I just got a message from Norton Anti-Virus advising that "An intrusion attempt by aubergedelachaite.com was blocked. The IP address of the attacking computer is 213.186.33.87,80".
Perhaps this is something that needs looking into by the Admins?
Has anyone else had a similar experience. Norton seems to have protected me this time!

I would say your biggest problem is having Norton on the computer.............

I've never experienced any problems with the site since the whole virus fiasco.
I'm sure downloading some Norton or McAfee software will correct that.

The site comes up as clean every time we check it. If Norton told me it was dark outside at night I'd open the curtains and check

Norton, possibly the worse "anti-virus" out there
AVG rocks
By the way my computer is on 24hrs a day and there is always a .NET page open...... no virus warnings for me

I get warnings all the time on here, have done for months. Only ever use my laptop for on here, the bounce, official site, nfl sites and ebay. I got a Trojan virus and it totally ducked it. Had to take it in to get repaired and everything. Not saying I got it on here (don't even know how they work) but if I get another one I'll be well pd off after being told it was safe on here now.

Norton are the biz as far as I'm concerned. They have identified potential problems while viewing Hibs Net in the past and on each occasion they have successfully blocked any attack.
AVG are the cheapskate option - you get what you don't pay for.

I think you'll find 'Windows' is the cheapskate option. None of these viruses have EVER affacted my Linux laptop

That's because no one can be bothered writing a virus for the few when they can write one that will hit the many. It's not because any Unix based OS is better.

Cos they are crap and so is AVG as they block simply anything that comes on your screen that they don't like the look of, you have to filter it to get rid of it, a pain in the erse, I use Avira with no problems at all. Originally Posted by TornadoHibby

Yep. Norton will flag up really low risk stuff and anything it doesn't recognise. Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole!! Originally Posted by HIBERNIAN-0762

Avast on both laptop and phone. Never had an issue with either. Malwarebytes is also useful when dealing with minor issues on websites.

I agree with the first part but not the second. Originally Posted by AndyB_70

Unix based OSes are inherently safer, though I can't be bothered explaining all the reasons why. Each action is permission and group based and helps restrict the access a virus can have on a system. Up until recently, Windows Oses were open all areas and non Admin protected by default.
Oops, you got me going on my favourite topic there, sorry

It's not that Linux has good security, people just don't care enough about it to attack it. Originally Posted by keekaboo

Me too and I'd rather it alerted me to and protected me from minor things if that was the price to pay for being alerted to and protected from somthing sinister on the pc or laptop! Originally Posted by Steve-O

I think the views from "IT specialists" on antivirus software products are generally as dependable as the views of estate agents on property values in that if you were to ask 10 of them independently from each other, they would be unlikely to be agreed on the best product (or value)!

Everyone will have different experiences with AV and there is no 100% or fit-all answer. Anyone who says there is is talking *****. I swear by Trend Micro's business AV myself and have done for many many years. Consistantly around the top of the testing charts although these are constantly changing. But...
Any AV program that is so poorly written that its uninstall routine simply doesn't uninstall the program is a bad thing. If it leaves so much of itself there after the failed uninstall that it prevents other AV software installing or running, that's a very bad thing. If all-in-all its so ****** that it requires its own vendor to write and make available a specific tool to actually uninstall it, that's a stunningly bad thing. Google 'Norton Removal Tool'...
I'd rather have a virus on my machine than have Norton on it; probably easier to clean

my Work laptop picked up a nast trojan/spyware on Wednesday after being on .net. Everytime I visited a secure site it claimed my account was blocked following suspicious activity and asked for "details" to unlock it.
The LLoyds website one was best with it's box for "ATM Pin"
Needless to say my IT department had to wipe my hard drive and rebuild my laptop
