Virus Alert: FPSBanana.com

Hate to say it but that's not the first time I have seen trojans on that site, I got nailed by one there 3 months ago.

Yep, I picked up something from FPSBanana around that long ago to.

JS/Exploit-BO.gen attempts to use a security vulnerability from 2005, so unless you're poor and can't afford a valid copy of windows then all you'll get is a slow browser, my browser ended up using 2 GB before I forced the process to end. It is possible, however, that there is more malware on the site. So don't take that sigh of relief yet.

So wait, you're saying you're poor and can't afford windows?

JS/Exploit-BO.gen attempts to use a security vulnerability from 2005, so unless you don't have a valid copy of windows and or don't update it regularly, then all you'll get is a slow browser, my browser ended up using 2 GB before I forced the process to end. It is possible, however, that there is more malware on the site. So don't take that sigh of relief yet.

Really now, how many people are going to be running a version of Windows that hasn't been patched since 2005?

You'd be surprised, my grandmother was running a pirated copy of Windows which didn't even have Service Pack 1 until I came over and convinced her to get a genuine copy. And that was about a month ago.

The fact that so many Steam users visit FPSB--and they make up the majority of the community--makes FPSB a good candidate (or bad in our case) for this kind of shit.

+1 to that, if you want your map to be widely distributed fpsbanana is the place, there is some good content there, unfortunately you have to weed through the tons of garbage to find it. Posting it just on interlopers won't get you much distribution, and the steam forums are like a morgue when it comes to custom content. I think what the community needs is a download site that is selective on what's allowed and not so dependent on the user. Actually lanmaniax probably fills that niche already, RA7 is pretty selective on what's posted there.

Hi, I'm a member of FPSB and just wanted to let you know that the virus has been removed and it's fully safe to return. If you did get the virus and need to know how to remove it, make a thread in the FPSB forums and people there will hellp you remove it.
The virus was not from FPSB, someone hacked part of the website and infected it. You should of been fine as long as you didn't use Internet Explorer and you had an Anti Virus Running, but again if you have any questions make a thread on the FPSB forums.
Sorry about this and I hope it didn't put you off FPSB for good.
Thanks

You joined just to say that? Either you are an avid fpsbanana user or you are a red spy!
