Web Shield says our website is malicious, but it's not!!!
« on: April 04, 2014, 01:20:51 AM »
My Avast Web Shield says all of the sub-domains that are part of our main website are hacked.

They are not!!!  I checked with Google Webmaster Tools and it tells me the entire website is fine.

we DID get hacked a while ago, but things have been okay for a while.  how do we get off Avast's s**t list?

Thanks in advance!

What is your website? Make it a dead link by using "htxp" or "hxxp".
What is your website IP?

Our website analysts use various scanners to determine a websites safety/security.

His second post here.
Again using bad language.
And he never responded to his previous post.
If he is the admin/webmaster, he should change his attitude imho.

I made my post yesterday evening giving the OP plenty of time to respond. I did so knowing that there
are plenty of forum members able to run the many tests to check his website. Instead of getting his
issue cleared up he wanted to rant. Personally I wanted to do some website analysis for my own
curiousity.

Okay guys... in reading your posts I realized one important thing:

I AM A MORON (for not including the URL).

Here are a few of the sub-domains:
http://triadig.oagroups.org/
http://elpaso.oagroups.org/
http://oabronx.oagroups.org/

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

As Polonus states, there are remains of the hack remaining. For a similar (if not the same) issue, please see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16013544/

The "abtt.tv" is supposedly malicious. Do you have any connections with them?

@Para-Noid I recommend direct analysis over "automated scanning". Sure you can use them for guidance, but you should never fully rely on them.

@kiernan7 Sorry for the inconvenience. Just a heads up that you have the right to not post confidential e.g: website urls on public forums.

Regards,
~!Donovan

Would not surprise me if the problem is caused by using the old wordpress version.

Well Eddy, we could even be somewhat more precise and bet on this wordpress theme - themes/twentyten/ -
and it is a truly a good candidate to get us into trouble.
Read how that came backdoored, yep, by the developer I mean: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-issue-with-twentyten
So with free themes we have to be extremely cautious what we are actually installing  ::)
