Virus on cc.com?

Yes there are a few trojans and hijackers floating on the site and my endpoint catches them and deletes them. I think the site server needs to be deep scanned and cleaned, most likley something was uploaded with infections?


PS I am a senior 30+ years I.T. Guy and see several site issues in this area and a few other malware things flying around too so be carefull:)

aussiechallenger...I had similar warnings with google analytics being mentioned.

The only problem I have with the site is it freezes up sometimes. It's the only one on my puter that does it. When it happens I just close it and reopen it, then it works again.

That works, but that is also how my pc acts just before I get the virus attack notice.

That google.analytics thing posted is an old trojan.  This server does need to be scanned, but if you've kept your scanner up to date you should also be fine.

so if the site is not infected then why is it throwing out infected trojans to folks pc's then?

please explain....

My laptop virus scan, just last night, quarantined and removed a trojan related directly to this site.

Is it possible for a forum member to work on the inside sending viruses on an individual basis? It sems sporadic on who, when, and how many are receiving these attacks.

If there are other sites on the server hosting this site then it is entirely possible the viruses are coming from the other sites.  Without the server manager actually going in and cleaning up the system there is anything we as users can do and likely it isn't someone from our user pool doing the damage.
