shouting up. Cheers for the replies guys.

Austinville Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Had never happened to me until just now...........but it won't let me copy and paste what the msg reads so I can let you know. Appears to be different 'programs' attempting to change 'services' but I'm not quick enough to tell you more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aronoiiel Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Marc I just got an alert. Something popped up said it wanted to open a file I said no and then my Avast popped up saying something about a win32 driver I'm sorry I couldn't get all the details.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using Tapatalk It cant be one but can contain one. A website can contain Javascript code which can indeed contain a virus including the contents of a Trojan virus. well something happened because my scanner picked up two trojans and now my comp is messed up guess I'll be off here for a while until I get if fixed I'm just saying it popped up when I was on the forum I wasn't saying the website was the cause or whatever. . .it's happened before a few months ago on another site I use. . . and now it's making stuff pop up on my roomies comp I'm using now is it just me or is this stupid thing stalking me >_< This is now resolved. Was a false positive coming from one of the google adverts so I have now disallowed that site from advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
