META: Malware warning
I just navigated to the site and a malware warning showed up. I was wondering if anyone else had/is experiencing the same thing and if anyone has any idea on how to stop it. Below is a screenshot of the warning.
EDIT: Idk why the picture didn't show up. I'll keep trying.

when I tried to log on with Safari, I got the warning. But I'm on Firefox now and didn't get the message
January 24th, 2011 at 6:14 PM ^
My Norton anti-virus keeps warning me about possible attack and I am on explorer. It happens every time I enter this site.
January 24th, 2011 at 10:37 PM ^
I got infected with it. And unfortunately I was at work which required me to get he IT department to clean my computer and for me to make a quick visit to another site so I could blame it on someplace else.
But yes....the site had a problem today.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:30 PM ^
Symantec on my work laptop has been freaking out the past couple of times I've visited this afternoon. It blocked whatever nasty script was trying to run.
P.S. I'm using Firefox 3.6.13.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:33 PM ^
Yeah, I considered making a similar post. Google Chrome keeps giving me the red screen.
It says "MGoBlog.com contains elements from the site osufoyysdf.co.cc, which appears to host malware......."
January 24th, 2011 at 5:36 PM ^
Typical OSU...
January 24th, 2011 at 5:49 PM ^
I'm getting this osufoyysdf also, what is it?
January 24th, 2011 at 5:52 PM ^
Probably an ad.

January 24th, 2011 at 8:01 PM ^
System Tool got me too. Webroot Antivirus failed me.
January 24th, 2011 at 8:37 PM ^
January 24th, 2011 at 6:04 PM ^
im using chrome, but no problems here
January 24th, 2011 at 6:08 PM ^
The only time I've gotten it is when clicking on on people's usernames and avatars within threads.
January 24th, 2011 at 8:19 PM ^
via Chrome.

I got this at work about an hour ago but not just now.
Nothing addicting here.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:32 PM ^
getting the same on Google Chrome. It says it there is spyware from the site (osufoyysdf.co.cc).
January 24th, 2011 at 5:32 PM ^
lol pokerstars
January 24th, 2011 at 5:33 PM ^
I get bored sometimes...lol
January 24th, 2011 at 5:36 PM ^
How often do you play SC2?
January 24th, 2011 at 5:37 PM ^
Pretty much never at this point. School takes up a lot of my time.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:33 PM ^
FWIW, I didn't get the warning on firefox either but Safari I did.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:33 PM ^
And it said "A recent attempt to attack your computer has been stopped" as soon as I entered the site and I had no other pages open. I am using firefox.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:34 PM ^
If you're running a strong program you should be ok.
I run MalwareBytes paid version, so it's always active and "proactively" blocks suspicious sites.
Most of the warnings do not come from MGoblog iteself but from links to other sites. Some sites pop up warnings more frequently than most of the links.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:37 PM ^
... figure out what the threat is, maybe click the diagnostics report I could help you.
EDIT: I think i have an idea, there shouldn't be any problems with the site. Most likely is it trying to reroute you to osufoyysdf.co.cc and your protection is stopping it.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:37 PM ^
I am using Google Chrome and also got a Malware warning.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:37 PM ^
January 24th, 2011 at 5:38 PM ^
They really don't and besides since when does MGoBlog give you viruses?
January 24th, 2011 at 5:42 PM ^
They really can get viruses- it's simply that there weren't many viruses written for the Mac OS. That combined with a lower user base than PCs guaranteed that the quantity of people that experienced getting a virus on a Mac was low. But, due to the increase of the OS X user base people are starting to write programs for Macs. Thus, now there are more Mac viruses and more Mac users that can get those viruses. Combine that with the general lack of antivirus on the part of Mac users and you've got a bad situation.
So, yeah, Macs can get viruses and will start getting more as time goes on.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
Macs are cool hipster kids and PCs are old dweebs. Plus, I like Coldplay and white backgrounds. Who would ever want to give me and my awesome Mac counterparts a virus???
January 24th, 2011 at 6:05 PM ^
any computer that connects to the internet can get a virus
January 24th, 2011 at 5:38 PM ^
Firefox says its clean for me.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:38 PM ^
I haven't had that warning, but about 10 times in the past week, logging onto MGoBlog has caused my Firefox to crash. I thought maybe it was because of a screwy ad.
January 24th, 2011 at 7:01 PM ^
Funny you should mention that. My work computer (a 5 year old Mac) crashes everytime I try to pull up mgoblog. It gets to the page, then about a sec or two in, it crashes safari. Interesting to know it may not be just me.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:40 PM ^
Happened this morning when I visited. I immediately restarted. I got a virus from this site last year and had to wipe my hard drive as a result. Damn rival fans always hating.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:41 PM ^
Have to believe it originates in Columbus....
January 24th, 2011 at 5:45 PM ^
Norton 360 has gone off about 4 times in the last 5 min. evertime I refresh the details are as follows.
HTTP Malicious file download request 3.
it says it is a HIGH RISK FILE!!!!
attacker URL: hdfhfdhhfdhfddsh.co.cc (76.76.105.205, 80)
Not good!!!
January 24th, 2011 at 6:16 PM ^
Your situation is different than everyone elses. The attacking website is not the same, what is happening for you is there is a script with a downloader that starts the download when you refresh the page.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
The only time it happens is when I first come to this site or when I refresh the main page to check for new posts. its o.k. it doesn't really bother me because norton 360 is the shiznit. I have checked the attacking webpage several times and I got the one mentioned by the OP as well as others now, so I am sure its a random listing of web hyperlinks that changes either due to cookies or is just completly random.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:59 PM ^
.. that domain out, (osufoyysdf.co.cc) I wouldn't recomend anyone else try it, I can because im amazing. Basicly what is happening, like I said before is this is a third party attack. When you try to visit the page it's a reroute. If your using firefox download noscript in the plugins and you wont have this problem anymore. This could also be because one of your internet ports is open, check firewall settings and makes sure all ports are set to stealth.
EDIT: For everyone wondering .co.cc is a website service. osufoyysdf is what he named his page
January 24th, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
I am lazy about anti-virus on my home PC. Logged onto Mgoblog on Saturday AM and was the proud recipient of the "System Tool" virus that overtook my machine. I guess 2 year old Anti-virus doesn't cut it. Dropped it off at my computer guy's shop today and he just chuckled as he new easy money was coming his way. Can't say it was Mgoblog for sure as no problems on work machine, but antivirus here is much better.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:06 PM ^
unfortunate you had to pay for it, it's an easy 5 minute fix
January 24th, 2011 at 6:10 PM ^
I looked into it a little bit from another machine, but couldn't even get past step 2 when I tried to start the process. I have learned over time that trying to fix these problems on my own takes 3-6 months of the end of my life. I will pay the pro and live on for one more season of Michigan football.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:55 PM ^
Phase 1) Send infected emails every few weeks
Phase 2) ???
Phase 3) Profit
January 24th, 2011 at 8:51 PM ^
Same problem here: I was lazy about anti-virus, but not anymore, lol. I wasn't able to get past that program either, until I re-started my computer in safe mode. Re-started in safe mode, went on-line; bought Kaspersky anti-virus (I had been told that was pretty good. Any other suggestions, for future reference, please advise). Like someone else said - about a 5 minute fix.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:17 PM ^
please explain, I had the same thing happen to mine this afternoon.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:21 PM ^
... A boot disk. Back up everything onto a jump drive, when your computer crashes just put it in and reload.
