Title: Another Virus in GTM?
Post by: HurricaneAndrew on September 04, 2009, 10:10:24 PM
Everytime I open GTM, I am getting a warning from my anti-virus.
 
It says something about HTML/Crypted.Gen
 
May be something to check into...

I just got the latest version of Trend Micro 2009 and it has a small box it puts in the top of Firefox and will tell me if a page is safe, not safe, threatening or unknown, etc and it says GTM is Safe ????

Yea, GTM's homepage keeps getting hacked.

It seems to be an issue with our host, Dreamhost, being insecure, not us.

GTM is not the only  site hosted by dreamhost that is having this issue.


I have cleaned up the homepage again, it should be safe to use again.

Oh so thats why I never got any virus warnings from GTM, I always go straight to the forums. Only then when I have some images to upload I go trough the frontpage.

You should check out http://shadyhosting.co.uk/ . They have great offers and never failed me or anybody else I know. They have recently switched to a new design, so their site may not be fully usable yet.
