This site gave me a virus?

[cw79]

Hi, Earlier today I went to Tip.it to help me figure out something in a game I play and I left with 2 viruses. How do i know it was this site? On the bottom left of my Firefox browser it tells you all of the sites that are loading as the page is loading, and one of the results was "dual-boxing.com". This is pretty normal, so I thought it was just an ad or whatever until I got virus alerts and messages that said "Web Attack: Suspicious Executable Image Download Detected" from IP address '74.50.25.251'. Google that Ip it'll link you to this sites vps, and considering the fact that tip.it was loading dual-boxing.com it has to be you guys. Though I 'cleaned' the viruses off of my computer I am still getting those "Web Attack: Suspicious Executable Image Download Detected" from IP address '74.50.25.251' messages.

I read in one of the forum posts that this site was having problems with the VPS or something and were changing locations, so it was the VPS's fault? I noticed you moved away from that '74.50.25.251' address after looking it up just now, and well I'm sorry I'm blaming this site for this as its probably Lunarpages's fault... but you could see where I'm coming from (Saw this websites name, got a virus, IP links to this site). Anyways, have you guys seen any other posts about this type of thing? I'm in the process of removing this virus completely but it's not easy. =/

NOTE: I got this virus 2 days ago, this website didn't work for me yesterday, works for me now, so I posted. I never been to this site until a day after my computer was infected, and well I trust you guys and decided to make an account here to tell you about my problem.

-Thanks

I know that I couldn't log into the site for a few days. Might be that the site had a hacker break into it and mess some shit up. Infact I'm sure thats exactly whats on the minds of the mods here. Previously I have never had an issue with viruses from this site, and I probably missed the event where which a hacker tried to infect everyone who visits this site with a virus. Everything seems fine at this time as things are running smoothly without any issue at this time, thankfully.

Thanks for the response. Crazy thing is I didn't even try to access this site before getting the virus. Never seen this site before, and this was an odd way of getting me to come to the site but yeah. The virus seemed to have been spread to me throughout an advertisement on a different site (tip.it). Anyways glad not to many people seem to be infected and it looks like it was a good decision for the site to move locations. This virus is really hard to remove... but I'm making some progress. And it looks like all the intrusion attempts 74.50.25.251 are making are being blocked so that's great.

Anyone else have thoughts or anything on this?

Do not spread random misinformation, there was no mass user infections and the majority of downtime was due to DNS propagation as the site moved to a new host. I am on this site pretty much 12 hours a day and have never had a single virus warning.

Stop playing Runescape and you won't get viruses.

Please refer to this thread for information about our recent server issues: http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=44554

The only time you'll see ads here is if you aren't logged in. One of the security tools I use on the site is Google's Webmaster tools. I routinely request malware reviews and nothing has shown up. We're currently marked safe from Google.

According to google's website tools, and our old VPS's traffic logs. Tip.it doesn't like to us in any way. I'm not sure how you got a virus, but I can say with quite certainty it wasn't from us.

As stated in the thread linked above, and as stated by others in this thread, the recent downtime was due to DNS propagation to our new host.

Guess I'm not understanding what you're saying here. There was absolutely no question that 74.50.25.251 was our VPS on lunar pages. Tip.it is a Runescape site @ 184.173.129.226.

Back when I used to play that god forbidden game, tip.it was known for malware.

Just sayin..
