Thank you to all of you who have been constantly keeping an eye on the site and letting me know of malware issues :D Without all of you and your great advice, I wouldn’t even know where to start getting rid of any malware issues! The past few weeks have been a hit-and-miss, trial-and-error battle between a seemingly automatic virus/exploit and myself, manually deleting any code injections that popped up in the sites many, many files of code. And, after every “wipe”, I’ve had to regularly contact Google to lift the site warning that they very rightfully placed on the site.
So, this is how it’s been going:
1) I get a warning from Google or my anti-virus software or from you and I check to see where the code injections are.
2) I go ahead and delete all the bad stuff and/or overwrite bad files with older, clean files.
3) After everything seems okay and my anti-virus software doesn’t detect anything, I ask Google for a site review to lift the site warning.
4) When Google gives the green light, everything seems clean and the site is back to normal again :D Yay! Until…
5) The malicious code returns and we’re back to step 1. And, I also pout :(
It definitely sucks, especially thinking that everything is okay after all that tedious work, only to have that work undone by some mysterious and annoying malware. After every clean up, I try something new to protect the site, whether via your advice or a Google search (I’m definitely no web expert haha). I like to think that I’ve figured it out and the site is safe but all I can do for now is keep my fingers crossed and remain vigilant. Thank you again for all your help and I know the site will get through this :D
I’m really sorry if the site has infected anyone’s system :( I hope the majority of you protect yourselves better than I do and I hope that whatever is infecting the site is as common and harmless as the articles that I’ve read claim.
Well, that’s that for now! :D You’re not here for all the malware talk, you’re here for the scene!
Enjoy Scene 19 – “Let Me Die”!
Hey everyone! Sorry about not updating for a while! Looks like I may have some free time this Sunday to work on a new scene though! :D
Awesome, if you’re doing it live again then I may finally be able to watch it! I hope you’re not too overworked.
Anyone else still around? Pseudonym? Any update on this is malware?
Yay! Right after Thanksgiving
From what I hear the malware problem has been resolved
That’d be awesome Joe! Been looking for at least one proper episode before new years. Coincidentally you’re at a place you could totally end a season of the pocalypse at
I am thankful this Thanksgiving for Joe doing his best to update. Hooray, turkey! Joe, will there be at least a filler episode for this holiday?
Joe, about how many more months do you think it will take until the game is done? Also
Black friday:
Q: Why did the band have dirty teeth?
A: Because they didn’t have a tuba toothpaste.
Working on the next scene now! Dunno if I’ll get it done tonight but it’ll be up soon! :D
thats great to hear joe! havent been catching up, but i hope that malware has been dealt with by now.
Huzzah!
