Is there a Virus on Nappturality???

**Micheli** · 10-12-2013, 03:32 AM

Every single time I click on a link I get an "unknown" security warning pop up on this forum. Is this happening to anyone else? I only get it when I'm on nappturality. I had to stop using explorer because it would freeze up. Now I'm on chrome.

I got the same virus warning the last time I was on NP on my laptop (no problems with my phone though) and my default browser is Google Chrome.

How does one report to the mod squad? I though that posting to the tech forum was doing precisely that

It is, but to have a message directly go to a mod, just click the report button at the bottom of the post. That post will be directed to the moderators. Sometimes a post may be missed in here so if you need immediate help, make a post then report it. (the little triangle with exclamation point inside)

Ah! Thank you, I'll do that for anything urgent.

ETA; Thanks for the info on what's happening...

I believe I have finally found and removed that nasty virus. You should not get any more messages. Please let me know if you do.

what a nightmare

I am so sorry about this!!!!! And so angry!

Mods: just in case it helps in solving the issue I use Google Chrome and am having the same issues. It's been an issue for the past 2-3 weeks I think. This is the furthest that i've been able to get into a thread. Since the weird popups started every time that I try to get into an actual thread my screen freezes.

Thanks for helping -- I've been missing the forum.

I get pop up asking to me to give permission to access Java because there is some kind of expiration or something. Don't know how to do a screen shot. I deny access cause I don't know what's going on.

Once again, please report to the Squad so we can help you help the board in the future. We always appreciate the feedback and investigate issues.

There are some devils out there with nothing better to do than hack into and destroy people's websites. THIS is why people give up on keeping websites. I will be spending the next few weeks to a MONTH cleaning up the MESS they created by hacking into the admin area of the forum and I will now have to spend a fortune on programmers to fix everything and patch up vulnerabilities or shut the whole thing down and rebuild it. New PANK subscriptions have had to be suspended because they hacked into that area to try and divert money (destroyed that whole area) and also hacked in through Forumrunner which is why it is acting up and is now also turned off until they can fix that. Haven't decided what to do yet. Too pissed off right now to make a decision - wait til I calm down first
