Malware Warning
To Visitors of Floatzel.net, VictoryBattles.net, and VictoryRoad.net:
Starting December 3rd, 2010, and lasting somewhere around a week, Google Adsense (our ad provider), as well as MSN's own ad provider, were both attacked with a form of malware that may have affected the Victory Road Network as well a variety of other sites on the internet - including both Google and MSN.com. While we are unaware if any people here at Victory Road were for sure affected, we encourage those with lax security policies, or who have noticed abnormalities over the past week, to check. The attacks themselves use a variety of exploits, including:
The main virus installed is HDD Plus, and more information can be found here at Armorize and here at ComputerWorld. As always, please keep your software as up to date as possible. If you are using Internet Explorer, please use at least version 8. Adobe Flash and Acrobat should also be at their latest versions (10.1 and 9.4 respectively). Thank You, FreezeWarp, Victory Road Administrator Last edited by FreezeWarp; December 14, 2010 at 01:17:34 PM. |

I doubt it, I know Chrome users can get it too, considering Lux got it and she uses Chrome...don't know what Mag has and he got it also...

So, unless my quick skim and scan of both those links for the HDD scan failed me, I'm still wondering: How do I get rid of it?
It's not working anymore, I put a stop to it but it's still installed on my computer. I mean not that I really care that it's there, because it doesn't work anymore, but still... any ideas? And thanks for the info, Freeze. |

I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that I can't click links on WLM anymore as they appear plain text and need to be manually copied... I hate it when M$ does this kinda crap.
More people talking about vulnerabilities. I like that. <3 |

But yeah, I am unaffected by this, and good thing too, since I am mediocre at computer-handling. |

Yeah, i've noticed quite a bit of messages for stuff like that on Steam lately. I was talking about blocking SoT's e-mail just so that he would stop being spammed, but that is correct. Be sure to read a link before you go to it and have to log in. Something like http://webmail.aol.com is fine, however, http://weebmailaol.tk is obviously not.

No. That has nothing to do with the problem Freeze mentioned. I know that it is slightly off-topic, but all those who are in the forums and have Shadow's email, then you guys need to know that his computer is packed with viruses and is sending emails to everyone. When I received an email from him, it got immediately forwarded to you Kaz.
