RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

Guys n' gals,

I have received a virus through RCU. Someone hacked into my account and subscribed me to every single forum so that my email fills to capacity within minutes. Managing my account has had no effect on the worm. Marc is going to try to assist me. Everything fails it seems, from oversized B-52's to computers :D.

I have the same problem.

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

Calm please. this is not a virus. you just need to unsubscribe to forums you subscribed to way back when. we enabled email notifies for forums so go to www.rcuniverse.com/subscribe.asp and unsubscribe. I'll try to do it for you in the meantime

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

I could be wrong on this, but it also looks to me as if the "subscribe" link is now in the exact same place that "Mark this forum read" used to be ... in which case a bunch of people may be inadvertantly subscribing because they don't see that the "Mark this forum thread" link has moved to the right.

You were subscribed to 3 or 4 forums to get email. These were legacy subscriptions you had. I removed them. go to settings page and then click subscriptions to subscribe to Myforums and modify email anytime.

Wow!

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

Mark the forum emails are not forums I have EVER subscribed too, so I don't think you have it right and also I have a Mac with norton's blocker, so it seems this is on your end.

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

GO TO THIS PAGE AND UNCHECK "GET MAIL" CHECKBOX AND SUBMIT

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

jetmax - PM me with a copy of that exact email so I can see why you got page not found

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

Please tell me how to stop this e-mail stuff. Your link doesn't work.

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

jetmax,

I did it for you. what link does not work?

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

Things are really fouled up. It looks like I am subscribed to all of the threads in about 4 forums that I view. I am also getting e-mails from RC car forums that I've never visited.

You did it for me? What did you do for me? Now the link that didn't work earlier works now but I never checked any boxes in the first place. At least the massive emails seem to have subsided, so that's a relief.

Kim

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

kim - what did I do? I stopped the emails. they were checked so I removed them. you subscribed many months ago to some forums.

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

read this thread. it explains how to remove the forum subscriptions.

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

ken,

fixed for you. you were subscribed to lots of forums. read this thread how to select forums and how to set email notifies.

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

now I'm getting emails from forums I've never looked at and I've deleted all my subscribtions hours ago!

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

Well, I don't remember subscribing to several forums "months ago" and if I am brain dead and really did, then why haven't I received a single email until today? ( like 54 of them today in a few hours)

hope you find out what's going on

Kim

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

Me too

I am getting a bunch of notices of forums that I have not subscribed to???? whats up?

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

I cleared out the old tables. You guys getting these subscribed to forums months or years ago. I've had email disabled on this feature because the old forum had no control to disable it. Now since it was enabled some of you are seeing the emails come in.

I changed the default preference for everyone to receive only new threads created in subscribed forums for which you have opted for email notify.

I cleared out all forum level subscriptions and email notifies so you should not get emails to forums unless you explicitly subscribe and opt-in to get the email for them.

To change your prefs on this click SETTINGS and the click the subscriptions link or you can hit it from the forum homepage welcome panel where it says 'View Subscriptions'

RE: RCU VIRUS ALERT
 

Thankyou for straightening this out. We appreciate your service.

best regards,

Kim
