coinhive.min(1).jss is not safe and being removed by Norton. This is new from GWE and yesterday even more severe warnings kept me out of GWE as a dangerous website. I don't know what is going on with this, but I will not disable my web protection just to participate in one site.
Now more being removed by Norton.

Well I guess I'm not the only one, WTF ! L99 What are we supposed to do with that link? click on it? Don't think so. Being pretty much computer illiterate I don't know what to do with or about warning pop-ups Any ideas?
 
I don’t think it’s anything to be super concerned about daas. They’ve got a bit of a leach issue going on here apparently (just going from the post not what I’ve experienced). You should have some malware/virus software installed on your pc and keep it up to date you should be fine. Malware bytes has always been a good choice for me.
 
Hey 99, I don't even know what a pc is, all I got is this f-cking phone, which I can throw in a real deep river real quick, an want think twice about it . Plus we all high as hell this morning around here, you already got some of my buddies peeking out the Windows.lol
 
Haha. I think your fine. The malware is a mining thing for bitcoin etc. I dont fully understand how that works but I don’t think you need to worry about the fuzz knocking because of it.
 
Thanks, 99, we ain't the smartest around here in tech stuff, matter of fact I get headaches from looking at it.
We like the part where you said no need to worry, I guess its ok to pull the curtains up again now.
 
I thought it might be something like this. The last few days every time I visit the site my fan kicks in and stops when I close the tab. Disappointing that they're using our CPUs to mine bitcoins. I emailed NebulaHaze about it earlier today.
 
I had a similar message come up in my Trend Micro security and was wondering where I'd picked up a nasty from...
 
Howdy, I've gotten warnings yesterday and today about an attempt by a virus called JS/miner. My AVG successfully blocked both attempts. I sent a message to NebulaHaze about it this morning.
 
My mom is 69 I got her an iPhone when my son was born last year so she could do pics video share on Facebook etc. I get at least 3-4 calls a week about something. If I could just get her to stop taking those damn Facebook quizzes.
 
Hey everyone, thanks for pointing this out!

Here's what happened. Someone was able to insert a piece of code into the forum template, and this code follows a current trend of stealing your CPU power to help mine cryptocurrency (like BitCoin). NebulaHaze found the offending code herself and removed it :cool: , but we're still closely monitoring the situation. We now have a professional not only monitoring the site but going through our logs to identify holes so this doesn't happen again.

The truth is, this community is fairly large now and that means we're going to attract some of the wrong sort. But as long as you guys stay patient with us (thanks, by the way) and keep warning us of stuff like this (thanks AGAIN), we'll keep working to keep this place spammer/advertiser/hacker free.
 
I've been getting pop ups, supposedly from Google, warning of a virus and to download malware through a link. I'm too damn paranoid about viruses and I don't trust the pop up. So I closed it. I feel ya 99! My Mother-in-law is like your Mom, only older! But hell, I'm old enough to remember when "pagers" were cutting technology and you had to pull off the interstate to find a payphone to return a call!!!
Let us know if anyone hears something from Nebula or Sirris about this.
 
Thanks for clearing it up! Love the site and I do appreciate Y'all's work in keeping it going! You are a gentleman and a scholar, and there aren't many of us left! (LOL!!!)
 
Hay Sirus thanks for the info,luv the site, thanks for keeping us in the loop.
Speaking of loops the last few days when I went on the site that’s what it felt like I was seeing! A loop !
