The sites are still not running very well and as suspected another intruder has gotten into the sites...disguised as Microsoft2010...this is a bogus antivirus AND SHOULD NOT BE DOWNLOADED UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES...Hopefully your virus protection will block any attempts from it to download on your computer. Visit the memory of sites with caution and if you know how to change your settings I would set them on High so that these malicious sites can't get through...
Hi,
Rose sent me another message this morning saying that every site she went on yesterday had a threat on it. She confirmed that by using a program from Norton...you might want to add this program to your favorites for future reference to keep checking the memory of sites or other sites you are not sure about. It is Norton Safe Web... https://safeweb.norton.com/
Take care and I will keep you updated...I know how you all feel I want so much to be able to be on LIsa's page...it is the first thing I do every time I am on the computer and then visit all our other angels but I don't want to lose everything (like we haven't already) on my computer. Take Care and Love to you all...Laura & AV
Thanks for keeping us updated. I snuck on Kay's yesterday. It saddens me that someone would infect a memorial site. I guess just another slam for us. Something we all need to be able to do to cope and someone has to infect the site. Must be a defense attorney. ;) LOL
Here are 2 emails I would like to share with all moms who are using Memory of for their memory sites...I used the Symantec.com to scan my computer but you need to diable your virus protection or pause the scanner when you are running the scan to be sure the info you receive is accurate...If you have any questions or reason to believe your computer might have been affected do not hestitate to call me or email me.
Good Morning,
Yes I would NOT go there if I were you ......Norton Symantec is showing 29 threats still ....I sent the link for the security threats already to Henry. He was to pass that along to his Techs. I feel really sorry for him, as this is not his fault. Hackers can get into anything and do as they please. They just happened to target Memory of this time. I have Norton 360 on my computer and the Trojan attacked it. When I then ran a scan ....from my own computer....it showed nothing. What you have to do is run a scan from an online free scanner. I did that and that is how I found out I WAS infected.....I use the term WAS ....but I zapped it.
You can go to:
www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
Or you can go to
http://security.symantec.com
And run free scans there. You will probably have to disable your scanner on YOUR computer to do this
Then you will know for sure if you have a virus or not. Being that it attacks YOUR OWN virus program
I suggest you do this.
Also, to check out a website to see if they have any threats you may go to
http://safeweb.norton.com
There you will enter the URL ...such as www.memory-of.com
And you will see how many threats are on that site
I hope you find this information useful
I was on Norton since 11 this morning and just disconnected with them just a couple minutes ago. They had complete control over my computer and it cost me 100 bucks. But I wanted to be sure that I got rid of that Trojan and to make sure it wasn't in my root
I am clean like a whistle.
While I was on with them ...I had them check Mike's site well Memory of.com
I did ask how often they update the www.safeweb.Norton.com
She said regularly
It must have been updated when I had her go there and now it has 31 threats
She said to stay off of Memory of until you see that safeweb says so
This is very good information
Whoever goes back in there will get it over and over again ...until Memory of fixes it
If you would like to pass this email on ...please do so
At least I know I am clean and I did zap this Trojan /Virus how I should have
Wow, well I have the AVG free scan and it's on timer to run every morning so far I haven't seen anything plus I have the spybot that runs every weekend. I snuck on the other day and couldn't light any candles I think I was able to light one for Kim then the rest I couldn't do it, but I was able to get on timmy's for a little bit and added some St. Paddy's day things on his about page. But I'm also to afraid to go on there and lose everything, and it ****** me off because there are only a very few days I'm even up to going on anymore it just hurts to bad some days and now that I feel i am able to, I can't. UUUUGGGGHHHH
Hope they get it cleared up soon.
LOVE TO ALL YOUR ANGELS, AND ALWAYS IN MY HEART AND PRAYERS EVEN THOUGH CAN'T LIGHT CANDLES, THEY ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND AND THOUGHTS AND IN MY HEART ALWAYS!!!!
The sites are still having software difficulties which can lead to vulnerability to viuruses which is the case with memory-of. It is still being listed as a dangerous site because of the malicious malware that has been downloading on unsuspecting visitors of our sites. Until they can get them running and free of any viruses Pat, Ricky's mom has passed along the following websites to look into..some are available for no charge...
http://www.gonetoosoon.org/
http://www.angelfire.com/ab3/grievingparents/
http://remembered-forever.org/create/
http://www.preciousmemorials.com/
http://www.virtualmemorials.com/
http://www.angelfamiliesonline.com/
Check them as they are all very nice sites and many angels have more than page and as you can see by what is going on that is not a bad thing!
Good Luck! Laura & AV
As of this morning the sites are still showing infections/vulnerability. In the meantime we discussed this in the chat room alternative sites and the trade-off between our withdrawl of being off the memory of to the challenge of starting over! I have visited all the sites Pat has forwarded and welcome anyone's personal experience with them to help the rest of us. I will say one thing after visiting them: WE WANT LISA ON ALL OF THEM EVENTUALLY! They are all nice and in NO WAY meant to replace our Memory Of but only to supplement. You will find a wide variety of people from each site and we have met many wonderful families. So by expanding our Angels to other pages I believe that will introduce us to other Angel Families..Gramma Rose...Angel Brittany Siefert.. is part of one of these larger networks...a very caring group. They are larger and more overwhelming but we have met many wonderful families through that network. In the next post I will list the sites and what I found and please let us know your info on those sites as well as I too suffer from MAD and miss things. Laura & AV
I am with Laura. I am still keeping my memory-of site but for now it is set to private to keep people hopefully from getting infected visiting her site. When it is fixed it will be back to public again. In the mean time I am doing one on Last Memories. It has been pretty easy. If I can do a site you know it has to be. :) I hope to eventually have her on every site I can. It may be slow since some are expensive. $300.00 for unlimited on that one Laura? WOW!!! That one will be way way way down the road. LOL
