Why Is It That When I Click On Certain Posts...
 

..hereabouts, my antivirus and firewall both light up, telling me that attempts to connect to my computer have been blocked?

Whatup?

Sally.

Oof. That sounds like what my computer started doing when I got a virus/rootkit.

Do a google search for something along the lines of 'symantec anti-virus' and click some of the results. Do they get redirected? Apparently SE redirects were just a part of the nasty bundle that attacked my machine.

A banner in someones sig perhaps . . or worse.

did you pay the GFY-VIP fee? If not, there's teh answer :thumbsup

Doesn't sound good, I would get that checked out right away (although I suspect it is from a pre-existing condition, and not due to GFY)...

It's GFY. Mine's been doing that for at least 6 months now. I think it's in someone's sig. Never had it actually cause problems, just pops the antivir...

LoL :1orglaugh

I'll start a file of the offending threads with the IP from which the attacks originate and post it periodically so that the perp can perhaps be determined.

Subsequent virus and security scans indicate no infecton but lots of blocked attempts.

Sally.

Your computer sucks more cock than you apparently

I think you should be looking closer to home personally.

stfu.

My, my! What friendly people and what intelligent replies they make! What's wrong, AGent? Afraid the records might point to you? My box is just fine as the connection attempts are blocked. I'll see if I can'at narrow down the list of suspects though.

Sally.

Yes, I did that and ran every virus scan on the planet and nothing showed up, so I think the box is secure and since the attempts are being blocked, I'll simply check regularly and record the info I get on the attempts to connect.

Sally.

It probably is just a sig as others are suggesting. However when my computer got hit all the scans I ran came up clean too. I kept getting the blocked attack warnings, then noticed the search engine redirects, and then other stuff started getting corrupted.

Most antivirus software keeps a log of the notices - have you checked there for more info?

Yes, thank you for the suggestion. I will check those and get back to you but I have severe heat problems with the livestock today as we have had four days of 98-102 F heat here and they are requiring a lot of cooling off and it's taking up bunches of time.

CU ltr!

Sally.

you implying that i am serving up a virus/trojan on this website retard?

someone tell Sally Jessie that most anti-virus programs don't do shit for spyware and malware.

her computer is obviously infected from all the rape fantasy sites she visits.

Hmmmmm.

Didn't write that at all but did question your motives in your original reply. You should try reading what I wrote in light of your response to my original post.

Apparently you can read or at least you have someone reading out loud to you, so take a second look.

Methinks the Lady (YOU!) doth protest too much!

Thus spake The Bard!

Thus speaks Sally Rand.

GFY and have a nice day!

Sally.

Ooooooooooooooooo................................. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, area51; spooky, etherial, mythical and made up bullshit; you are aptly named! No virus, no trojans and no spyware here! I'm smart enough to go looking and find what I'm looking for! Simple internet attacks which my security software blocks and I suspect that you really know nothing about the worlds of blackhat,phishing, trojans, worms, spyware, etc, and since you are essentially uneducated those regards, you are out of your depth as you resort to Ad Hominem attacks rather than deal with the issue at hand but that is OK with me. Such attacks are the last resort of those who are in over their heads in whatever matter is under discussion. People are free to be whatever kind of halfwits they desire to be; not that you are a halfwit or anything like that.

Just a bit of generalization on my part but if the shoe fits..........................

You have a nice day!

Sally.

Time to move up to a Mac:2 cents:

Shit, too!

Pardon me but fuck a bunch of MACs.

Exposing the attackers is much, much better and far more fun!

MACs are only "safe" because they have held such a pitiful portion of the market, resulting in an unbelievable arrogance on the the part of MAC owners and a very,very false and complcetely unfounded sense of security; "We're safe!", "MACs are immune!" and such other similar horseshit. MACs simply were not worth bothering with for the bad guys because of the low market share.

The bad news is that now that MAC or Apple or whatever the fuck you want to call those travesties of electronic machines have a larger market share, the bad guys are targeting them and have run experimental attacks in order to improve the malware. With most MAC users virtually unprotected, one morning about 90% of them will wake up and find themselves botnetted or worse.

They will then cry and howl "UNFAIR!"; Apple stock will plummet and people will go back to where they should have been in the first place.

AND there is NOTHING wrong with my computer! It is an out-and-out attack from the earlier specified domain!

datinggold.com is 67.220.140.58

and

Hello noob. Welcome to the internet.

Same IP, 67.220.140.58 attempted attack on this thread:

Sally.

Deniro Marketing is Dating Gold. I'm highly skeptical that Dating Gold is distributing malware.

Oy Veyyyyyyyyyy

Well, then why in the fuck are they trying to access my computer?

Whatup?

Why does not their affiliate manager come in here and let us know what is going on?

Sally.

Ah what a glorious post :D

Well, I'm fuckin' right.

Sally.

cookies!

I haven't had a virus in 4 yrs and the only security I use is AVG free edition and weekly scans with 'spybot'.
I find it funny when people are lonely and need attention they start stupid threads like this. What could you possibly do that is worth someone attacking your port 80. LOL. I can't for the life of me figure out what you do? You don't produce or provide content. You don't design or develop websites or programs.
What do you do that has relevance to this board?

(1) You have no idea what the fuck I do.

(2) I give up! Why would someone attack through Port 80? What I know is the attacks are occuring and occuring on several threads on this board.

(3) What I do that is relevant to this board is market adult, Mr. Smarty-pants!

(4) Such attacks represent a legitimate security concern to the board and its users.

(5) And I'm not seeking attention, Dr. Phil. I am bring to the attention of the board a possibly dangerous situation worthy of investigation.

AVG is precisely what is detecting this threats, so I would suggest to you that you need to update your AVG and check the settings and no, it's not a cookie problem.

GFY.

Sally.

It's possible your computer is giving you false positives. As AVG is fairly popular and you seem to be the only one here affected by this, it leads me to believe that your computer may have corrupt file(s).

Have you tried using a different browser to see if AVG still identifies a problem? If you're not using FireFox, download it and add the NoScript extension.
