The attacks seem to be few and far inbetween, but it's happened to me twice.

Here's the topic on Wikia's forums: http://www.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Virus_Detected,_Shut_down

Just for your info MAC OS was developed from debian and still identifies itself as such if you boot in verbose mode.

I looked through the system log and grep'ed all the strings in the kernel and I don't see that. Are you sure debian is involved? Mac OS X is based on a modified BSD.

The system from the command line down is opensourced as Darwin and comes with twm. GNU-Darwin comes with WindowMaker, Enlightenment, Xfce and GNOME.

Anyhoo, how 'bout those wikis?

P.S. I'd rather talk about the EN-511 :-)

Aldul, If you take a look at the first page of this thread I had provided the link to a wiki page that covers this for MAX OSX it is based on BSD Varient. and some Technologies from OPen Step that had bought out out when it was available. I have two Nextstations over here of my own that use open step. But Hd not the time to look for an exernal SCSI cdrom drive for it to reformat both drivers.

But just for you I'll repost the link here for you so you don't have to look through the first page.

To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

Sorry for always double posting here Tronfaq. but we all must thank Auric for banning him as well as the admins on tron-sector for trying to make sure that he behaved himself here. I know you can only do so much. But at that point you had to do what you had to do over there. And we appreciate it as well.

We can now, hopefully, resume our discussions without random nonsensical posts cluttering up the forum every day.

Back on-topic, hope that Wikia sorts out the problem Mr. Sinistar! Any word on if they've solved the problem yet?

Thanks for posting the link "just for me". I'm all too familiar with the system. I've been working at Apple on Max OS X since 1999 and on NextStep since 1993.

Now that I know that anything resembling a "me too" post will get a response, I'll only chime in if I have anything truly new to contribute. Back to lurking.

No problem I deal on a daily basis with tehcnical support of hardware and software along with computer programming. So some placs I am very familiar with on certain machines including those running from Silicon graphics, Sum Microsystems, and like th nextsation. I haven't had a chance to use Appl with OSZ on it. Never realy needed to fr the kind of technical support that I had in the past. So no norries we are all here to learn and help each other out as well. And of course to talk about tron and have fun together.

Hi,

Thanks for these screenshots, we are working hard to identify and remove this infected ad.

For the record, we're as angry and upset about malware ads as anyone on the Internet. Our sales team has a strict no tolerance policy for selling advertising only to reputable advertisers. Unfortunately, like almost every other site on the Internet today, we also use ad networks like Google, AOL's Ad.com, Tribal Fusion and others. The ad networks often in turn sell our inventory to other ad networks. As a result, occasionally a bad ad gets into the system somewhere and finding it is an incredibly frustrating whack-a-mole problem, because even our partner sometimes doesn't know who sold the ad.

We work with our viewers to try to identify the ads, use firebug to try to identify the offending ad network and then call them to shut it down... and the next day the ad can sometimes re-appear through yet another ad network. But be assured that we are constantly working to find and shut down any of these ads as they appear as we hate them as much as you do.

We are currently trying to identify the latest instance of this bad ad so we can shut it down, so if you have firebug and want to help please post the source of the ads here.


Thanks,

Gil Penchina Wikia

Glad to know they're working on it.

*facepalms* That was what I was trying to talk about earlier. X_x

And oops, Compucore-- I wasn't sure that you were actually helping me. (I got confused, sorry!)

Regardless-- yay on Wikia people for tracking that down. But yeah, it is a serious whack-a-mole with getting bad ads out. :/order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

Kia it is okay Under circumstance like this I know not everyone here uses alternate Operating systems like Linux and it's 350+ flavors out there with some of the other UNixes that I have tried over here. I should have said something to the effect that I was agreeing with you and giving more information to back you up with it so that you know that you knoe right then and there. My mistake as well on it of not being very clear about it. So we'll be even on this. ^5

YES!!!!!!!!!
Hi, just to let you know that we have identified the ad network sending us these problem ads, and blacklisted the advertiser. There have not been any new reports of malware since then, so it looks like it's been cleared. Thanks to everyone who sent in reports of this, they really helped us in tracking down where this was coming from!
