Security Risk Threats - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

NewLeaf · 12-26-2009, 05:18 AM

I'm getting security alerts whenever I get on SR again. Using Internet Explorer and don't get this on any other sites.

Wondering why this keeps happening?

Thanks for all you do, btw.

Me too. I get the following...

Mods,

I looked into this and the threat I am getting is called bloodhound exploit 193 according to Norton.

Bloodhound.Exploit.193 | Symantec

Quote:

Discovered: June 23, 2008
Updated: June 23, 2008 4:56:13 PM
Type: Trojan, Virus
Systems Affected: Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows XP

Bloodhound.Exploit.193 is a heuristic detection for files attempting to exploit the Adobe Flash Player Multimedia File Remote Buffer Overflow.

Symantec blocked this on my machine so I am really in no danger but it makes me wonder how the SR server(s) got infected.

Hope this helps

I really like this site and I would hate to stop coming here, but I have to admit that I am getting really concerned. I know they have tried to fix it before, but here it is again.

I get it too.

When is something going to be done about it?

I'm getting it, too. I've been reading where others have been getting it for several weeks but I never did until this morning. I use Firefox and thought maybe that's why I wasn't getting the message, but apparently, that's not the case.

Me too, a trojan was blocked when I logged on, and I got a suspicious e mail from somewhere i had never heard of.

I took it out again. The only thing I can do is take it out when I see it.

I know the owners have been working on it.

I know I am safe on SR even when this stuff pops up..I run Spybot if I feel I need to and if anything pops up I follow that with Avast..It is an annoyance, and I feel for MG . A lot of work has been done and continues to be done on this site, lately....thanks, Guys...

NewLeaf · 12-26-2009, 02:11 PM

Thanks, MG. Just wanted to give you the heads up. I know you're on it.

***Morning Glory*** · 12-26-2009, 02:39 PM

Thank you for letting me know. I usually get a PDF prompt when it's here so it's easy for me to spot, but keep letting us know.
