Suprnova.org Virus

[Monkster]

well, I use Mozilla and when I go to Novasearch, it pops up with a download box (u know, the one where it asks whether to open or save the file) and i just click cancel.

Mozilla RULEZ!!!

same thing happened to me only i didn't alert me Norton's found 4 of them in a scan!!

and my puter is running so f**cking slow atm

so anyone know what the problems it courses??

Don't let what happened to me happen to you. Before you put any javascript on your page that you didn't write, like a stats tracker, test it out!

A few days ago I put RealTracker on novasearch to replace nedstat, as nedstat had removed NovaSearch from their service. This was the biggest mistake I ever made. It turns out that RealTracker was putting popups and viruses into their tracker code, and the recent slew of viruses and popups from NovaSearch are all due to this tracker.

I've removed it now that I know what it is, but it's too late; because of this incident SuprNova has decided to stop supporting NovaSearch on March 14th. It's been a good time running NovaSearch, but come March, you guys are on your own. Good luck.

That just in from the novasearch.net site... Heh, bet he's kicking himself

I get it as well. I thought it was just me. It seems to be comming from the Java, Norton said the infected file, but I scanned it, and it was ok. At leaste its not just me.

Sloncek denoted on the suprnova board that there will be a search engine

Ok first, some explanation. It is not just the virus thing, but virus was just over the edge. Anyway yes NovaSearch helped us quite alot, but sometimes we felt like it would be easier if it was all in our hands. And the last week was terrible, with the virus. Yes its true SuprNova is too large to be without search engine, but who says there will be none. Guspaz, we appriciate what you have done for us, but we have told you before, this is not permanent. Sorry.

Update

SuprNova.org dropping support to NovaSearch.net sloncek @ 15-02-2004 15:00&nbsp;
Many of you have read about it already, when you went to NovaSearch.net and many of you do not actually understand what this means for SuprNova.
Due to the latest events with NovaSearch and SuprNova, we feel like it would be in SuprNova&#39;s best interest, if it had its own search engine and would not relay on somebody else, meaning it would be even better compatibile with SuprNova then NovaSearch has been so far. We are greatful for what NovaSearch (Guspaz) has done for us so far, but we thingk its a next step we need to take. After 15th March, support to NovaSearch will be stopped and a new search engine for SuprNova will come.
What this means for SuprNova users?
You should not feel too much of a change when it happens, but we will see how it goes with time.
Please try to understand this, since we try to do what we think its best for our users.
