Just logged in to the main website and apparently there has been an update to the website that is causing some problems. I have not updated my browsers, still using the same browsers I have been using for quite a while: FireFox v2.0.0.9 and IE 7.0.5730.11.
Until about a week ago when I last logged in the site worked ok with both browsers with the exception of the PP section that only works in IE.
Today however after logged in, when I click on Divisions a new IE window pops up (as opposed to loading into the same frame) with only the menu (http://www.fly-euroharmony.com/site/menu_d.htm). Then clicking on any of these menu items (which is the only thing showing on the page) it does not load the target page.
I don't see any posting about a website update but likewise I have not changed my browsers either. Can somebody confirm that? The same happens on both FF and IE.
The buttons image map at the top has a target frame named I1 or something like that. I see some page error saying something that the frame does not exist or that it is null.

I cannot get into ProPilot page. When I hit the PP and try to log in, I get a "new Page 3" window and nothing happens. April 12 at 1813Z
-
When the new page 3 opens go back to the original page you clicked from and it opens there. All very strange. :%
-
Hmm... now that *IS* strange... not of my doing, I must hasten to add (and yes, it is I that is normally responsible for changes to the website...)
Since the menu that pops open looks "different" (can't explain, there's just something that feels different about it, other than it's opening in it's own window), I'd guess the graphics department have played. I'll have a wee looky at the script for the menus and see if I can't sort it.
BTW Didimo, 2.0.0.9 is *very* old (in Firefox terms...) Current version is 2.0.0.13, and I would very much recommend you upgrade as both .12 and .13 had major security updates in them.
UPDATE: Fixed, thanks all for reporting the error.
-
Thanks Murray,now we can go ahead again.
-
Site is fixed, thanks. Already installed my FF update as well.
May I ask what is it that the PP pages use that only works with IE?
-
You'd need to ask Bruno, that's still his (other) baby... :)
-
Hi Didimo,
On the time that I developed it, Firefox was still on the early stage so I didn't gave much attention to it.
My mistake of course :). We will try to adjust it as soon as we can.
Just to notice that you can download a FF extension that will permit you to use the IE API on Firefox.
Regards,
-
Okay now in PP without the New Page 3 message. Everything looking good again.
Thanks Murray.
-
Just to let you know the Page 3 message is still coming up in IE 7 :)
-
Yes, looks nasty again. I will have Murray take a look when he can, we may have to take the site down for a bit so be prepared.
-
I might have an idea as to why this is happening, let me go verify something quickly, will be back shortly :)
-
On it. It's the same thing as last time (that's mostly for the MTs benefit) and since I'm at work it's going to take me a little longer to fix it...
-
Oh ok, cool, will check back tomorrow :) :)
-
Just tried to enter the PP division.We have now a "new page 3".
I cannot enter the division :$
As I am at Rodos with a B763 on the moment I will take a short holiday.;)
-
My Anti virus software is flagging up a Trojan on the Home web page.
-
Should be fixed again. Apologies for the annoyance...
-
Mine as well (ZoneAlarm).
-
Thanks gents. Which one in particular? It might help us stop this happening in the future?
-
Hi Murray my anti virus is detecting the following virus: Trojan-Clicker.JS.AGENT.H hope this helps.
-
*Many* thanks for that Bruce.
@Everyone: I have now discovered (and with luck blocked) the vector that was being used to apply this malware to the site (MT should look in our private forum for full information).
It shouldn't happen again in the sort of timeframe it did yesterday/today, but just in case I have taken further precautions; a backup of the files that are being replaced each time, so one quick unpack operation will put them back as was...
-
Thanks again Murray.
I can enter PP again,however funny is that a Mcafee scan did not find any virus.
-
Look up the name Bruce reported on McAfee's forum ;)
We're not the first people hit by this malware, and you're not the first McAfee user wondering why it doesn't get detected...
-
IVAO got hit some days ago if I remember correctly :( I hope my PC did not get infected. I just ran AdAware and did not detect anything extraordinary (tracking cookies only).
Currently running Norton AV with the updates but I hope it finds nothing. Then again... for what it seems NAV fails miserably at detecting some things. Can anybody recommend a better antivirus?
-
Personally, I only use NOD32 (http://www.eset.com) on my on equipment (thirty day demo available from their website). If you check out AV Comparatives (http://www.av-comparatives.org/), you discover that Eset NOD32 has won "best of year" two years running. Plus, it's dead light on computer resources, and it's also blindingly fast. Furthermore, it's not tremendously expensive for home use (£27 per year)
And before anyone finds out "by accident" and thinks there's sommat dodgy going on, yes, the company my mate David and I run is a NOD32 reseller, but that's mostly because we were both using it before we started the company and thought reselling would be a nice way of getting it cheaply (and it is ;D)
-
Kaspersky is supposed to be good, fast and cheap too.
By the way, for those worried with possible infections in IE (undoubtly, the most vulnerable browser available out there) and that PP is supposed to work only in IE, I should recommend you using Opera. PP works fine and its a nice browser. Ive been using it for as long as I can remember. And its fairly immune to web based attacks programmed for IE, as far as I remember, ive never been infected that way.
-
Kaspersky is very strong, but I always found it extremely slow when I was running it. Of course, that was a couple of versions ago, at things may have improved greatly since then.
I'm intrigued to hear that PP works in Opera. Perhaps the PP code isn't all that far away from being cross-browser - it's on my list of things to look at, but said list is *very* long at present, and maggots deliberately trying to break the current site for everyone else only makes it longer... Fingers crossed, won't happen again today and we can all get back to what we want to be doing, rather than what we need to be doing... ;)
-
I use Kaspersky and it is very good, one thing I have found is that I have problems logging into the FLogger if Kaspersky is running, I turn off Kaspersky , then logon to the FLogger then restart Kaspersky, other than that I have no problems with it.
-
Well, touch wood, etc, etc, we're past when the trojan was re-applied yesterday without incident today. We will of course keep monitoring things throughout the day to be safe, but I think we can finally begin to draw the line under this one...
-
I made a little video showing me locking a flight with Opera. Quality is the result of fitting a desktop to the size of YouTube window, but I think it can be seen that im locking the flight and then unlocking it

I might be slightly responsible for the attack guys...
Please tell me whether the guy who hacked or attacked had a name like Felaco and/or was Turkish.
I say this because on another website which I'm a moderator on, a guy named Felaco attacked it and he was definitely Turkish as the messages were in Turkish and he hacked it with messages and malware with some really disgusting stuff about how he thought Greeks were vile.
Me and an Admin managed to get it all off, but please tell me whether it was the same sort of thing considering I wasn't here when the attack happened
I am so sorry if it is related to this horrid person :[
-
Matt,
Only thing we have that identifies the perp is the IP address that did the uploads, and that reverse traced to Russia. I don't think this was "your fault" per say, and I don't really want to say very much more about it. ;)
-
ah, ok. Not a word more from me;D
-
Ok Mariano,I downloaded Opera and it's perfect with PP.
Thanks, I will use it from now on.
