Pink Poogle Toy Forum

ummm...hi everyone...Lovio diden't realy force me to post here...he "asked"...LOL.

I don't realy know why thou...LOL.

Oh by the way, I got a few virus alerts comming from the pages on this site...I bet one of your ads is distributing the virus.

By the way...I love the name...Pink rules...LOL.

Oh, if you are curiouse where I came from, I came from the Cybernet Resources forums at http://www.cybernetresources.com ...and I am the Webmaster there...and Lovio is a mod on my forums if he hasen't already blabbed about it here...lol.

I've blabbed about it alright!

Welcome to PPT, on here in the forums there aren't actually any ads.

Welcome, chatterbug89. There aren't any ads on the forum section of the site as far as I know. I hope you enjoy it here! If you need any help, feel free to ask.

Firstly, welcome to PPT

And secondly ;There are no viruses on this site. Please refrain from spreading rumours.

When its 2 members of another Neo Fan site doing the rumour spreading, and you also include a link to your own boards, it also seems a little suspect.

I repeat, there are no viruses on PPT.

Jim

Nope. There aren't any unless your computer creates them. You may have a cookie (a computer cookie, not a dough cookie).

Anyway, welcome to PPT!

I am positive what I saw, it showed up on every page I went to for about 5 pages and then stoped (this was on the site, not the forums)...I have seen this before (usually with spyware). An ad will start distributing a virus which is stored in the Temporary Internet Files (I wish I tooka screenshot and got the name...I wasen't thinking). I am not spreading rumors, and I would suggest someone would look into that...

I am not the rumor spreading type anyways

EDIT: Also, I know what a cookie is ...I also know a little PHP and Regex to...umm...LOL...

EDIT: I just got it again while surfing your site and this time I got a screenshot



OK, while doing some research on this virus, I found out some weird things.

First of all, for some reason it is not in the mcafee database (they are one of the worest companys in my opninion, so it dosen't surprise me.)

I have also found out that this virus is quite recent, it's date of origin is in May and it has just started apearing in the US about 3 months ago.

According to http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/t/tr ... hought.asp the virus will run....
trojan.win32.secondthought.a.exe
trojan.win32.secondthought.b.exe
trojan.win32.secondthought.c.exe
I would suggest that a lot of use press crtl-alt-delete and check for these files...and if you do find them please post here so Jim dosen't think I am spreading rumors

I'll try to find some more info...but I realy have to get back to work...so long everyone

EDIT2: Oh, for all of you who have never heard of Nod32, it is the best anti Virus ever...LOL. Anyways, it is popular, but it is a lot more advance, so the normal computer users tend to stick with easier programs such as mcafee (or nortan...nortan is 1000000000% better than mcafee ). I use it because it is my job to test files for review and I like to have control over things

I have Ad-Aware professional and Norton internet security / anti-virus and PPT has never had any viruses. It has pop-ups on the main page, but never viruses.

I work as a network manager for a stockbrokers. I have a masters degree in computer & Network engineering as well, so I think I possibly know a bit more than you chatterbox.

PPT IS VIRUS FREE!!!

You are getting that virus from a program that has installed itself on your machine, PPT doesn't do that, otherwise Ad-Aware pro would block it and report it to me.

Maybe you got the virus from one of the programs you have to test for review

read the last post and just check for those files by pressing alt control delete...I have a feeling some people will be surprised...as I said, the virus is relitively new.

EDIT: I know it came from somethign from this site because I only get that warning when I come here and only here (exculding the message boards)...and I do a lot of surfing...no virus alerts on any other websites

Arogence, try using the edit button --peopel appreciate it

EDIT2: I found some more info on the virus-- http://www.viruslist.com/eng/viruslist.html?id=815149 --There is a big clue about why the virus may be on this site ( hint hin: http://www.2n****ought.com/files/loader.exe )

I didn't want to edit what I'd said, just make a follow on comment from what you'd said. And before you start criticising me, learn how to spell or at least read your message before posting it

Like I said again, Webris, I checked again and there is NO VIRUS!!

Okay. No matter what it is you are trying to prove or disprove, this isn't the place for it. This is for current members to welcome new members to the forums, not for arguments. There is no need to start attacking one another. I don't know what this thread has turned into, but it seems it is no longer a friendly welcome thread so I am going to lock it.
