MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS
Mods, you seriously need to address the issue of the virus/trojan on RCU.
This has been going on for a number of days now. Your quick to moderate so try and be quick on this one.[:@] |
RE: MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS
how about all the rest of the promblems RCU has lately ...we cant log in , pages are down, we can place adds , attachments from posts been lost...
maybe we should all move to another forum? so who own RCU now? |
RE: MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS
Why so long to deal with this virus issue?
|
RE: MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS
Are we sure its a virus? In another thread it was mentioned that it only shows up in IE, not in Crome, and I don't get it in Firefox with Sophos antivirus.
Sounds like it might be an IE bug to me... Bob |
RE: MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS
Yeah, it's a virus.

RE: MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS
For me RCU is performing perfectly as normal! Although recently I had a problem as described below....
My PC picked up a virus, which was not picked up by my virus check scan and automatically deleted or quantined. It was a file dumper trojan that was uploading god knows what onto the internet. It really slowed by PC down until I got rid of it. I found it by looking at the upload and download speed when the PC is idle. It was running 400kb/s upload! Found the relevant .exe files by threat checking system files (with low risk threshold) with my Virus software (Nod32 - brilliant), and manually deleting. |

The Trogan Horse thing is now intermittant for me.....mostly today it is not showing up but two or three times it did. Go figure....computers.[&:]

RE: MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS
Why tell the Mod's to deal with it, they're quick to moderate the forums sure, but they can't do anything in regards to a virus or other RCU glitches except report it to admin which I'm sure they've probably done, then it's up to the new owners to fix it, all the mod's can do is sit and wait like everyone else.

RE: MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS
I run IE and windows 7. I haven't seen this virus on RCU you guys talk about. I am also using Windows Security Essentials for virus protection. Seems to work great.

Sure . . . until they flip the switch that turns it into a spam zombie. <div>

RE: MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS
The mods can also continually pester the admin to fix it!!!!
|
RE: MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS
Trust me when I say that we are just as frustrated as the rest of you guys are. As it was pointed out above, all we can do is report the problem and then we have to wait for the IT staff to fix it. So we are really in the same boat as you guys are. I know that sounds like a cop out when I say that, but it's the truth of the situation. This is only so much we can do here.

RE: MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS
When ever I click on anything on Rcuniverse my virus protection brings up a pop up saying a website related to spyware is trying to access your website. This website has been blocked. It's some weird website thing. So I think im protected.

RE: MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS
I'm running Firefox and Avast pro and I am getting it so its not IE.
|
RE: MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS
Symantec Corporate Edition with Firefox and Sophos with Firefox don't see it...
Interesting. Maybe Avast is much better than the others? or not? Bob |

RE: MODS FOCUS ON THE VIRUS

Downloaded from http://reallypulse.com/Flasjh_Player..._for_win.40062[1].exe Norton nails it and quarantines it in the background...... |
