BW Blog Virus?!

Postby FirstRateCustoms » Fri Apr 20, 2012 3:38 pm

I went to the blog just now and saw this...

Thought I'd let you know...
Why bother to read this? It appears at the end of every post I make, so I'm sure it gets boring. :lol:

Thanks for the heads up. I checked to see if we had a virus or anything and it looks like it's clean...the only thing I noticed that might have been causing problems was that our version of the blog wasn't completely up to date. I updated it now, so hopefully that will get rid of whatever problem you were having.

I'll keep this thread open in case there anyone else gets this error and wants to report it here...

Sorry to necropost on this, but for some reason it's giving me this same thing but when I attempt to visit the main page. I looked at the diagnostics, and it appears the social networking icons are the culprit. (If Google's warning is accurate) I can post a screencap if you like.

Social neetworking like facebook? I knew nothing good could come out of being addicted to looking at other peoples status! but invading the internet things I do care for? This has gone TOO far.

Thanks for pointing that out. I had my hosting provider scan the website to remove the malicious code and now google is reviewing it to make sure it is safe.

Great. I'm not getting the message anymore either. I scanned my computer last night, and didn't find anything thankfully.

Glad to hear it didn't put any viruses on your computer.

The problem appears to be resolved now, but I'll keep this thread open in case anyone else notices anything strange.

There are some errors that appear. Every site has them. Most of them are over in a few minutes.

Yup, I got a notification today from Google that they found malware on the blog. I'm at a days inn right now coming back from Brickfete, but when I get home tomorrow fixing the blog is at the top of my list. For now, just stay away from the blog...the rest of the site is nice and clean. :)

Quick update:

The malware has been removed from the blog so it should be safe to view. Google will still display the warning for a little while (maybe a day or two) until we tell them that everything is fixed and they scan the website to confirm that it is indeed safe.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll scan those as well and then tell google to remove the warning.

Quick update:

The blog is now clean and google has removed the malware warning. We also updated the blog and took a few other steps to prevent this from happening again.

Sorry about that!

As always, this thread will be kept open for any future reports.
