Warning..virus

[1BigDog]

Im not looking to start a flaming war or anything. This is just being posted as a precaution. I went to the Venturers website to check on a tech link before and was immediately hit with a Trojan virus. Now I know that the site has been the victim of several malicious virus attacks in recent months and I was hoping the issue was resolved. It obviously is not the case. My McAfee system caught it and contained it immediately. Again, its just a warning to be careful.......

I had the same problem ...I hope they will fix it soon .

[Bloodbought1]

It has been that way for months now.

So that's where it came from....

[painterman67]

It has been that way for months now.

Its the people they let advertise on their site thats causing the problem I believe.

[Eck]

Heck, I never click on that site anyway.. I find all I need is right here on this site.

 

Good friends, good rides, good food and several listed Dairy Queens.........

This has been an issue for months now. not sure why they

do not so anything about it yet , they even have offered

4 free months , I can barley log in from work , but at home

it is a no go. seems that they would have fixed this by now though.

 

I enjoy the folks on both these sites!

oh well.

[Cougar]

I miss Dairy Queen!

[Cougar]

Talk about timing.. Ummm anyways I just received this a while ago..

 

Jeff,

 

My apologizes for taking so long to reply.

 

We should be on new software very soon. I was told by IX that it should have happened by COB Friday but that didn't happen. I am anticipating Monday or Tuesday. When that happens, a notification email will be sent out to the entire membership.

 

Thanks for hanging in there with us.

I guess my post over there on Venturers ruffled some feathers, I didnt intend to hurt anyones feelings, but heck ive been getting virus warnings over there for months! I like the forum and there are a lot of great people over there, but the bugs and virus warnings are just more hassle and worry than I feel i want to deal with.

I do feel sorry for their people working on the issues, and I do know that they work hard and i appreciate the work they do.

 

I know we have quite a large number of members that go into both forums so, If I hurt anyones feelings in this forum or there, I apologize.

Brian, I posted the same type of thing about a month ago.

I would not worry about it. this all should be fixed soon

I am hoping. maybe that is what it takes, but there

has been more then ONE Ruffle going on !

 

Don't tell anyone but I do like the format of this site

much better and it is my home. the other site has a lot

of great members and good info as well!

 

But this will always be my home!

The tech area works fine for me. Are you guys sure it's not a problem with your OS?

 

(Sorry, couldn't help myself.)

[Cougar]

Then there is A LOT of OS problems out there then!

[FJR Rider]

Pretty big problem .. but getting close with the host on getting it resolved. The interim fixes worked for a while, but whomever is messing with the site manages to get the bugs back in after a few days.

 

Don't worry about ruffling feathers..most of the people have had their tail feathers singed before

 

You're all right! Good people here, there, and on Delphi!

[Brake Pad]

it nailed me too, all my sites where knocked off, some I cant get back on too.

I enjoyed spending time on the other site, too, and it was the first Venture site I ever visited. The folks on there were super and really helped me with my first Venture. Now that I use only my work laptop I cannot use the site. I have wound up with Trojan Downloaders twice and our techs have forbidden me from going there since we have been forced to clean this up. I let my membership expire there because I just could not go to the site... I have never experienced any problems here thankfully! Thank you Don for taking care of us.

I'm just suprised McAffe actually found something.
