trojan download

[CouesWhitetail]

Site seems to be working much faster now and I am getting fewer notices of redirects.....looks like we are making progress slowly....We are also changing several things to avoid this problem in the future....please bear with us for awhile as they complete another scan of the site

Still Hacked. Sorry Amanda, I'm still getting the redirects. I love this site, but every time I come here now my computer goes nuts. I've installed the malware software you recommended, but it fails to address the problem. Even typing is slow. I hit the site from my iPad and had to reset my routers. Even as I type this, I see the worm redirecting - I want to come back on to the forum, but I can't expose my computers to whatever is happening.

I hired a security company to look into it. They say they have removed all malicious code, but then I have heard that from the two other tech support depts I worked with....I am no longer getting any redirects and the site is very speedy for me. It had been really slow and that malwarebytes was showing that it blocked redirects. But I am not yet completely sure all the problems are gone. We are still working on it. Just for your peice of mind, it appears that the malware doesn't download onto users computers, but it seems to just aim to redirect people from here some russian websites.

 

Like I said before, you can always just take a break from he forum for few days. I will mass email the forum when it's cleared up.

I loaded Trend Micro on my other laptop today (Nortons Expired) and I am not having any problems at all getting on nor is it indicating any attacks. I am running Windows 7 on it. I am using W8 on my other one with Bitdefender and have not seen any indication of the trojan on it either.

For those that want to avoid the forum for awhile but still get your coues fix, you can always visit the main coueshitetail.com home page (no malware there) and you can check out several recently submitted bucks and also use the search tags to look at bucks from different units and with different scores. And then there is also CouesWhitetail.com on facebook.

I have not had any redirects. I did notice things were really slow for a while. I use Trendmicro as well.

It appears the site is clear of infection now.....please clear your browser cache to make sure you are not loading an older page. And we shall keep monitoring the site. I no longer get anything strange showing up. The site loads very fast for me now and no redirects seem to be happening. For those that have been experiencing issues, clear your cache and then after you visit the site, let me know how it goes. If you still don't want to take a chance, that's fine, you can just wait longer. It's certainly possible that we could get reinfected, but I have added several new security measures, and if we have truly removed everything, then hopefully we won't see a reinfection.

I got nothing when I logged on now. It is the first time in awhile this has happened.

 

Malwarebytes free has no active protection. It is an on demand program. If you want to upgrade to the paid version it is one of the best out there in protecting your computer. I run Kaspersky and Malwarebytes Pro together with no problems at all after setting exclusions. It is a great program.

[CouesWhitetail]

Thanks for the updates.

 

Also, there is a free scanner you can use to check the site before you come here if you like. This is the security company that finally seems to have been able to clear the infection. If you go to sucuri.net, you will see a box for "scan your website for free" and you can type in coueswhitetail.com/forums to check and see if the forum is clean. You can also type in coueswhitetail.com to check the nonforum part of the site. Both show as clean and previously the forum showed several files that were redirecting people.

 

sorry for the problems everyone. I do try and keep everything as secure as possible, but sometimes it seems impossbile to stop hackers.

 

let's keep our fingers crossed!

[Coach]

Amanda, I commend you on your diligence. Looks like it's getting cleared up.

[Coach]

Whoever you hired - what they did fixed the problem. Nicely done, and thank you.
