FFXIAH - AVG / Spybot

[Anesti]

A couple of members have stated since yesterday (dec 25th) that their spybot/avg has gone off when visiting FFXIAH.com.

Can anyone else confirm this?

I haven't gone since they said it picked something up, although they didn't say what.

My stuff hasn't gone on off either BG or FFXIAH

[Nymphadora]

I'm using avast and it hasn't picked up anything lately.

[_chuchu]

Nothing here either with Avast

[Zidiane]

I've not found anything from XI.Ah at all and i've been using ffxiah everyday pretty much.

[fishstix]

do they use firefox/noscript?

[Anesti]

The first person that said something had shown up was in IE 6.

Not sure what the second person was using. -.-

Hopefully it's nothing, but you can never be too safe with new mules every day spamming websites that people are smart enough to avoid.

Same shit every day.

If you're still using Internet Explorer, you pretty much deserve to get hacked.

What do you mean by "gone off" ? The programs were removed from being active? The programs screamed and threw a tantrum? The programs indicated a trojan was being installed on your computer?

Using Firefox, noscript. AVG and super anti spyware and nothing has gone off

[Hellfury]

Firefox w. NoScript&Adblock + F-Secury Internet Security, nada

uh huh...
Because it would be too easy to help said people by explaining the potential risks of using IE?

For anyone who doesn't know, rather than use IE you're more secure with Firefox
Also, please make sure to download Noscript. Some new users may find it annoying, but you'll get used to it eventually, and because many web based attacks are done through scripting, you'll be a lot more secure.

Don't get me wrong, I love Microsoft, if it weren't for them breaking shit no one in IT would have had a job in the last 10+ years, but Mozilla just makes the better browser.

Anyway, Firefox, Noscript, and AVG, nothing here.

Oh, and while the subject is up, any Google Chrome users out there? Kinda interested in how secure it is.

not really so much internet toughguy, as internets commonsense guy

Hey guys, it seems like RMT are up to their old tricks again. My computer detected a backdoor trojan that was downloaded onto my PC called modzlib.dll. I removed it from the registry and deleted the keylogger from ~\windows\system32. I hope none of you guys got this trojan silently.

already suggested he use firefox/add blocker plus/no script.
so it's a moot point.

Just wanted to share this with people tho in case others still have not used the above.

I use Chrome and I've never had any flags come up.

[DAKPluto]

google Chrome would not be subject to any of the IE problems that arise, but without Noscript/Adblock etc. of Firefox, you would still be subject to stuff like flash exploits.

Considering the person is still using IE6, it's absolutely justified. No need to go full retard.
