Virus onthe Wizard site again. Beware!

[royfan]

AVG detects a virus everytime I go to the Wizard site today. Just giving a heads up to those who haven't visited the site yet.

Someday I'll actually visit their site!

[curiouswanderer]

I've been there and Norton didn't register anything. Wonder if that means your AVG is acting up or my Norton is...hhhmmmm

Thats a worry. AVG doesn't detect a virus on any other sight I go to, just this one.

**Edit**

My brother just tried going to the site on his desktop comp, comes up with a virus warning as well.

I even just ran a scan and got nada. You might want to see about getting an update or report the problem to AVG.


what does it use for virus protection?

Not sure what he's using, he has two different ones (one of them is Norton's, but I'm not sure that's the one that detected it when he went to the site, it's possible his other one is AVG as well, I'll ask him when he gets back, he's just gone to the Bottle-o)

My AVG was just updated this morning, so it won't be updates that are the problem, I will sent a message to AVG though.

I too just got an error from mine. Virus detected on Wizarduniverse.com

On my Mac, the virus merely downloads as a harmless file called sa.aspx apparently. I've gone to websites with viruses on my Mac before, but that's never happened.

The site said I needed a chinese language pack for some reason when I was on there earlier today.

[Ed Garland]

My PC-cillin detected virus on their website too. What's going on there?

Best,

Don't know what's happening... but this has been going on for quite some time now on the Wizard site.

It may not be a virus, perhaps the site is coded ina away it ehibits "virus like" activity that triggers your AV proggy. Similar to the way steam from a shower could trigger older model smoke detectors.

Could be, but they need to fix that, who really wants to go there and take the chance? Besides I've been there before and it never triggered it, shouldn't it do it everytime? Not just every now and then for a week or so?

I got something on my home pc last weekend, My AV picked it up.

The only site I looked at, beyond here and the BBC News website, was Wizard's...
