First off, thanks to everypawdy who hung in there while our server crashed hard yesterday! We are working to permanently resolve this situation, but first, I wanted to do a quick survey to see who has had their antivirus software report us as an attack site? Of course we're not, but for some reason both Norton and AVG are saying nasty things about us.

If your software is badmouthing us ;) please tell us

  • what software you're using (name and version)
  • what operating system you're on
  • and when it happened

We're not sure what we can do about it at this point but just in case it's related to the server crashes of late, we want to double check. Thank you for your patience and help!

My Karpensky Antvirus will sometimes pop up "stopped malicious download from tripawds.com…." when I am reading posts on the forums.

If it happens again I will write it down.

Samson is Spirit Tripawd Daisys four legged "brother" and is the self proclaimed head of the Monkeybutt Federations East Coast Division. Lady Chunky Monkey came to live with him after Daisy went to the bridge in Oct 2011 and then Lady left for the bridge in Apr 2012. Samson is once again a bachelor.

i may have described our experience incorrectly.  while on tripawds, reviewing forums. blogs, etc…. the AVG software on my netbook advised that it had stopped some threats, but it didn't say 'from tripawds', i assumed it might have been coming from other open windows (gmail, google, facebook), but maybe it was coming from here too.  ghost in the machine……..

Antivirus software? What's that? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that would stop me from winning all those lotteries from around the world, right? That's my retirement plan, dude. Not about to rock that boat.

Yep, mine does say I am attacked while on this site.  It says it is highest risk.  I will write down the name and the address when it comes up again.   I use Norton and internet explorer as a search engine.  It has happened 3 times, that my Norton was able to squelch it..  I don't know the times.  But if it comes back again, I will get all the info I can on it.  I don't know what it means though, other than someone was trying to give me more "heebie jeebies".

 

I looked before when Norton asked if I wanted more info and it gave an IP address.  Do you want that too?

Elizabeth,

Just click on Norton and hit the "history".  It will be there.  You can sort by severity by clicking the word, "severity" until the highest comes first.

Just wanted to let you guys know that there's nothing in the site itself that is malicious or endangering your computers, it's just some antivirus settings are confusing our "scripts" (the things that make the header graphic appear, for example), with malware. So please, never fear, there is nothing here that will put your machine at risk. We just want to try to figure out how to fix these scripts so that this doesn't happen.

Jerry's right. We will never let anything happen to our pack.

We appreciate the reports, feel free to share any other warnings. IP addresses are helpful, but our server has not been identified by Norton as an attacker nor facilitator in any submitted so far.

Please advise if you have/had any other websites, RSS readers or email clients open at the same time of any attack.

Thank you for your support.

I got what Elizabeth got.

That is why I said I thought it was just a conflict in advertising script and norton is thinking it's ugly.   

 

I wonder if it's that ad script on the bottom of the forum page because now I am getting advertising banners from places I have visited on the net.   One day the ad banner on the bottom here was the same flowers I purchased from from FTD. Well, today, it's a Southwest Airline ad in which I visited today checking on my mom's flight.

I think it's called behavior targeting ads based on your web browsing history.

 

No worries from our end!
