I use BlackIce Defender to guard against Hacker Attacks. This forum gets more than anyone I have every been to. Better invest in a good Firewall to view this form. Have it set to its highest setting. I hope the Webmaster of this Form starts to look into this. It is really getting bad! :eek:

 

What form are you talking about? Do you mean forum?

If so, how can your copy of Black Ice tell you how often
this forum is being hacked?

 

Art,

Not sure what you're talking about here... Unless I'm really missing the boat on the way something works, you've got some settings wrong. Do you get the same response every time you click on a certain button or type of link?

I've got Zonealarm running on my home PCs as well as a hardware firewall in my router. I've used both Blackice and Zonealarm on my work laptop - never had the problems you're talking about. Something is set incorrectly.

Try surfing some other forums that use the same software as clublexus and see if you get the same errors. I think www.avsforum.com uses the same vbb.

 

I also use Zonealarm and I get ditto from this site.

 

art,

...or are you trying to say that the CL web site
is performing hacker attacks on your PC?

I use zonealarm and no problems here.

 

Perhaps they're getting cookie update requests and thinking they're hacks.

 

I did not say any of the Hacker attacks was coming from anyone who operates this form. But someone seeing if peoples computers are vulnerable. If you guys don't see anything then you very well might be a subject of an attack. I use the latest version of BlackIce version 3.5 ceh. Believe me set your security setting higher especially if you have an ADSL connection. Funny the hacker attacks suddenly stopped now. So it could be a member of one of these forms doing this.

 

I used to receieve a lot e-mail viruses from supraforums, if that is what you are gettting at. To guard yourself, I found it is best to make your e-mail nonpublic.

 

I have the latest version of black ice and I don't have any problems.

 

You mean to tell me you don't get any alerts from Blackice?

Here is one attack I just received when I went on this forum.

The count just went up to 6 at 1:37:36 PM with the above Hacker on this forum :eek:

Yes, I mean to tell you I don't get any alerts. Maybe you have the protection level set too high. Keep in mind you are logged on to the CL server and cookies are being sent to your computer. If the setting are too high, black ice will think you are being attacked when in reality a cookie is being stored on your computer.

What protection level are you running? I have mine on "nervous" and have no problems.

 

Thanks for the zonealert info guys!
Installed last night and already have 26 intrusions blocked with 13 of those being high rated. Thanks again guys! Maybe i won't have to format so often anymore!

 

I think you're seeing CL check to see if you have AIM loaded.

 

If you do a disk image it will cut the time way down to get back up.
