DiscreetFX website?
« on: August 31, 2011, 10:38:11 PM »
Is anyone else having problems there, or has my AVAST gone haywire?  (Certainly, false detections are possible.)

I posted about this before, but they changed the name of the thread and buried it. Try and find it if you can lol.  Nice to see they haven't done anything about it.

Can we please get a response from some member of DiscreetFX on this problem?  Are the trojan/virus reports real?  Is someone from DiscreetFX in charge of it being fixed, or worked on?
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Just a query here, and I realize there's some sort of "secret handshake society" on A.org and there's some benevolent factor named "Tedd" or something.  I'm not much on drama and backstory.  I am asking about security of my personal data.  If I understand it correctly, A.org and DiscreetFX are joined at the hip now.  DiscreetFX being the guys behind this new "Amiga Marketplace", iirc.

This DiscreetFX.com four alarm security fire when you even peruse the front page have been going on for AGES.  Months.  Seriously.  It's nothing to do with Google.  There is a handful of trojans embedded and 4 different security packages today showed me that again.

That being said, I don't visit websites I feel are dodgy.  I will not be back to Discreetfx.com - the last time I was there I wanted to buy Aladdin, but my security software lighting up like 50 cops at a keg party prevented that.  New anomaly today when I went to check it out again.  Nothing personal.

I do not mean to slander these folks in any way, I merely am curious regarding the security of Amiga.org and the very brief amount of personal information I keep here.  If Discreetfx.com and Amiga.org are run by the same admin/server entities, I have my concerns.  I have only hit a handful of security issues on A.org itself due to the google ads, but I do worry about it getting worse.

Thank you,
Duce

They run on different servers and different hosting providers.

Super, thanks for the clarification, Transition - and my apologies if I came off a bit snippy.  I imagine all the DiscreetFX team is eager to get it sorted out.

I guess the question then is is the same person responsible for security patches on both sites?  ;)

I'm curious, whenever I see a post from Transition he is listed as banned.  Is a banned user able to post?  Or is he/she just getting short bans occasionally and I just happen to catch that person listed as banned shortly after a new ban?  Again, just curious.

No problems here. Site is slick as snot and uber fast - the way the internet and my connection should be. Then again, I'm using an "ancient" and "obsolete" G5 iMac running Tiger and the only trojans I ever run across are the ones you get at a pharmacy.  :lol:

That's a joke in his custom title.
