I was on the Quilting Board site and all of a sudden I had something that said, Computer threat on Quilt Board site. Do not go to this site as it may take financial information etc from me. What Is This?????
|
Not sure about that but I was on here last night and Norton popped up a message that a trojan tried to access my system. I love this site so much, I would hate to have to stop visiting because of something like this.
|
I wonder if it could be something trying to creep in from the adds ? Contact Admin and let him know, he needs to be aware if there is a problem
|
I have Norton, and have never had anything like that pop up, or when I had Mc Caffee either here...
|
A few people have reported something similar.
Make sure it's real antivirus and not adware posing as antivirus. For example, here is the scan information straight from Norton: http://safeweb.norton.com/report/sho...ltingboard.com If you have popups claiming to be Norton antivirus, it might be malware that pretends to be a Norton application, while in reality it's adware. |
This is the info that norton gave me:
Risk name: HTTP Trojan Mebroot Request Attacking Computer: 67.18.213.122.80 access was blocked |
See on top of it :thumbup: thanks for the info

So with port 80, it would be 66.135.53.75.80 or 66.135.53.75:80. If some post was infected, it would come from the same IP, not from 67.18.213.122.80. It's either adware or rogue ads. Can you take a screenshot of the page next time you see it happen? If possible, try to make sure the ads are visible. That could shed some more light. |
It looks like someone posted about it on Norton's forums:
http://community.norton.com/t5/Norto...on/td-p/224672 If you use Norton, then you might want to keep an eye on that thread. And here is a screenshot from someone talking on Google forums about a similar attack: http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o.../Capture-1.jpg Is that the kind of popup you get? |
Yes, that's it, except the extension name was a bit different. Otherwise, yes it's the same message.
