PeterT Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Anyone else been having problems in the last half hour, or so, or do I just have a very sick computer? Thanks, Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Anyone else been having problems in the last half hour, or so, or do I just have a very sick computer? I've had response problems on and off this morning, but they haven't been limited to C.net. I figured it was the local phone company being short on capacity, but maybe it was a problem with the North Atlantic link? Thinking back, I realize it was various North American sites where I was having problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindizzy Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) Anyone else been having problems in the last half hour, or so, or do I just have a very sick computer? Thanks, Peter. I'm getting a LONG pause every time I navigate from one page to another, then a window springs up complaining about a .wmf file (I think that's some sort of windows media file ?? ) Maybe it's associated with an ad? The Popup says: You have chosen to open xpl.wmf which is a BIN file from http:count4all.net - what should Firefox do with this file? Hmmm... sounds like a third party visitor counter - maybe that's the bit that's currently giivng C-net grief.

Theodore Kloba Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) I was getting virus alerts and Java errors when I came to the forum, and then the notice about downloading a WMF file (which is capable of containg viruses). I disabled Java and Javascript and the forum operates normally. Edited July 17, 2006 by Theodore Kloba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Schwartz Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 All fixed up now. Yes, a virus attack on the Forums system/server was the cause. It has been cleaned and patched and all passwords changed. Hopefully this should be the end of it... Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
