I think the arcade has an issue.

Well, two times now, one of the arcade games, Fishy, has caused my antivirus to say there is a malicious URL. One of these instances tried to install a Trojan on my computer continuously until I shut it off. Is there a reason for that arcade game to do that?

No there is nothing on fishy that would cause that what AV are you using?

Also did you have other sites open at the time?

If you can upload any form of log from your av and send it to me that would also help but I see nothing wrong with the arcade. Most likely a coincidence.

Maybe, I wasn't having any other windows open, but I am using kaspersky, maybe it's something else.

Maybe it was from earlier and the threat wasn't detected until you went to the arcade.

Dragoon · #5 06-13-2012, 10:15 PM

Well, it was specifically a malicious url. The url itself is rather strange, as it has no www. and the place where .com is, is replaced with .ru

That... just means that it's Russian...

Dragoon · #7 06-13-2012, 10:27 PM

Wasn't there an attack on the site by Russian hackers?

GameMasterGuy · #8 06-13-2012, 10:31 PM

...when?

Dragoon · #9 06-13-2012, 10:34 PM

Umm, I think I remember a conversation with TS about it, but it has been a while.

GameMasterGuy · #10 06-13-2012, 10:38 PM

The only time I remember a hacker was back when he had to restart the forums themselves, causing the site we know today. The old one was wiped, not a trace of it left. Alpha deleted, end of story.

Kaspersky, is very, very good and I would be thinking something else is the problem and that it has nothing to do with us.

I ran norton's web scan over the page and it reported that it was fine:

http://safeweb.norton.com/report/sho...26gameid%3D121

and also on the sites home page

http://safeweb.norton.com/report/sho...central.com%2F

AVG also reports as safe

http://www.avgthreatlabs.com/siterep...arecentral.com

Something could have been running in the background on your PC and was trying to connect back to a russian site like a keylogger or virus. Kaspersky should fix anything thats wrong maybe do a full system scan using Kaspersky and make sure everything is ok.

If it happens again take a print screen and document what you see happening (is it when the score submits or random play)

But yeah I highly, highly doubt it is anything related to us.

We get russian bots on the site that sometimes post links in blogs or in their signature however most of them are blocked, we have never been attacked by them though and it is highly unlikely that they would bother with a rare fan site that makes no money and holds no user information.

I don't know why it would happen, I did a scan while on safe mode, and it didn't happen after that, although I do know that it was related to Java, if that helps.
