Chondritic Sound forum weirdness?

[RG]

I know a lot of the posters here also frequent the Troniks/Chondritic Sound forum, so I ask: have any of you experienced problems with it in the past few days? Meaning, does your Antivirus software give you a notice when you try to go there?

I've never had a problem with it until yesterday. My browser went apeshit as soon as the main page loaded (some bullshit fake virus scan looking thing), so I quick rebooted my computer, disconnected my internet and ran a scan on my computer using NOD32 and it detected/removed some bad stuff. After that I could view the board fine. Now today I try to go there and NOD32 pops up warning me that it detects bad vibes coming from there. Anyone else getting this?

Same problem

Obviously an all out attack on Greh.  Get the same malware warnings on his blog.

my browser wont even let me on the site without 3 Malware warnings.

XP.  Firefox (noscript, adblock).  Avast!.  Malwarebytes.

I haven't had any problems, and after a full Malwarebytes scan, it found nothing.  I did stop going to the board after hearing about all the problems.  I'll do a virus scan later and see what it finds.  I'll wait until someone here announces they have it fixed.

Heads-up are always appreciated.  No need for everyone to have a problem.  Live and share the lesson.

It's already not the first time. Troniks was down because of more violent virus attack 1-2 months ago, then they even closed the board, but after they announced that it's clean and so on - problems of trojans/viruses still appears time to time.

Just scanned Troniks, that would be pretty easy to attack, very vulnerable. It has a lot of un-patched PHP problems (no update since 2007?). This forum has a few too but most of the critical exploits require that the person have server access so its nothing too bad.

Like said, it has happened before. Greh cleaned it up then, lets hope it happens now too.
In this board, there are always some spam bots getting in, but I keep erasing them as they come. Not much of spam messages or other problems.
Should load the necessary updates soon. As said, nothing critical waiting, but perhaps wise to keep forum up-to-date.

I once frequented a forum that used the same build as this one and once it got perhaps 2 updates behind (sometimes even one) we would be flooded with about 35 sex spam bots registering per day. not much fun for admin.

i recommend making a captcha for people to register. do those work still?

[FreakAnimalFinland]

There is the hardest version available to make sure its real person that registers. Still few manages to pass.
Next step would be that joining in requires moderators approval, but unless spam becomes problem, I won't do it.

I tested chondritic forum and on explorer it would attack you with trojan faking as anti virus. My paid & constantly updated virus protected would easily handle it, though.

There has been c. 380 ID's registered. Now there are c. 300 members. less than 100 bots in half year? I guess thats fine. Less than one a day. And actual spam posted, I think happened once in history of board?

[RyanWreck]

Some bots are fine and are nice to have around, some (like certain "spiders") simply link your content back to Google, Yahoo!, Bing, etc and get you more hits.

[Zeno Marx]

cleansed and fixed yet?

[andy vomit]

i havent encountered any issues.

[GEWALTMONOPOL]

cleansed and fixed yet?

Hardly. Still full of idiots and chancers peddling their CD-r and other home botched crap when not crying about how awful it is that PE exists. Greh still shits over his customers from a great height. Ron still moderates. People with personality disorders still take up space with their retarded questions, advice and general mind diarreah. It's only good for advertising releases nowadays, so who really gives a fuck?

Does that answer your question?
