to me






Good evening,

I am writing to you regarding your request to remove the detection on the hifiwigwam[.]com server. The detection is correct. It is an infected server. I have a question if you are a web owner, and if so, would you be willing to provide us with some files from your server to help us remove the infection on your server faster? If yes, please respond to this email. Otherwise, consider it irrelevant.

Sincerely,
--

We are aware of this and it is in hand the file in question has been removed, we are running scans now but they take a long time. So we're hoping to have this completely dealt with tomorrow.

Also the file in question is not malicious.

AVG are now saying “The site admin should remove the script - "hifiwigwam.com/forum/js/themehouse/io/ripple.min.js?_v=0f8e1fae". This should resolve the issue. “

After 2 days of no notifications AVG is now going crazy, I’m getting 9 new ones every time I move on the site.

Also I can’t post anything on my PC, keep getting error messages. iPad is fine.

It is Avast that kept flagging up on my Mac
Avast and AVG are the same company. On their forum it is Avast and AVG. But several other antivirus software companies are also flagging this up.

Im not sure if this is connected to the other problems I’m having with this site on Windows or not.

I'm going to share my personal opinion here for what it's worth and also something I never do. I'm a firm believer for people using windows machines that the built in(Free) windows defender is the best AV you can get. Chrome, firefox and other browsers have built in detection. I will never give my money to AVG/Avast etc and especially Kaspersky.(if you have Kaspersky on your machine please do yourself a favour and do some googling.)

edit: Again This is my own opinion, so don't take this as a dead certain FACT.

Right now I use Bitdefender and like them, all have sgn up offers, I have used Avira in the past.
What the issue with the 'wam has shown that they all share signatures !
