Not me,either.
Whoever it is, I'll send you the $19.95 for his double DVD on Horitzontal Tube Dipping. You don't have to hack into his computer! It's well worth it to me so Bojon will continue to post!

bojon,
Don't play around with this. Either PM or Email Jerry (aka: redg8r) ASAP with all the details that McAfee entered into the log. If this was an attempted hack, I believe it is a Federal Crime.

Re: Is there a security issue with someone from TU hacking my PC?
There shouldnt be any problems with vb espeially the new version. what happens is that norton and Mcaffee has certain scripts and certain words they look for and if those scripts match they will pop up an alert. pop up ads are one of those things and so are cookies. just set your settings a tad lower, did you just install a new version of Mcaffee? or windows maybe a new version of your browser? usually that is why its noticeable now and not before. Also some hacks that are used in a forum for making things avail to users will pop-up a alert sometimes.
Norton is absolute junk when on a forum mcaffee usually isnt that bad.
one thing you never do is use the same pw on a forum that you would use on your online checking or personal stuff.
Forums get hacked all the time they are easy to hack for a hacker but unless you DOWNLOAD something your security is not at risk. Like download something from a new user or even play a video that is from someone that you don't know.

Hi Ron,
Please send an email with any information given by McAfee, pertaining to TU. Email to tu@tackleunderground.com.
McAfee checks TU daily for suspicious behavior & they give us a clean bill of health, you can check here for yourself:

Re: Is there a security issue with someone from TU hacking my PC?
Hi Ron,
Yes, please take note of any further warnings & pass it along directly to me.
There is an optional user setting to have TU issue a "popup" notification that you have a new private message, that may or may not be what McAfee is flagging. That is the only popup TU issues other than the automated chatroom login.
Regardless, I would like to see any information you could provide.
All the best.

Re: Is there a security issue with someone from TU hacking my PC?
I just joined, but got a warning before and after joining. Each time a page was opened I got the warning. The information was blocked so I just closed the warning and continured as I can work around it. Today, I got no warnings. I thought this was strange and was wondering if the information had been extracted and that is why or I did I get a trojan? Well, now, aafter stumbling onto this information it is time for full scans.
I use Trend Mirco, PC-cillin
It stated the site was trying to access my phone numbers, my software is pretty good in stating what exactly in detail is going on. It is a new Dell with MS Win Vista Home Premium and the Trend program is under subscribtion being it is new.
If I get it again I will screen shot it to you. I think it maybe a cookie that is causing it.

Thanks for the information, but I don't understand.
Phone numbers?
How does your computer store your phone numbers? are you on dialup?
TU does not collect, nor require a phone number to join.
Our partners at Hagen's require a phone number in exchange for their catalog, other than that we do not collect phone numbers.
If you don't mind, please run the scan again & copy me the information to tu@tackleunderground.com
Thanks again. |
