Autopia Infected with Virus

I have Kaspersky and the same thing happened to me. I did a scan and it found 1 trojan. The anti-virus took care of it no problem.

 

If you use Google Chrome, it does the same thing. Chrome is really all I use now.

 

I just bought a Mac. Did I mention that? LOL

 

Hi guys! What's going on in here??

 

We are trying to figure out how on earth Autopia is going to reimburse all who lost time and money by being infected by their Web site!

 

I found out yesterday when I linked someone on another forum to an Autopia thread and they told me it infected their computer. I was doubtful that Autopia was the cause, so I went to check myself and sure enough it was blocked/flagged by Firefox.

Guess I'll be spending some more time around here.

 

To be fair, autopia's site just got 'hacked' by spyware/malware or something similar. Probably from tunch123 or someone else's workstation with a master password to autopia's files on the host. They aren't DIRECTLY responsible for it, but they need to fix it and move on.

 

Yeah, I understand things happen but with the recent spamming from some random Japanese heavy industrial equipment supplier and other issues with their blog/forum/home set up I feel they got into something they weren't really prepared to handle.

Depending how long it takes them to get this fixed will determine whether I ever come back or not.

 

Personally, I don't find the new layout very easy. It almost hurts my brain just trying to navigate that site.

 

Yea... definitely freaked my Mac/Safari out... I'm just staying clear of it anyways until they can get it back up and running, but it sure does seem to be taking a looooooooong time.

 

i have to agree...

 

It's back up, but visit at your own risk. I don't see any of the malicious code in view source anymore. Also they've moved hosts again (to LIQUIDWEB like I suggested months ago)

 

Woot! About dang time!

 

:woopdedoo:

 

i don't think i'll be visiting them anytime soon.

 

Go ahead and give it a try and if you don't have a virus, let us know.

:applause2:

 

Working great for me(fingers crossed). Bout time! :applause::applause::applause:

 

Not working for me in FF or IE....

You still get the warning, but you gotta say "Proceed Anyway" to the warnings to go onto the site.
