Yeah, I'll take your word for it, since you seem to know what you are doing!

Look, you folks who keep suggesting going around AVG (and the other anti-virus programs alerting to a problem) don't seem to understand that that is what an anti-virus program is supposed to do. You aren't getting a warning, but I am. I think I'll stay off the site just to be safe.

Most of the time I try to bring RCU up I get a virus warning and it won't let me on the site.. Am I the only one, or is there a problem? Thanks Brian
McAfee is giving me a virus warning when I try to access marketplace.

Just how hard is it to capture one of these critters and secure it if you have the technology. Does this site have that

I don't understand the problem. I'm using MS essentials. I am not having any problems getting on RCU, no malware warnings and no blocks.

Maybe it's a problem with AVG.

I think there's more than one problem, although AVG could be one of them. I haven't had problems getting on, but there have been some really slow page loading times, and I'm not using AVG. Sometimes they would not load after a full minute or more, at which point you stop waiting. Seemed like the DOS attacks that other sites have had, where it basically slows the site to a stop.

I wouldn't be too quick to blame AVG for false positives. Their avgthreatlabs website has identified: exploit invisible Iframe injection (type 1707) as the active threat on RCU. I'm not going to turn off my link scanner or switch security programs until this issue is resolved. John R.

Default RE: Virus warning

I have been useing AVG for several years W/O any issues untill about a week or so ago and only on RCU. Yesterday I couldn't even get into the forums to post or read W/O shutting AVG off for a few mins which I don't care to do. I like you have a anti virus program to protect my comp and it's contents, not to shut it off just to get into a web site. Since things work fine at any other place I go to I won't be changeing anything in or on my comp just to get in here, so I suggest that RCU get there act together and fix the problem before they wake up to find out nobodys home.
Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.

I have been in contact with AVG and they have said that it is real and not a false positive.

RCU is really acting bad today. Can't get to my club page, can't get to the events calander without going the long way, can't post to the event calander. Very frustrating.[:@]

It's not working again for me and AVG sez nothing has been done to clean up the site. I'm going to start contacting RCU's big advertisers and let them know that they may be wasting their money by advertising on RCU.

Regardless of software issues, it's still an okay site. That other place would have banned you in a second for saying that.

You are right, that might be a little severe at this point. Last week, I filed an "incorrect page rating report"with AVG. They got back to me promptly with a report stating that the RCU site was indeed infected. At the same time,I filed a "trouble ticket" with RCU,reporting the problem. I have not heard a thing from RCU. This is very discouraging because I actually pay a yearly upgrade fee to advertise on RCU. I am afraid to place ads on RCU until this issue is resolved and RCU does not seem concerned.I guess it's going to be ebay and " that other site" for a while. At this point, the only way I can get on to RCU is thru my email. John R.

Yeah that certainly makes things a bit different, since you are paying. Sounds like my situation today. I paid for membership at RCSB and they logged me out today. Worse yet, the site would not even let me view threads, without logging on, which I could not do since I lost my password. At some sites I'm BillG, where I'm Bill (space) G at others. Therefore I had to actually guess at my screen name and email them for a lost password, when they shouldn't have logged me out in the first place. Of course my email was not working properly, and it took me a full 10 minutes just to receive their message. At that point, I was not too thrilled about the whole incident.

HI guys.
This is not just an AVG thing. Been into computers since the IBM PC Junior and have built over 1500 systems in the last 25 years starting with the super fast DX33 lol.... You have a hidden thread attached to your pages right now. Its name is "Exploit Invisible IFrame Injection (type 1707) You folks have some work to do and please stop blaming peoples system software.  Your IT needs to get in this right away. I use AVG on some systems, Wouldn't use Norton or McAfee for any amount of money others with other brands all three major browser and all three of my anti virus programs says the same thing. It will not just go away it is attached to your college ads and others.
 According to AVG you guys are infiltrated on every page with some if statement malicious code. I contacted them about this because normally I have no problems getting to the site or using it but the last three days now every page says threat detected and blocked on my systems. This is what they told me ("Hi,

> Date/time: 9/7/2012 4:40:24 PM
> URL: http://www.rcuniverse.com/index.cfm
> Email: [email protected]

The detection is correct.

If you are affiliated with this site, you need to check all pages for
IFrame injections similar to the one seen at the URL above, that refers
to URLs at one or other of:

   www.collegefun4u.com

   %77%77%77%2E%63%6F%6C%6C%65%67%65%66%75%6E%34%75%2 E%63%6F%6D

Further, you should have professional computer security specialists
perform a full and thorough security audit of the site and the
server(s) hosting it to ascertain how these illicit code injections
were achieved.  Rectifying all issues that such an audit uncovers will
be necessary to prevent the site being similarly compromised again in
the future.

")
Please check this out and keep us users safe/Thanks
Dave
