The other Ohio forum has a problem

Post by AlanM »

My anti-virus software isn't allowing me to post on the other Ohio gun forum because it says the following:

Download blocked

object name
Trojan.Script.Agent.bg

Object
Https;//forums.buckeyefirearms.org/js/channnel-rolluup-545.js

Application
Google Chrome

Object type
Trojan program

Time
Today, 9/27/2019 09:42

****************************
Would someone that CAN contact them let them know they have a problem.
I trust my anti-virus software to be correct.
You might want to be aware of this also.

Don't feel too bad, I posted over 12 hours ago and it still shows "Unapproved". The post isn't complimentary to BFA, so I won't be surprised if it never gets approved.

The forum software they use, vBulletin, has a major security hole.

I was an administrator there who stayed very busy kicking out 'bots, until one day I accidentally banned myself. Was upset with myself for all of about a minute.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

I have NO idea how my OP for this thread got duplicated one minute after I started this one.

I can't post on that site because of my AV software.
Has someone told them about their problem?

I'd have to rejoin, if the software would even let me. There are others who are members of both sites, and active enough here to have read this thread. So, I'm sure they know about it.

I am unable to post a topic over there even though I am logged in.

I researched the warnings that Kaspersky is giving me and the file that the site is trying to get my computer to download is called Trojan.Script.Agent.bg.

Researchers Report On Trojan.Script.Agent.bg
Trojan.Script.Agent.bg is another vicious and notorious Trojan infection designed and created by the group of cyber criminals with evil intention. It has been detected to affect wide range of Windows PC in just short period of time. Doesn’t matter which system you are using because it is capable to target all System executing on Windows based Operating System including Windows Server, Vista, ME, XP, NT, Vista, 7, 8/8.1 and the latest version Windows 10. This type of malware often enters inside the PC silently and mask itself as normal or legitimate files but in reality created by hackers to cheat innocent users.

Would someone PLEASE make BFA aware of this and get them to, at least, acknowledge on the forum that AV software is triggering on it on their site?

Also, if you have been visiting that site you should probably check this out and possible do what they say.
