Threats on eccie.net

Just an FYI that I get this message from my AVG AV software when I access eccie.net

Looks like there is a post about this in the Tech forum.

I do not want cast a shadow on Eccie, but this virus is known to go after servers first and then disperses outbound when people sign in.

Here is what AVG Threatlabs says-

Here is what Symantec has to say-

Everyone should update their Virus Protection immediately.

I was having issues on my Mac today also after I downloaded Google Earth. I tried to uninstall it. Still could not log on. Anyway I sign on to my computer as a quest and was able to log in here.

Presently, I am no longer seeing this issue. It appears the problem has been taken care of by the technical staff here.

ECCIE Owners... It would be nice if the technical staff actually posted something to let people know, and then let us know when they thought it was fixed.

Two such notifications were posted in the following thread...

I suggest that you visit the Technical Questions forum when you have such questions or issues.

Moved to the Technical forum since it is not an issue of personal safety.

And I am going to close it because we already have a thread here on this topic.

Here it is...
