Hi

It's not getting better!

I've made a mail subscription to this topic, to keep up whats happening.

Now I can tell that mail from this forum (topic) get blocked within my mailproviders virusscanner! Here is the message I got in my mailbox.

Subject
Topic reply: VBS/Psyme When Entering Joomla Forum

Information: An email message was blocked.
Reason: The virus scanner at Loopia AB detected a virus infected attachment in the message.
Virus: Exploit.MS05-001.gen

To much now! This is really not good!  I don't think this is a GoogleAds thing, it's mail infected with virus, posted direct to me from here!

Facts:
Mailprovider http://www.loopia.se
Windows XP
Microsoft Outlook 2003

Please look into the security asap?

regards

You most likely got that warning because I posted the malicious code delivered by the website in my posting here in the topic. And since the posting gets attached to the notification mailing, it might fire off certain mail scanners. Your "virus infected mail" has nothing to do with any problems the forum might or might not have.

Ok  ;D

Thanks. That sounds very likely. But still the mail gets stuck detekted as a virus? Virusoftware might block all mail comming from this adress.

I don't like such mail messages (even if its like u say). I even don't like getting warned when entering this forum (not this time:-) ). I just whant to "surf" safe and also provide a safe CMS and Forum for my community.  :P


That's to many messages and strange things happening and one must not ignore them. I think this is a security issue... :o


regards

I thinks is is rather those dull antivirus programs who led to mistakes, saying You got virus.
