Rumba Rue Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I believe this site has been infected with a virus. I recieved an email this morning, though I didn't open it, it carried a virus. The email was generated from Pub. I have done everything I can to shut it down. Be forewarned, if you get an email that says it's coming from the Pub and has a link to click on, don't click on it, delete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Syren Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thanks for the Warning Rumba...So far I have not received anything in my e-mail from the Pub nor a pm. Aye Phil I say we find who did it and then make em walk the plank..although a good keelhauling could be in order. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't) Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caraccioli Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Very strange - Norton blocked an intrusion attempt when I accessed the site just now. (This was not an email.) I also got the email as well. I will report it. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyratePhil Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I got the same email...Christine's sister had opened it on Christine's home puter (she's not home right now) and the computer is DEAD. They can't get it going - going to try to reinstall the OS. It only seemed to happen after she opened the email and went to the Pub. ...Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum... ~ Vegetius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyratePhil Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Good idea - still trying to figure out what happened - if Christine's computer death was caused by this... ...Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum... ~ Vegetius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Grace Oakum Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I got the same email today. When I saw that it was a link to an .exe file, I knew it had to be a virus. I'm running a virus scan as I type, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bob Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 should I rub in the "go buy a Mac" thing again? Macs aren't any more resistant to viruses than PCs, it's just that there are so few of 'em that nobody writes viruses to attack them. Now that Macs are using Intel-based hardware, I expect to see that change. I got the "FORUM ATTANTION ( From Pyracy Pub - the Pirate Forum )" email today. I use a WebTV, which can't run executable files (only one of its many limitations). Actually, this is the first time I've been glad I use WebTV. I've no doubt trying to hack one o' these babies is about as easy as crushing a marshmallow on an anvil with a ball-peen hammer. Like the Mac, however, there's little satisfaction to be gained from inconveniencing the (approximately) 17 people who actually have one. ~~Cap'n Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kass Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Also please run McAfee or Norton on your system even if you didn't open the virus in the email. I did not open it either, but viewing the Pub in IE downloaded two files to my Java directory that kept trying to pop-up new windows on my laptop. Luckily the pop-up blocker didn't allow this.

Silkie McDonough Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 should I rub in the "go buy a Mac" thing again? Mate, I was once a Macintosh Witness and some day when I have the funding I hope to retun to the fold but until then, a Windows environment and lots of security will have to do.
