A user reported the above message generated by their corporate security system. I am running 7.5.3.

The security system is ESET NOD32 V4 Business Edition.

Yep. corporate firewalls are tough to deal with.
You never know what they have instituted.
I deal with them all of the time.
Most times with no success.

But anyway for starters v7.5.3 has been patched with a security update which it appears you are not using.
So even if you upgrade right now. it will not correct prior hacking to your board, if that is the case.

If you where hacked you'll need to patch your forums, make sure you're using stock files (and that they haven't been altered by a hacker), and make sure your webspace doesn't have malicious files lingering around which would allow a remote hacker to continue compromising your system.

I actually just did a cleanup of a really nasty hack last week, they aren't pretty and you as the owner are really responsible for hosting these files; after a while Google and antivirus people will start flagging your site as malicious and users will start getting warnings about your site hosting malicious content if you allow it to just sit there.

You should look into either hiring someone to fix your site, or if you think you can do it yourself (which I highly advise against as with disaster recovery is easy to miss something) you'll need to use a utility like beyond compare to compare your forum files to that of the stock files and compare differences, then you'll need to use ssh and grep to look for any suspicious edits to files and you'll need to look at recently edited/new files on the server.

Which of the two initial messages in this topic does the above reference? It appears that "driv" hijacked my topic with a different subject so I'm not sure to which one the comments refer.

I have no idea where Driv got his info for his post image.
You edited your post and where your error message came from is not displayed.
Possibly you had posted a url and he tested it.

I went by that the latest security patch addressed a very very serious security hole. Where someone could edit your scripts.
In fact it delayed progress on the next version release.
Not so much the patch itself but finding the actual hack in the scripts before the patch.

So if you are getting nagged with security risks then that could possibly be the culprit.

driv reported what his browser said, when he went to your site, so he didn't hijaack it

he was confirming that you prolly have an issue with your board security.

then we get to Giz who noticed that you aren't patched and his reply.

sooo.. the thread is still about your initial post wink

but maybe i'm wrong too laugh

I see thanks. I thought driv was just posting something they got someplace on their system.

When I go to the download area I see the full version files and I see the patch files. Which do I need? Thanks.

Since your running 7.5.3 you need to full version to upgrade to 7.5.6. The patch is if you were running 7.5.6 already

Well it is suggested to upgrade. there is a security patch for your version in the right side of the member area.
But if you were hacked already. The patch will only stop future attacks not repair past issues.

I upgraded to 7.5.6p2. I had a second person tell me that they got a similar virus alert using a different anti-virus program than the first person. I have asked both of them (and PMed driv) to try it again to see if they get the same error.

I installed the same anti-virus system used by one of the persons who reported the problem, but I don't get the error. I didn't get it before I upgraded to 7.5.6ps either.

Quickly looking through the source code of your site doesn't look like anything was added. But like giz said, you could have malicious code on your server.

If your site was compromised prior to the patch, that doesn't mean the patch will fix whats could have been added. You may need someone to go through your server and check things out.

Ask your members what they are doing when they get the alert, what browsers they are using. Run your site through http://sucuri.net/global, which says your sites good, but you never know. Code could be hidden in any of the .php or .js files

Both users that got the error got it immediately when accessing the message board. One used specifically said the were going to the login page. I don't know what browser they used, but I have left them an email message about that.

The sucuri scan came up clean.

I'll see what my 2 users say and then go from there.

I appreciate your assistance.

After upgrading to 7.5.6p2 2 of the 3 people (thanks driv) reported that there were no more errors. I am waiting for the 3rd person to report once he gets to his office. But it looks favorible.

Thanks to everyone for their assistance. Have a wonderful holiday.

At this point everyone who reported a virus infection message on my message board pages reports now that all is ok after upgrading to 7.5.6p2.

I'm glad to hear that upgrading patched stock files that where modded by a hacker; I hope you take my advice under advisement about ensuring your server isn't insecure as if the intruder could overwrite one file they certainly could have added several others all over your webspace.

Any further checking would be beyond the scope of my technical ability. Any idea of the time and cost involved to have a person competent in this area look it over?

Really depends on the amount of data on your site; I had to do a cleanup of a really nasty hack on a client site where I had to work with his webhost directly to clean up the mess and it took about 12 hours to accomplish (though his issues extended far beyond his forum just being hacked).

My general baseline minimum as far as a quote would go is ~3 hours @ $120/hr; which would include comparing ubb files for any "new" files, looking at all files newer than a couple of weeks, going through every line of code on your site and looking at post requests, etc.

It looks like this reply was made to my posting from 5 months ago. But I'm sure it was directed at the poster below mine.

In any case, in order to possibly help the new poster here's what I had to do ...
  • upgrade ubbthreads to 7.5.6p2 to pick up the security patch
  • reload the OS on my server
