Don’t you mindfuck me there mister!
Just to clarify folks…
Right now we are getting a LOT of personal messages delivered by spam bots. If you get them, delete them.
THIS THREAD is regarding the black mesa home page. Aparently there are some folks that get a message/warning from their anti virus program that there is a virus on the main website.
I think the only way to really track it down is if the administrator installs the same antivirus that these folks are getting, and then he checks out the message himself. I suspect it is a false positive tho.
I have a friend who bootlegged his AV, I had to fix that fucking virus too… :’(
Ok, I just installed Avira into my VirtualBox XP machine and went to the main site, nothing came up.
Could it be a specific banner ad triggering the false positive?
That’s a possibility, although I tried refreshing a bunch of times and it didn’t come up with anything.
I am currently reviewing our ad campaigns and nothing has came up. Tonight I will be taking care of our forum PM spam issue once and for all.
Three cheers for Hubi!~ Hip Hip …
HOORAY!
@Hubi Me and Raminator already did some things to help stop it 
Good luck though…
Peirce those pesky bots with your anti-spam horn, Mr. Hubi!
And stack them together on one massive kebab and we shall eat well until the mod is released!
It’s not any advertisements that are causing it. I have Ad-Block on so none of the ad’s load for me.
Also, I haven’t gotten the virus warning in a few days, if that helps.
MSE doesn’t find anything either.
No Shit Sherlock.
NoMercy was that really needed? You need to apologize.
I second that. Unless you want my horn up your ass.
I hate to sound like a noob but how are you guys getting this to pop up. Are you manually scanning the page somehow? I’ve got BitDefender and would like to help.
What I did was that I visited the homepage and Avira popped up with it’s automated response saying that the website was trying to download a malicious file.
Youch!
I’ve been reloading the page with bull guard scanning the cache folder and nothing has turned up. I’m just going to say that it would be a false positive.
