For some days now I have been getting reports of a phishing site "gumblar.cn" from Kaspersky
Internet Security when I open the Plakias site.
Has anyone any comments?

I got exactly the same with same software in use. I reported to Paul, site administrator and he took the site down a few days ago to clear it. My software says all ok now. It appears that some virus software programs did not spot it ??

Hi Robin,

Yes unfortunately this particular trojan is becoming a bit of a nuisance. It no longer affects our site.

There is plenty of stuff on Google if you want to read further.

Hi Paul
Thankyou for your reply

I am still getting the message from Kaspersky regarding "gumblar.cn/rss/?id=5818702"
You say that our site is no longer affected so does this mean that I have a problem on my computer?

The Plakias site is the only site that it comes up on.

I am not very literate as far as problems like this are concerned so your help would be appreciated.

Hi Paul

The warning from Kaspersky has disappeared this morning.

The site is now very slow to open

Hi Robin,

Don't think it will have affected your PC, Kapersky should have protected you.
Maybe worth running a system scan.

Maybe you were referencing cached files which is why the warning wasn't going away until your browser downloaded fresh files today.

Cheers,

Heather,

I agree with you. I had the same problems.


Firefox sent me the German Version:

Als attackierend gemeldete Website!  
Die Website auf forums.plakias.co.uk wurde als attackierende Seite gemeldet und auf Grund Ihrer Sicherheitseinstellungen blockiert.      
Attackierende Websites versuchen, Programme zu installieren, die private Informationen stehlen, Ihren Computer verwenden, um andere zu attackieren oder Ihr System beschädigen.
Manche Websites vertreiben bewusst Viren und ähnlich schädliche Software, aber viele Websites sind auch ohne das Wissen oder die Erlaubnis des Betreibers kompromittiert.

Shortly translated: A attacked registered web-site.

I am working with the newest Firefox version: 3.0.10

Hi Kerstin.

Thankyou for telling me that, I am not so worried now. I cannot upgrade to 3.0.10 as I am still using windows 98 and it will not support a Firefox upgrade.

Maybe next year I should get a decent computer and stop going on holiday.  Well,maybe not.

Hi Paul

The Kaspersky warnings are back again this morning.
"gumblar.cn/rss/?id=5818702" is still the message.

I have carried out a full system scanwhich detected nothing.

i'm getting the same warnings as well now

Hi Guys,

The whole 'Attack Site' thing is a Firefox feature in conjunction with Google.

We did have an issue with the the Gumblar thing on the 8th/9th. Not sure why Google is reporting on the 16th.

As far as I am aware the site is OK. I have asked Google to review this and 'whitelist' the site. Not sure how long this will take.

I've done what I can and two different system scans have detected nothing but obviously the decision is yours.

Thanks,

Paul

Looks like we are ok now:
