Virus

[Killy]

One of your ads leaves behind a virus, I got an Alert From McAfee, and it happened a few times, only while I was at eoff. And the file was in my temp folder, I dont know wich ad does it but it might be a good idea to do something about it.

[crono_logical]

Which ad specifically does this, or what "error" or deny message do you get exactly? <S>I don't get anything of the sort whilst browsing this site.</S>

EDIT: pfft, that's coz I blocked eoff's adservers from my PC xD

[Killy]

Well, basically it says:

This files (insert location of temp folder here) Contains a virus, What do you want to do

[Loony BoB]

Which page is this on, if you know?

[crono_logical]

I'll reenable ads on my PC for the mean while and see if the same happens to me, since I also use McAfee .:)

[Killy]

IVe seen it while browsing around the main oage an in the forums...

[Loony BoB]

Not to be picky... but isn't it McAfree, not McAfee? Maybe I'm wrong.

[Killy]

You are wrong, its not free

[Citizen Bleys]

O_o

This is something GSN will have to deal with. We don't put up any ads.

[Killy]

Update, It happened again:
File infected is: C:\WINDOWS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\CONTENT.IE5\3HPN5R3S\KZPOP[1].HTM
The was one Kazino on the net Ad and on from Gorilla Nation

[Zypher]

This is probably not right...but can't you just delete all the files in that temp folder? All it contains is cookies for the pages you've visited, correct?

[Killy]

I can, but the files gets re-created and deleted again...

<font color=22E477>This may have happened to me before, though I have no proof what so ever of it happening.

I've never had this experience. Could it be that you have another virus that's infecting .htm files on your computer, or something? I know nothing of viruses. I do know that sometimes virus scanners give false alarms though. But I've never had a virus report from anything from EoFF myself. I have Norton 2002 Professional.

[Citizen Bleys]

It's possible that this virus is something on BN's computer that's infecting files in the cache, however, I'm still notifying GameSquad. Better safe than sorry. We have a *lot* of people who come to our community, and I'd really not want to see us attacked by a virus.

[Killy]

I tought about that too but, it only happens when im here. and I made a virus scan and got nothing else

[Loony BoB]

...maybe this should be in the Help Forum? *dunno*

[crono_logical]

Wait and see the results of Bley's notification thingy, I think, since we still don't know the cause for sure. :p

[Citizen Bleys]

Still waiting on a reply from GSN. Patience, my friends, patience.

EDIT: Mind you, I haven't checked my email since I sent the complaint, so they might have taken care of it in the first 30 seconds. Just have to be fair, 'cause I gave them the URL to this message and they might read it and make me look bad :D

[Killy]

system scan once again, but it might be only a cookie you know, somecookis are considered as viruses

Edit, I think I got it, got the virus alarm, then a porn page, coincidence? NO.

Ill run ad-aware and clean myself from teh evil spywares

[Citizen Bleys]

GSN support says they've been running the same ads for the past year. If it was the server, we'd have been hit before now.

[Loony BoB]

...do we go to the Help Forum nooooooooooooow?

[Killy]

Its solved now, it was only a spyware, it stopped happening after I runned Ad-Aware...

[crono_logical]

*wonders why LB is so eager to move the thread* :p

[Spatvark]

I'd have to agree with Munty here... why move this to the Help Forum? BN didn't want help, he was giving us feedback on a suspected virus on the forums...

[Killy]

I was wrong, I found the problem, close this...

[crono_logical]

Yes, this thread has turned into a mess lately :p
