Virus Detected When Browsing The Forum

[tssaravananone 0]

When we try to logout of rimweb.com a virus is automatically trying to infect our computer (Name of the virus : VBS/PSyme). Name defined by AVG antivirus.

And the rimweb.com website is also trying to install a file runsvc32.exe when we login and logout.

Is rimweb.com have spyware. Pls someone explain

Yeah since last three days, I am experiencing the same thing

I am not much aware what it is but it says something about trojan etc...

I click no on that and then exit out...

Two days ago a message appeared on my desktop after I logged out of rimweb, Your Computer is in Danger, there is a spyware etc etc.

Even after restarting the machine, it remained there. I called the IT guy in my company & well, he did something for an hour before handing the machine back to me..

Is it something from rimweb??? I dunno, but if it is then there are people who are trying to harm the members of rimweb

After much investigation, we were finally able to duplicate the virus detection that some members have reported (above) by early morning today. We were working hard to resolve the issue and so the site was inaccessible during day time today for a few hours time. We were able to temporarily fix the problem and we have re-opened the forum now.

I request those members who have received the virus alerts earlier, to check whether the alerts are still popping up or not when browsing (try logging in and out) through RIMweb.com now. Please post your observations here, which will help us in finding more details about the issue. We are still monitoring and doing some tests, and I'll post more information on it as soon as I receive updates from our Server Administrator in the Data Center.

Hi...

Now there is not prob at all

Since the site was not opening yesterday.. I was just worried whether my IP address was blocked

Feels great to be back here again

If this is a case of somebody trying to sabotage the site then just imagine how people are getting jealous by the success of this forum....
