trvlgirlmq Posted June 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The last 2 days whenever I try to use the boards my virus protection is catching malware threats. Then my computer closes the connection to the boards. It doesn't happen when I open the main CC page only when I try to access the boards. I'm using my work computer now and hope I am not infecting it! I've done all the clean ups I can think of but am a bit afraid to try to get back on at home. Can't afford a new computer right now.

CRUISE4JANE Posted June 20, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I haven't had any issues. I don't know what security you have. I have McAfee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincicruiser Posted June 20, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yes, for 2 days now. I have avast. If i click on message boards malware warnings then blank page. I had to back into the message boards by going to editor reviews first, member reviews, then message boards. Sure wish someone at cruise critic would work on this.

golfadj Posted June 20, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I havent seen it but guess not a bad idea to do a scan now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltsandknit Posted June 20, 2012 #8 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I have this problem also. I can only access the forums on my phone. I tried different browsers to no avail. Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauraoel Posted June 20, 2012 #9 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Cruise Critic knows about it... seems to only be people who use AVAST anti-virus. AVAST knows about it as well they are trying to get it resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeymuffin Posted June 20, 2012 #11 Share Posted June 20, 2012 my avast caught it too. Got a little concerned but being so close to my cruise I went on my moms tablet:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDoug Posted June 20, 2012 #12 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I looks like the offending code has been removed. Avast will now allow access to the boards.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was, I added an exception to my anti virus software that fixed the issue. I think that there is a definition that was recently updated that is in error. What AVS are you using?

Mom2JJandJ Posted June 20, 2012 #19 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Posted this yesterday... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1655740 Try doing a forced virus definitions update and it should resolve itself. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flick Posted June 20, 2012 #20 Share Posted June 20, 2012 My Avast blocked it all day yesterday and this morning. It was only on this site and I couldn't access anything on Cruise Critic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacepotatoes Posted June 20, 2012 #21 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I also had issues with Avast. I googled the error last night and it seems to happen every so often when something gets updated and it creates a bug. All seems to be back to normal now.

italianfemmy Posted June 20, 2012 #22 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Cruise Critic knows about it... seems to only be people who use AVAST anti-virus. AVAST knows about it as well they are trying to get it resolved. I use Kaspersky which catches everything and it's been showing me these Malware issues for a couple of months now on certain pages of posts on here. My virus software recognizes it as an Http:// problem and blocks the problem while still letting me view the site. But, it's a pain in the rear.

Administrators Rare LauraS Posted June 20, 2012 Administrators #23 Share Posted June 20, 2012 We've cleared up the issue re: Avast users getting warning notifications. If you still get any, please let me know via email. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted June 20, 2012 #24 Share Posted June 20, 2012 all of these warning is caused by the AD's found on the site, it is something that cruisecritic dont have control over that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
