Follow Up to Yesterday | | The help files and FAQ have been fixed.
If you notice something out of the ordinary or something similar to yesterday's events please contact me via PT or post it in our discussion thread on Site Support.
Some recommendations
- Its important to have some sort of virus scanner installed. Macs and Linux PCs are not immune to getting a virus, they are just less likely targets and are less vulnerable.
- Always make sure your virus detection files are up to date.
- Make sure that your virus protection is turned on and running.
Virus Scanning Software
Norton Anti-Virus
MacAfee Anti-Virus
AVG - Free
Avast! - Free
ClamXav - Free - Mac OS X Only
Internet Explorer alternatives
Firefox
Opera
Safari
As in the previous announcement. Please keep all discussions in this thread on Site Support. If you have any tips or other advice for your fellow ACC members regarding this incident please join us there.
Thanks. | | | | 4/3/2008 7:42:21 PM
Issues Earlier Today | | Earlier today ACC was experiencing some strange things on the boards. We are not completely certain what happened but somehow a virus/trojan infected the server. We have identified one possible culprit. The trojan/worm is called VBS.Chu.A@mm. This is the info that Symantec has on it.
VBS.Chu.A@mm Removal
Its possible that this virus was transfered from the server out to some people's computers. Not everyone was affected. It seems to have only affected those using Internet Explorer. It was using an exploit in Internet Explorer's Active X feature to load in the files. To be on the safe side its a good idea to update your virus detection files and run a thorough scan.
If you do not have a virus scanner, you can download a free one from GriSoft - AVG. There are other online tools to try out as well like Trend Micro's Housecall.
EDIT: The issue with the help files has now been resolved.
Thanks.

Flood Control - Active | | In another effort to help combat the spam problem we have set up a flood control on the boards. If you try to post too many threads or posts on the boards this is the message that you will get:
We're sorry, but members are only allowed to post new threads once every 60 seconds, and new posts once every 5 seconds.
We may tweak these settings but for now those are what we have it set at; 60 seconds between threads and 5 seconds between posts.
Thanks to all who were involved in the discussions.
If you have any questions please ask in this thread on Site Support. | |
