Soulpower 10 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 Starting yesterday everytime i come to this site i'm getting a warning from my virus protection that this site is trying to give me a Trojan Virus. I'm on dozens of websites daily, and this is the only site it's happening on. Princess, any idea what's going on & can you check it out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,712 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 Wow, no idea.... Can you try deleting the cookie for fanchitchat.com and then log in again?? Is anyone else getting this?? I've seen that warning from my security software, but not for this website. Turned out it was a saved cookie.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
branchop 319 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 I haven't been getting awarning, but the "back" button doesn't work on this site. I tried others including Facebook and it worked like a charm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soulpower 10 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 Well i came back on the site today and it was fine, so i don't know what happened. I thought maybe it had something to do with all those spam posters from a few days ago. But everything's working fine now. :4biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,712 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 And good that you mentioned it to us, even if was a false alarm. We want to know about this kind of stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tyler 408 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 I got the same kind of message - when I tried to click on a topic, it directed me to different site and I also had problems navigating away from it. I did a restart, reloaded and when I clicked in at main page, I got the virus warning but no re-direct. I also ran a sweep and it came back clean -- no problems today. FYI -- the site was in russian for whatever that is worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tyler 408 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 Nope -- just backed out of internet; when I tried to get back on at the home page thats when I got the virus warning. back out again -- did virus search which came back clean. Stayed away from the board (just in case) and then came back this morning with no problems. I couldn't even log into soulpower's post about the virus yesteday - kind of chicken to actually -- I am at work and I was afraid of taking down the network/server. but it seems to be all better.

lennyann 3 Report post Posted January 25, 2012 I got the same warning the past two days. It said Fanchitchat had malware on it from a website originating in Russia. I don't remember the site other than it had the .ru at the end of it. However, much to my glee, I didn't get the warning today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,712 Report post Posted January 25, 2012 Someone was kind enough to send me a screen capture of the warning. I think what's happening is the virus software is checking a cached version of fanchitchat.com with those crap spam posts we were getting. The posts had a URL to a spam/malware websites (which we all knew, lol!!) so your virus software is telling you not to click on those links. I am again going to suggest you hit the "Delete cookies set by this board" on the main board page. That will remove the cached versions of this website on your computer. Then the notices by your virus software should stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

princess 1,712 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 Well, here is what I had posted on the main www.fanchitchat.com page last nite: January 26, 2012 7:30 pm Pacific Time - Hi everyone, I know google is giving us the warning that this site may have malware. I believe this is because of the spammer posts we had last week, and google's web crawler tested us about the same time before I had a chance to delete the posts, which is why we're coming up on the "possible naughty list" now (at least we made it on the naughty list after Christmas!!). I've requested google re-check us just to be sure, hope to have this un-needed warning notice corrected in next day or two. Keep you posted.... Now this morning it looks like google re-checked us and we're fine.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

princess 1,712 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 Yup, go the PMs - thanks!! I had the warning on Foxfire too last nite. Did all the hoop-jumping Google asked of me and then requested they re-checked us last nite. This morning I'm not getting any notices from google or foxfire, and when I check my request to google they say we passed the re-check. Anyone getting from Safari still?? Looking at the Safari notice above post by Serendipity, looks like Safari using google service too so google still needs to notify Safari...?? FYI, I check this site regularly using three different computers. I've ran scan on all three computers and no maleware found. Pretty sure the cached posts I already deleted are what set all the warnings off, but anyone finds anything different let me know.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
