CHEERS.RAY. Title: Re: Profile lockdown! Post by: Salty (Karl) Cardiff Scan Club on November 10, 2009, 08:58:27 PM Terry, How do you know /can you tell, the viruses came from this site?
Title: Re: Profile lockdown! Post by: Terry on November 10, 2009, 09:04:35 PM Yes, my virus warnings pop up, and tell you where they came from, and on the two occasions mdw were on them?
Terry Title: Re: Profile lockdown! Post by: Chef Geoff on November 10, 2009, 09:26:07 PM A lot of the virus warning come from GIF images that people use as their avatar's. Virus softwear just don't like them or know what it is doing and so to be safe give you a warning.
Title: Re: Profile lockdown! Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on November 10, 2009, 10:01:03 PM Pm's being accessed? When was this flipper? ???
Title: Re: Profile lockdown! Post by: betel23 on November 10, 2009, 10:29:05 PM There are some really excellent "Antivirus" out there and some are free to the home user.
Here's one of the better ones http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html (http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html) Select your language on the above link / download / register and Avast will send to a keycode to activate it for free with daily updates to the antivirus library it uses. Title: Re: Profile lockdown! Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on November 10, 2009, 11:11:05 PM Profiles are unaccessible for the moment as recently, access to profiles were used contrary to the forum (In fact any forum's rules.)
As far as forum security goes theres nothing to worry about -- the only information accessable was information members have allowed to be viewed. i.e E mail address and then only if you've allowed this in your settings. Its how this information was used is whats not acceptable and has resulted in a number of complaints to Geoff. Whilst this is being looked into if you want to pm click on "messages" (its below the big E in detecting on the heading above.) Click on new type in members name and carry on as normal. Title: Re: Profile lockdown! Post by: 150aceboy on November 11, 2009, 12:35:10 PM Cheers for the info Rob, tried it and all's fine, seems to be a better way of PM' ing as well, thanks Rob.
