Northstandchat - "badware"

[Bozza]

Actually, that raises another question - are notifications working for anyone else? C'mon Bozza, pull your finger out!

I've currently got all non-core functionality disabled. Hopefully I'll get them back on tonight.

Does that include the single click return to board button?

No worries. I was secretly relieved to avoid NSC yesterday - any chance of some more downtime today, please?

I run Sophos, and that wasn't a problem for me. Also, a vast number of websites use PHP, so i'm going to assume that you're talking nonsense.

Yup, talking nonsense absolutely no idea what i am talking about. So you running Sophos web intelligence/control service are you?

No one should ever subscribe to a virus checker that just springs up and tells you that your PC is infected.

Not only are you scammed into paying for useless software you do not need, your credit / bank card details are in the hands of the wrong people.

Anyone who has subscribed to this 'virus checker' should cancel their cards and get new ones.

My work network is blocking access.

"Access has been blocked as the threat Mal/Iframe-AN has been found on this website"

Maybe I'll be more productive now

Getting same message at work my pc, IE9 and running Sophos.
@bozza Is there a fix on it's way or is asking IT for password and adding NSC as safe site the only answer?

As far as I'm aware, NSC is completely clean.

Yesterday, for a period of time, it wasn't. That was picked up by Google and similar 'bad site' monitors. I suspect your work stuff references that and is based on the issue yesterday. I have no idea if those systems re-scan sites at a later point in time and whitelist them again if they are found to be clean.

Sorry...

I put in a request to Google last night. I'm not aware of others I can make similar requests to, but will happily go through the process for others if any are pointed out.

Today?

it was yesterday when the site went down. i had the same thing come up as some others about cookies and headers or something. then this internet security 2013 scan thing started up . it wasnt my usual anti virus software so knew something was up .

Is this the reason why the Big Board is now banned at American Express? It was fine yesterday but today it's been blocked. But only the exact URL "http://www.northstandchat.com/forumdisplay.php?20-The-Big-Board" so it doesn't exactly stop anyone browsing the board, it's just annoying.

It's all working fine on my work machine now (on a Chrome browser, with a Sophos virus system), so looks as if the malware request might have taken effect.

 

[Cypriot-Seagull]

Any chance we can have the seagulls logo back on the tabs please?

 

[D Block blue]

I keep getting this page not sure if this is just an over protective thing in which you override or is one doomed?

 

[Seagulltonian]

@Bozza Fine work to get the board back running after Monday night. Cheers, I think

@Bozza working fine now at work with IE9 and Sophos no need now for that awkward conversation with IT department.

The big board still blocked at my work. All other forums are fine.
