Trojan Horse
 

Coming on to the site, my security program said that a Trojan Hose was blocked.

Are you using AVG

Yea I see it on AVAST if you come in thru the main page.

Same for me (avast).

I use AVAST

Ed, I found that bypassing the main page, going directly to the discussion page, the forum is NOT BLOCKED.

I don't know why AVG just decided to initiate the block.

Oh well, I'm glad the solution was this easy, thanks to a suggestion from Gerben on the P.38 Forum.

I'm a happy camper again!!! :)

Hi guys,

I made some changes to the opening pages in an attempt to appease the "ANTI Virus" Gods ;) Another thing I did was take the forum out a "framed" view, as AVG though I was hiding "Cookies" there...??

Best to all..!

Frank - can you tell me if the main page at "Lugerforum.com" is still blocked??

Many thanks!

John D.

John, everything appears to be working. :)

Thanks a bunch!! :cheers:

My thanks Frank!!!

As well - if folks have difficulty with the site - just simply e-mail or call me??

My best and thanks to all..!!

John D.

Mr. John D.

Every time I log onto this site I receive the following message:

Internet Explorer has blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors.

I have Norton Security.

Thanks

Hey rhuff!

Which version of Internet Explorer are you running..??

As well - do you mean this forum: http://forum.lugerforum.com/

Or the main site: http://www.lugerforum.com

Best to you!

John

John,
Im using norton NIS 20.3.1.22 64 bit and windows 7 and go direct to http://forum.lugerforum.com/ and have seen no problems in last several days

thanks for all you do !!!
Bill

Hi Bill..!

Many thanks for the feedback - and letting me know what the configuration you are running..!! I'm still waiting to hear which link/page rhuff is having an issue with, BUT - it might be that his version of IE is pulling the old site from cache..??

Anyway - my best to you - and my thanks again!

John D.

I am using Windows 8 and logging onto the main site http://www.lugerforum.com/

Am I doing something incorrectly? I am not very computer savy. It only started doing this a few days ago. It is happening in more sites than just this one.

thank you

also direct to home page http://www.lugerforum.com/ access works ok for me and all seems ok there

yep, would be good idea for anyone failing to clear there browser cache and reboot and retry

and also run a security system ( norton, mcafee, etc ) manual update and see what happens next

Hi rhuff and lfid..!!!

Lfid - many thanks for the assist! Yep, I was going to suggest that first, that Richard tries clearing his browser cache and give it another try.. BUT - as well, he's using Windows 8, so that might not be the answer (hopefully it is, though)... In Windows 8 - there is a root certificate optional update, which - if clearing your cache doesn't work, I'll have you try next...

Again - my best always - and my thanks!

John

Please bear with me, as I am nearly computer illiterate.

I removed the link from my favorites list, and then used Google and typed in"Luger Forum". I clicked on the Google link and it brought me to the facepage of the Luger forum with NO notice of security certificate errors. I was thinking that maybe I was on to something......spoke too soon. I added the link/address back to my favorite list and gave it a try, and it was back just like it has been with the warning. Drat!!

If I go through Google, then no problem, but if I use my Favorite list....bingo. The caution allows me entrance into the site, and I can remove the warning by clicking on "display blocked content".


Does any of this make sense to you John? Sorry to be so stupid, but maybe age is a factor....Nah!!

It certainly does make sense.... ;) And - as it is happening on other sites for you too....

OK... If you are willing, let's try this... As you are running IE 8...

• Open Internet Explorer - and CLICK ON THIS LINK: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
• Next select CUSTOM and scan
• If a Root Certificates update is listed (possibly in the Optional Software updates category on the left-hand side of the scan results window), install it...

As well - it *could be* that you have some other AV program on your computer, which is still held in your browser sessions - BUT - we'll get to that in a while, OK??

Best to you!

John

Clear the cache (delete history and such, be advised that clearing cooes will mean password must be manual)

Removing a link doesn't do much, it's like a map address.

John,

I did as you suggested and checked for any regular updates(none needed) then to the custom scan and looked in the software updates and found one concerning security certificates. I installed that software, restarted my computer, to no avail. I really thought that you had hit a home run.

I have set my computer where all of the day's history is deleted when I close it down. Also, Norton does a "cleanup" approx. every 20-30 days.


I really feel guilty taking you folks time with my computer glitch. As I stated, it does not stop me from entering the website, just is a "pain" being there on the sites that I frequent, but not all of the sites

Thank you for all of your help.

Richard

My Kaspersky picked this up. There was a trojan in one of the links to get on here

No trojans here. It's just a couple of overactive antivirus toolkits that mark normal, standard behaviour as 'suspicious'.

A way to circumvent the messages / warnings is to surf directly to the forum:

http://forum.lugerforum.com

On my computer it makes no difference which way I get to the forum, the "notice" still is shown on an information bar.

I still can't replicate what you are experiencing - BUT - I know you are!! Can you take a screenshot of what you mean by "on an information bar"?

I will figure this out - somehow! Just not sure, exactly "how"??

Best to you!

John

John,

I am sorry, but I do not know what a screen shot is. Please forgive my ignorance on these matters.

As I look at my computer screen and type this response, just above the Luger Forum page, and below my toolbar, is this message(approx. 1/2in. high) that runs across my complete screen. It reads:

"? To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors. Click for options"

When I click on the options, I get:
(1) Display blocked content

(2)What is the risk

(3) Information bar help


I have been through all three possibles many times, and can not get this information bar removed. As stated above, it does not show up on all of the sites that I visit, but on a fair number.

Richard

You might try going to the Windows update site and make sure your computer is fully updated with all the security and certificate downloads.

-ML

Howdy rhuff..!

When you have a second - can you run Windows Update again - and select "Custom" (as in my previous post) - and look for this optional update: KB2416400

If you see it - try installing it, and reboot your system...

Many thanks!

John

John,

I did as you suggested, but update KB2416400 is not available to me to install.....Sorry.

I have Microsoft Windows XP with, I believe, Windows 7 (maybe 8, but don't think so for some reason) upgrade, if that makes any difference. This is the only unit that I have ever owned, so I have nothing to compare it to.

Thank you for your time and help,
Richard
