Oh thank the universe.....

Yeah, I just got bombarded with a shit ton of viruses and spyware from thanagar which avast didn't manage to stop. I ended up with a virus that specifically targeted Malwarebytes and deleted the mbam.exe file. Luckily it was stupid enough that I just had to copy the file from another computer, re-name it and reload it onto mine via flash drive.

Anyway, after four hours of trying to work that out, though it pains me to say it, I won't be going back to thanagar. They should really move it to a better host site with less shady advertisers.

The same thing happened to me. I can't get that rename thing to work though.

How do you know if you have the virus? I only run avast and avira and neither of them are saying I have a virus, but I was on Thanagar earlier today.

If they stop working then you probably have it. I had another antivirus program that got fucked up right before the malwarebytes one so I don't think it just attacks that one.

So, try running a standard scan and if the scan stops then I probably have it? That rerally sucks. I'll try running both my anti-virus programs, hopefully I don't have it.

Also, why doesn't V set up a forum on a site like we have? We never have those kind of problems with viruses and shit.

Same shit happened to me.....

I'm sorry everyone. idk what to tell you. I'll talk to V but odds are he won't do shit.

I'm just gonna say this once because I don't get to very often: I have a Mac. Suck it.

lol same

what the hell is with that Thanagar site? Theres no way to register for the site. EVery time I try to click on it, it just links me to an IBM website.

I've never really ahd a problem with the site until fairly recently... I wish V would just pick a forum host with no spammy mcspam spam.

Still, he's done it before, and still. we get viruses....I was talking to Osirus yesterday, and we both brought up the fact that he should move the site to where the ARA is....Not the ARA, but the same host.....


Or at least, get Raz over here permanately to post....

Yeah that needs to happen I'm not going back only to have my computer fucked up again.

that sucks. Oh well, Thems the breaks.

We do really need Raziel to post over here.. I think he's probably the best OQL-type poster EVER. He posts stuff I didn't even know was out.. If it wasn't for that guy I probably wouldn't be up on half of comic's current events. Did anyone else from there get their comps fucked up? I don't really talk to any of the Thanagar-only members outside of the site.

Hey can someone who is still risking going to Thanagar tell me the names of the sections and V's email. I started a new Thanagar on the site that hosts the ARA. He can either use it or not or change it but I remember him saying when he created the current version that he didn't want to have to start a new one because he's done it so many times before. So I figured I would give him a hand since he's a busy guy and I had the time and he didn't seem all that worried about the virus' when people were complaining about them. I want to get the sections set up so that it's finished when I hand over the Admin to him.

How does this site make money? I've never seen Ads here. Y'know, except for Zebra Cakes.

Also V did something...he asked if anyone who logged in today had any problems...I havnt had any pop ups or spyware/virus alerts today...anyone else?

From V "yeah i deleted almost all of the spam accounts, let me know as soon as any spyware/virus alerts are popping up. Also it seems like the main host, makeforums, is attacked with spam bots sigh. i painstakingly deleted all spambots. if anyone got infected, i apologize. it seems like a lot of mybb3 forums are being hit."

The site seems cleaned up. I did a scan on my comp while on the site..lowered my security settings and no probs, so looks clean for the time being.

Well I'm still not going to risk it, it took me days to get my computer back to normal and I had to finally do a restore of Windows.

I sent you a PM with the link.
