Blackhole Exploit Kit (type2160) threat

Post by flipflopdog »

Has anyone else had one of these threats blocked by their virus protection system that was highlighted as coming through ABR...???? I’m no IT wizzard but when you goggle this reference it comes up as quite a nasty threat specifically coming from Russia. I will be logging out each time from now on but then I’m probably being a tad paranoid ...???!!!!! Any advice anyone..???

Yes, I had it this morning on one puter but not the other. Try deleting your shortcut and cookies then saving another shortcut after a new log in. :)

I've had the same threat blocked by my antivirus software, I know I'm probably preaching to the quire, but allot of people have all the anti mal and virus software on their PC and nothing on their smart phone :unsure:

Not sure if this is relevant, but the whole way the website presents itself has now changed.

The Private Message box was displayed on the right. Its now on the left

The "margins" seem to have changed as on the "recent topics" page the list is now very wide....

Could some guru give us some guidance.

FYI I have checked this accessing via Mozilla & IE :unsure:

Thanks to all who have posted up here, called the office and emailed. Much appreciated.

We're looking into this now, should be sorted soon.
