I have a Sophos antivirus console that monitors 1000+ PC's. This website is bringing up alerts today.

yesss it has been doing it to me for the last few days or so
It is generating a lot of malware. I wouldn't suggest sitting on this site for too long until they fix it.
I'm on my work computer which is locked down and I'm getting nothing.

Ok. It's not just this website, but its effecting mostly vbulletin sites.
yeah I have friends who say they love MDS but they won't come here cause of viruses. I've never had trouble until a few days ago.
It's not a virus. Its spyware/malware/spam. It also could be a false positive.
I have Sophos antivirus and can monitor the admin console and haven't seen anything thus far. Maybe there are links on some threads that I haven't been in that are causing the alerts?
I see the alerts in my admin console.
This wouldn't be the first time their expensive software has caused a lot of problems. Remember when one of their own developers accidently wrote a script that made EVERY PC across the nation bring up alerts? Thatwas about a year ago.
I detect nothing.
You know who we should ask about this? Faq-he's my tech go-to guy. I need his input before I make any rash decisions.

Now I'm good, but I'm also behind an apple device.

Still constant pop-ups on my windows machine. We run Sophos. I contacted their engineers and it's not a problem on their end. If I stay on this site for too long, my console populates alerts like crazy.
i have malwarebytes anti-malware & its still going off like crazy
Malwarebytes is a great program! I only use it when I need it. I don't use it as a first line of defense.
However, my first line of defense, doesn't want me on MDS.
I have AVG free and no problems.
oh you know i removed the ads from the forum. but not the articles. i'll fix that later.
J, still high risk website. I can help you track this! PM me!
Me too - well, none that it's telling me about?? Maybe that's why this is my 4th ph/tablet in 8 mths?
I was wondering what killed the others (admittedly, at least one died from hitting the floor when I fell asleep posting. The real culprit is clearly U.S timezones)
So, somebody is sitting behind a test domain, hiding their IP, and gaining access to the server. Did you have to upgrade the PHP J? I heard vbulletin sites had easy targets with the old PHP software.
it was a vbulletin exploit.
