Trojan Horse

lew1 · 05-28-2013, 08:49 PM

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

Edward Tinker · 05-28-2013, 08:59 PM

Are you using AVG

Curly1 · 05-28-2013, 11:42 PM

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

laoshi75 · 05-29-2013, 03:04 AM

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!!!

John D. · 05-29-2013, 08:44 AM

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..!

John D. · 05-29-2013, 08:46 AM

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

Many thanks!

John D.

Frank · 05-29-2013, 12:22 PM

John, everything appears to be working.

Thanks a bunch!!

John D. · 05-29-2013, 09:40 PM

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..!!

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

John D. · 05-30-2013, 04:15 PM

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

lfid · 05-30-2013, 07:34 PM

Bill

John D. · 05-31-2013, 08:06 AM

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.

rhuff · 05-31-2013, 04:04 PM

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

lfid · 05-31-2013, 05:00 PM

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

John D. · 05-31-2013, 05:42 PM

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

rhuff · 06-01-2013, 03:30 PM

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!!

John D. · 06-01-2013, 04:02 PM

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

Edward Tinker · 06-01-2013, 04:04 PM

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.
