While on E-Train last week, the Virus protection on my computer notified me that an attack was made on my computer but was blocked. It happened several more times over a span of days. Is there a virus or spyware attack going on here? It just happened again a few minutes ago. It just started last week. Odd.

Is there anyway someone could check the site and stop whatever it is?

^Were you getting any error messages? If so, what did it say?

No. No error message. I got a notification from my Virus protection that an attack was made on my computer but that it was blocked. That had not happened while on this site until last week. As I said above, it happened a few times last week and it had just happened before I wrote the original message.

I have Virus and Spyware protection on my computer. It blocks attempts and then lets me know that an attempt was made.

did you happen to visit the idol forums from a link posted here? If I go there, I always get those messages. I quit going there. Someone told me that if you use firefox instead of IE, you won't get viruses from that site, but I choose not to risk it anymore. Besides, I only get mad reading there anyway!! Good luck figuring it out..

Georgia fan..I just had the same thing happen to me. It never did it before.

There are times when a buffer overflow occurs when a large message is posted to a website (ours included) that appears to be a virus attack to MSIE. That is not to say that a virus could not be downloaded through a link on the site.

I have not seen this happen with my browser on my system (MSIE on WinXP) while attached to etrainstation.com.

One of the things that you might do (especially with MSIE) is to clear your Internet Cache --- aka temporary Internet Files.

There shouldn't be any virusus that are directly embedded into the etrainstation.com site, but if you have a page or link that we can check, we'll look into that.

ETA: never mind..i figured it out. :elliottcap:
