View Full Version : Possible Virus on Board?

About two weeks ago when I opened the message board I would get the standard file download message box. The run or save file box that you get when you are attempting to download a file. All I was doing was opening gsufans.com. The only way I got it to go away was to reboot the computer.

Today, AVG gave me a threat warning when I opened gsufans.com. I let AVG handle the threat but was required to reboot after AVG quarantined the threat. When I rebooted, everything was OK until I tried to open gsufans.com. I got the threat warning again and I let AVG quarantine the file. This time I did not have to reboot and everything is (I think) running OK and have been able to open gsufans.com with no problem.

Is anyone else having similar problems?

I have been having problems trying to access the forum from my tablet. When I click on the forum it downloads some file that I can never open. I used to be able to access the forum from my tablet before, but not anymore.

Hopefully the upgrades to the code we're doing this weekend will resolve some of these issues.

If you get specific error messages or warning from firewalls or software meant to block such critters, please be sure to forward me that information via email.

Thanks !

I just emailed you a screenshot of the warnings I've been getting this afternoon. I'm not smart like y'all to figure out what's going on.

I get a similar warning, but it's worded a little differently.

My computer at work showed a virus alert, but only when I got on GSUfans.

Yeah, I'm getting it now. Got calls into my host and Google. Not sure yet what the issue is.

Working on providing my host screenshots of the source code. Not exactly sure what happened here ... but I'm not real pleased.

Someone else mentioned on the thread in the open forum that it might be from an ad. Could that be why the warnings seem to come and go?

I've been experiencing unexpected results for about two weeks now when I attempt to open gsufans.com. Not always but sometimes. I am now going to run Malwarebytes to see if I get any hits. I think AVG removed whatever it was from my computer today, but I worry it may be lurking on gsufans.com.

I think it's the APP OR Furman people!

There are about 25 threads that have a specific advertisement on them, that has inserted malicious code. I'm about to disable the forum while I resolve it with my host.

Saw another malware warning when I went to Talon Talk

Edit: More specifically, it's pike's stepping down thread. Even more specifically, it's the picture of Kate Upton that oldfart posted.

Should that qualify as an automatic DQ for bringing malware to the board? ;)

I deleted the thread as a precaution, and ran the Google web malware tool, and it is showing nothing at this time.

Keep me posted if you see anything else.

Sorry we infected the board with malware. It wasn't on purpose. Thankfully, it wasn't my picture but sorry anyways. I'm going back to my room and finishing out my punishment now.
