Ruck Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Ive been using this site for years but never received a Virus Threat blocked message from AVG until now. Just thought I'd let you know. Details: Filename: bizforallpeople.in/dasdasaseq.php? Threat name: Exploit Blackhole Exploit Kit Dectection (type 1889) Quote
Ruck Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 and the site I was on before this was Catalinbreads pedals but I got the message when I loaded up BassChat Quote
risingson Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Yeh I got the 'site may be harmful to your computer' when trying to access through Google. Reported it to mods, have no idea whether the issue has been sorted etc. Edited May 17, 2012 by risingson Quote
vax2002 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Avast as well showing the site has a video clip that is trojan infected. Quote
KiOgon Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Just had a similar warning as I sent a PM! Sorry it went to soon for me to remember what it said Edit: What Rucks said above I believe Edited May 17, 2012 by KiOgon Quote
StraightSix Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Me too but remember that AVG (like some other AV programs) uses Heuristic analysis amongst other things to detect threats. Heuristics rely on the program looking for possible threats which may or may not be actual threats. Quote
Ruck Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 People are reporting virus threats from other anti-virus programs too so it seems so hmmmmm. Ive contacted about 5 mods and admins hopefully they can shed some light Quote
clauster Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Same here, Safari's in built threat detector picked it up. Quote
ped Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Thanks guys we'll look into it. I don't think it's anything to worry about. Quote

Silvia Bluejay Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) No warning whatsoever from my usually very reliable PCTools free AV. Maybe all you guys have AV software that's being exceedingly paranoid??? Edited May 17, 2012 by bluejay Quote
Sibob Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Hi Guys, Thanks for this, we're looking into it currently Si Quote
markstuk Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Same warning from Kaspersky... Firefox in my case.. Quote
chris_b Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I just got a warning from Norton, using Firefox. Quote
RhysP Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 My Avira antivirus programme quite often kicks in when I'm on Basschat - moreso than any other website in fact. Quote
