Jason,

Everytime i log on to PEBF from home my Microsoft Security flashes a threat to clean up.. Only on this site though.
 
I agree totally! Something is going on! I logged in via my personal laptop as well as at work! And both times I received alerts. I use a enterpise anti-virus at work as I am the IT guy and my corporate security guy called me asking what am I doing! Jason, please have your site reviewed to insure that no one has hacked the site!!

I've been getting them for about a week now. It says something about fake ads and then it redirects me to ads.
 
I am not sure what is going on, but I am looking into it. I got an alert from Google webmaster tools that listed several blog posts as the problem along with a few posts. All of the blog posts were "spam-tastic" with links to sites selling pharmaceuticals, so I just deleted those posts. The regular posts, I did not see anything wrong with them, but I deleted them anyway. I checked with the forum software site and the response I got from a few people is that they reviewed the site using three different virus checking software and the site came up as clean.

I am by no means a technical expert on these things. My initial investigation revealed that if there is an issue, it is likely either something called a base64 decode or an SQL injection attack. So, while I think the site is clear, I am still trying to figure out if there is an issue. Please let me know if you encounter any problems.
 
Same problem as of last night.

i have a MAC, NO ISSUES!!!!! not like that should be surprising though....
 
Still trying to get to the bottom of this. I can't tell at this point if there is an actual issue or not.
 
So far I have not had a problem, per se with the site, mine is that I'm looking at this on a gov't comp. and everyonce in a while I get the warning about the contents not having a valid security certificate, but other than that no real problems.
 
I had problems a couple of days ago, but it seems to have disappeared and am logging in without the warning.
 
I am constanly getting a message for blocked content from McAfee on all of this sites pages...
 
Same problem today...Norton is giving warnings of attacks and I get a popup telling me that if I continue that it could cause my computer to crash. So I cancelled and signed out of the browser and then resigned into the browser, proceeded to website and didn't get any warnings on second try.

Norton rated these as "High". An intursion attempt by www1.strong-masterxd.uni.me and kurazgdanc.in
 
I am still getting Google search blocks when I Google for specific issues and your Forum comes up as a possible click site for an answer to a specific question. It says it won't let me enter that specific site on your Forum and says the Forum may be a virus site.

It asks the Forum site admistrator to contact Google for additional information.

I am however, able to go directly to pebforum.com. But in my searching to specific answers, when the forum spot does come up, I can't access this site very often that way.

And it makes others who are searching for answers think your entire website may be viral.

OK Jason. Knowledge is power. Is this a military IT conspiracy or what?
hahaha

You can now add me to the list of those having this problem. I keep getting a "Reported Attack Site" Warning when I try to view most of the posts.
 
I have employed my technical smart guy to look into the issue. This is in addition to the near term migration to a new forum software platform. Hopefully, this issue will be resolved shortly and all members will have a better forum experience. I don't know if we are talking hours, days, or (hopefully sooner than this) weeks, but things should be fixed before long.
 
Jason, one thing I noticed the last couple of days is that somehow someway someone hacked the code to your site and embedded viral code so that it re-directs you to another site which in turn tries to install a virus onto a members system. I am seeing a lot of "hi5" virus code as well as other re-directs. Hope this helps but I suggest bringing the site down and run forensics. I would not do a software upgrade to the site until this has been done and verified due to if the code is embedded and no resolution, then when you do the upgrade it will still be there. Just food for thought and only my opinions and suggestions.

Jason,
Just as a heads up..every time after I access your site, I run spybot. Problems it brings up as malware/adware are BurstMedia, CasaleMedia, DoubleClick, MediaPlex, and Zedo. I keep my computer very clean, and have done kind of a test to see if this is where it's coming from..turns out..I'm sorry to say, it is. Hope that you can get this fixed soon as I love this site!

Tks!
