Viruses

[killerfly]

Im getting virus alerts on some providers, VIP stand, Livestreamz so far...AVG warning of a phishing virus..may be others not tried yet

Thanks for letting us know. Is it on streams on one certain platform? eg vShare/Livevdo, Ustream, Castamp etc.

I haven't been getting any warnings. I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows 7.

Has anybody else experienced warnings and what anti-virus is detecting them?

Nope - i'm using MSE as well and all clear. Might be AVG false positive... What browser are you using?

[bazzer]

MSE here also clear I use VIP STAND regular with no probs

I was thinking. vShare/Livevdo is probably shown as phishing as it tries to get your mobile number off you. We have a warning on top of all the schedule pages against entering it.

I use IE8.....AVG say they are phishing which means they see your credit card purchases , I dont get many warnings from AVG...but I suppose there must be a reason...They dont mean the usual data mining stuff but more serious...AVG is a free version and is basic protection

I'm pretty sure that the warning is being caused by vShare/Livevdo trying to get you to enter your mobile number. As mentioned before, we warn people not to fill it in as it may leave you open to spam, cold calling and even your voice mails getting intercepted.

Again. Thanks for bringing it to our attention and we'll keep an eye on the matter.

My new boss gave me his detailed opinion on how I should build our company website. He showed me examples of other sites using AOL.

I will not be taking his advise on board.

Rev. You are from the 'Sexual Independence' school of thought.

When you want their fucking advice, you'll ask for it. :lol:

He also suggested I create a toolbar which downloads automatically when someone visits the site. That way they can search our site from anywhere on the web.

I suggested that invasive adware was probably not the route an environmental charity should be taking.
