Malware on forums?

[david625]

Kept getting an error all day yesterday on Google Chrome saying that discussions.battlegroundeurope.com has malware and the browser blocked the page. It says it is very likely that it will infect my computer if I continue and that I should not continue to the website.

Today at work it is opening/working fine but a squad mate is now getting the same message from his browser and he is half way across the country from me.

Rats do you know about this yet? Any thoughts?

Not a good thing to have going on with returning players checking the game out

Edit: Just tried to submit this thread with Google Chrome and got the malware message again. Opened with Internet Explorer and it seemed to work fine.

DOC posted in a different thread that they were aware of the problem and were looking to fix it. He also stated that it was not actually their website causing the flag. Not only does Chrome flag it, but I run firefox as well and that flagged the forums as well, so you're not alone David.

Thanks leon!

[hg]

Yup, I have it too...

[mingus]

[maxios]

Confirmed - My Linux comp gets the same errors (using both chrome and firefox). Not so much on IE.

You literally... only had to look at the most recent post in these forums... that states the exact same thing...

Metripe (What was causing the malware warning) is no longer present according to my page source, so now they just have to have the blacklist removed.

[DOC]

the process by which the reporting is removed, even after the offending link was deleted ... means it will continue to report for some time even though the threat has been removed

this is because the reporting doesn't care that you fixed the issue, it continues to act as it did before it was fixed

this is not in our hands to change, so we have to wait on them

sucks, we agree

This one says you are still "infected": http://evuln.com/tools/malware-scanner/forums.battlegroundeurope.com/

Are you sure the site is clean ?

[company0]

Google reports nothing else malicious. I think that eSafe, the program they do to scan, got a false positive. My antivirus hasn't picked up a single thing on my computer and I visit the forums a LOT.

It's working fine now on both Chrome and Firefox.

It's working fine now on both Chrome and Firefox.

As of 5 minutes ago Google is now reporting our domains cleared.

/me rant on

May all malware creators, spammers, phishers, and other low life egotistical scumbags die a slow tortured death. May there be tearing of hair, weeping and gnashing of teeth.

/me rant off

[saintj]

Yes Tgunr, on one hand all those lowlifes assholes really make our work a bit harder. On the other hand they also give us work/jobs/money. The only thing that help IT more, job wise, are dumb computer users .

GJ on this issue and thank you.

Yes, you probably did, and it makes your armor thinner in tgtcwtf. That's how I know I got it too.

Thin chance. It was a java exploit. If you use Firefox, your Java's been turned off for months. Anything else, its possible but not likely. Most of the forum users are semi-computer literate (and keep their stuff updated)

Odds are nil to none. the pages which were in the code are no longer even on line anymore.
