Tenkani...I really don't know. I found the original virus in the Canadian hockey thread. Then I started a new thread with the word Virus in it.

I've said on many occasions that I am computer illiterate and it's true. So I don't even know what's possible and what's not. I don't know how someone can just insert whatever virus he inserted into any thread, completely undetected, and then have whoever started the thread get banned. This is way over my head. I don't even really care about the banning either. This whole thing is just f*cked. And this dude is still out there, so I don't want to go back anyway. It's just like being framed or something though. I'm just confused. I don't know what happened.

help

Oh, I see what you're saying now Tenkani. They could have found out who injected the bomb into the thread had they not deleted it...again, I don't know anything, but that sounds plausible.

However, that "Go Canada Go" thread was still there, last I saw...maybe there's a chance it's still infected. Not sure if anybody else was having problems with that one or not.

help

Also, just in case anybody is wondering, because somebody mentioned that they didn't see what it was called because they were too busy deleting...

Avast! identified it as:
n*ggers(dot)on(dot)nimp(dot)org

I googled it and found this description :

[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]Notice from TinyURL admin: This URL opens a lot of windows with reportedly "distasteful" pictures and has audio saying "Hey everybody, I'm looking at gay porno." It may also crash your browser/computer.

Not sure if that's what everybody was experiencing, but it sounds like it was pretty similar.

Help. Yes, it's still happening over there.[/DIV]The perpetrator is a twisted little deviant called "naughty priest".[/DIV]I'm guessing from the handle and other character traits that he's a pedophile, but that's neither here nor there. I understand that your tech knowledge isn't too developed. Don't sweat it. There are plenty of propeller heads around if you have any questions. As far as being banned, it looks like for whatever reason Naughty Priest was trying, and succeeded, to frame you. Considering all the damage and chaos that bomb created, I think the confusion on the part of whoever banned you is understandable. I know you said you don't want to go back, but if you change your mind I think it's possible to unban somebody if it turns out to have been a mistake.

Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life

Happened to me upon opening two different threads on DV. Both times closed out all applications and started again and it was ok. But no more DV for me!!!!!

help

Still happening, eh? Okay, well I'm actually glad in a way...hopefully now they can actually do something to correct it. I've been here the entire time. And I'm not at all surprised that it's Naughty Priest - not the first time we've seen this. Yeah, I guess anybody could've made the mistake and thought it was me though. I don't have any hard feelings. This whole afternoon just threw me for a loop.

As long as my computer isn't infected with anything and none of my personal info was made available through IP stuff...I'll be happy. Anyways, I'm doing a deep virus scan right now, so my browser is a little slow right now, so I'm going to go offline for awhile and I'll check back later tonight.

Thanks for listening and believing me tenkani.

Edited for clarification....

I've read the comments here and also in several of the threads on DV. To prevent a similar attack here I've activated censoring on a few specific words.

The word  "n i g g e r" (without the spaces) will be changed to "n*gger". If you're the kind of person that just has to type that word, it'll be changed. (This is because the site that people were forwarded to had that word in the domain name.)

The HTML tag for "HTTP-E Q U I V" (again, without the spaces) will be automagically mangled so as not to work.

It'spossible that someone could find a way around this, but not for long. I'll be adding a few more terms to (hopefully) make it much more difficult to pull this kind of crap.
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Haven't been around DV... just read the latest update from you guys. Then I checked DV and got hit by the stupid porn pop-ups. Had to shut down computer. Found virus on "I love China" thread.

What an asswipe. I hope they get this loser.

didnt anybody's anti virus catch it. i clicked on that virus link and my anti virus popped up and let me 'remove' it and closed my browser down before any damage was done. i ran my anti virus just incase and rebooted a few times just to be sure and it looks like i got off easy.

i use avast for my anti virus, which is free. i prefer this over avg anti virus. i have a pretty big host file that has alot of sites that points to my localhost so that might also help for future reference.

Well, color me stupid. I went browsing on DV again to see if there was anything new, and page 2 of one of the threads nailed me. Doh.

FireFox kept it from opening a zillion windows but it did manage to open Outlook Express and start sending emails....

hey TehBorken,

is there anything on this forum that will prevent something like that happening here?

I think so, but I can't guarantee it. The HTTP forwarding trick shouldn't work here, and even if it does I don't think it'll be able to go that site. The site has the word "n***er" in it, and when I post this it should 'censor' it by swapping the "i" with a "*".  

I think it's pretty safe here, but time will tell.

Sssssh... kingy!! Don't let the troll hear you!!!!

Page 2 of DV..... I'm almost afraid to go there. I've deleted one horrible thread... you  mean to tell me there's more???!!?!?!
