Warning Will Robinson! Danger! Danger! Site under ATTACK

[OZZIE4DUKE]

When I tried to get to CTN this morning, my anti virus protection (McAfee) blocked me. Not because they were carolina fans (I don't think), but because of some malware that was roaming around the site yesterday. Here is the text of the page I saw, plus the link they provided that gave an explanation of what happened yesterday. SOMEONE who visited the site yesterday may have gotten infected if you don't have up to date virus and other malware software on your computer. If that's you, better get something downloaded and disinfect yourself!

Here is the diagnostic page it took me to when I clicked on the "why is this site blocked?" button they provided:

I got the same message on my work computer. Am using my iPad. Which I also use to watch the Olympics while I'm at work.

FYI I know about this but can't do anything until I get home and have some time to figure out where the offending files are.

[CameronBornAndBred]

I'm getting mixed results. AVG's own site checker says we are fine.

McAfee agrees.

I had a similar experience this morning, so I didn't check in and say "good morning."

Now I need to go around to the good morfternoon thread and tell you all "good morfternoon."

I use AVG and usually Safari on both my laptop and my desktop. The laptop says the sky will fall if I sign on to CTN. The desktop just waltzes right in. Beats me.
Love, Ima

I'm running Ubuntu and still getting the message in Chrome, so not just PCs.

No warning this morning! Thanks CBB

[CathyCA]

I got the warning again this morning.

[bluebutton]

No warning this morning! Thanks CBB

Take that back. No warning on FF, warning in Chrome on my Ubuntu machine.

[Devil in the Blue Dress]

The warning comes up when I use FF, plus the message comes up on Chrome to tell me that there's malware.

The cybergremlins finally got to Iowa and my Apple equipment - it's sporadic but irritating for sure! Makes you wonder who is doing this....bet they are wearing a baby blue shirt!
