How did SPAMS and Spywares got into HJU?

[Chronotia Archzenom]

If it's not happeing now, then it's not a big deal. It really depends on the host & what they can afford to do for the site to keep out the spy/adware things. So in other words.....Keith's fault.

Hope that they do not return, I hate those ads, they ended up Killing my PC once and I have to go to a nearby PC Shop and have those problems K.O.ed by reformating it:bawling:Aw! My files!

EDITIONS: It ain't KEITH's FAULT! It was because our board during that time was not yet as mature as those other boards. That means we are still susceptible to these nasty foes. Darn! It caused me (outside HJU) a lot of damage.

Mature or not, it still depends on the protection you have.

^ Wrong

It still is a problem.

You're still getting viruses from HJU?

I believe P-chan mentioned she jsut got another one from here. I disabled adds because I don't want to experience Vundo again. But yeah, you need find a better ad alternative.

 

[Keith Justice]

I... don't think there is one besides Google and Yahoo.

They should both be quite safe. Even the last one should be too.... I wonder what else it might be....

P-Chan.. please confirm.

Perhaps the faulty ad could be located and notified to your ad providers so they can look into it?

Of all the people that come through here every day, just these few people are having an issue. Are we sure it's even coming from here?

Vundo, or the Vundo Trojan (also known as Virtumonde or Virtumondo and sometimes referred to as MS Juan) is a Trojan horse that is known to cause popups and advertising for rogue antispyware programs, and sporadically other misbehavior including performance degradation and denial of service with some websites including Google and Facebook.

No were are not sure its from here. I have strong doubts that this sites ads are the problem and not from somewhere else.

Yeah that's what I thought. If they were from here, then wouldn't the 1000+ visitors a day be posting about it?
