Three days in a row, AVG has indicated threats on MMI

**Trooper Sam** · 10-01-2010, 12:16 PM

For three days, my AVG antivirus program, on two different computers, has been indicating threats present on MMI's homepage when I first come to the site. A picture will be attached to this message.

What the heck is going on?

Internet explorer, that's what's going on. LOL. Try firefox or google chrome and see what happens. Not all active x scripts are bad.

**Trooper Sam** · 10-01-2010, 12:59 PM

Okay...but I figured that the specific ones being indicated by AVG must have been added to their threat database for them to be flagged.

I also have the same problem, I am using NOD32, it keep pop up block ip address 188.265.202.218:8080

That's odd. I never had this problem when I was in Bootcamp. But, I am using FireFox. DON'T USE INTERNET EXPLORER!! It sucks!

**z3r01** · 10-02-2010, 08:56 AM

i never seen this happen to me

**awesomeSlayer** · 10-02-2010, 12:14 PM

It seems like a false positive.

**blkcadi** · 10-02-2010, 12:26 PM

^yuppers, that would be my guess also
Firefox FTW.

**Cody Overcash** · 10-02-2010, 08:04 PM

well that looks annoying, will see if we can figure out where it's coming from

**soulthoughts** · 10-02-2010, 10:45 PM

I wonder if it's detecting the skipwords I've noticed lately.

**JAE** · 10-03-2010, 12:07 AM

No warnings here.

**Trooper Sam** · 10-03-2010, 10:17 AM

Since yesterday, I've noted no more warnings.

**Alvin James** · 10-04-2010, 08:07 AM

I'm still getting warnings as of today, nod32 + chrome + windows 7 64bit.

**ceelo2008** · 10-04-2010, 08:37 AM

i just got my first one today on firefox with kaspersky...

**awesomeSlayer** · 10-04-2010, 05:46 PM

If you guys are having this issue, it might be best to add an exception to that script, but I'm against that idea. Let's see what can Cody or Kyle do.

whoever gets this would you mind providing the "imp history" from the cookie log (found at http://ad.yieldmanager.com/cookie) after you see the error?

WOT (Web of Trust) Firefox add-on finds the link untrustworthy.

**Cody Overcash** · 10-07-2010, 04:56 PM

this is hopefully sorted. post if you continue to experience the issue.

**Trooper Sam** · 10-07-2010, 06:46 PM

Happened again just minutes ago, Cody.

**Trooper Sam** · 10-10-2010, 02:18 PM

I've been noticing lately that upon first arriving at modmyi, the page hangs for up to a minute, and the status bar shows I'm waiting for something from solidduck.ru. Figuring that anything coming from Russia on the web is potentially bad news, I searched and found the following:

Malekal's forum • http://solidduck.ru/home/49ad2996aec215f5acb9fe29110e6e64.ph : Remontées d'infection : fichiers infectieux, liens infectieux etc.

It seems that Trend Micro classifies solidduck as a disease vector.

Cody, is one of your advertisers throwing in something nasty into the mix?
