Trojan warning

Pixero

I get this warning from Bitdefender that Sketchucation forum contains JSTrojan Cryxos 2081 and the page has been blocked.

Must be a false positive.

Would be good if one admin could report the false positive to Bitdefender as I can’t access Sketchucation from my work pc anymore.

Is the problem still exists? I use bitdefender as well and it happened before that because of an errorous upgrade to bitdefender I got such a false indication. But the problem was fixed as soon as I manually force updated bitdefender. Have you tried this?

Problem is always existing!
I can post here because I trust on you and go aways the advice of my Bitfender !

PS Yes now not message after pass away and come back to the forum!
Can we say that completly safe ?

pilou

ALas always persisting!

Gábor

My I ask the time of your last update of Bitdefender? (At the notifications section of bitdefender you can see the time of the last update)

Gábor

Anyhow I've reported Bitdefender customer care the issue and waiting for their answer.

pilou

This time seems the problem is resolved!

2 days without to connect SketchUcation was a little disaster!

I have a virus intercept and the virus does exist and is quarantined.
Multiple attacks.
Only on this forum.?

Gábor

I've scanned the server with several malware scanners and none of them find any malicious code.

I keep an eye on things but until now I haven't find any indication on our side of any malware.

@dtrarch: Could you please tell in detail which virus scanner reported the problem to you? Which page of the sketchucation site did you browse when it happened?

As the anti-virus was appeared as soon the Forum https://sketchucation.com/forums you don't think that the "malicious" could't be on one of the numerous Publicities ?

Do you refer to the site ads as "Publicities"? For the ads we use a 3rd party ad provider (BySellAds). In theory it is possible that if their server was infected it had an effect on us as well. But they are a very well established and maintained ad providing service so I doubt if it was a problem on their side.
