I also put searchmiracle on my censor list; but guess what. I am also using the warning hack, and everytime that poor girl posts, there is a warning issued for obscene words, and after x warnings, she got banned. I already lifted the ban manually twice.:ermm: She is not doing it on purpose. Some people are just not computer literate.

Thats not you problem. Ignorance is not bliss and spamming the community is not something I would have on my board.

She might have a bot on er PC without knowing about it.

If you do a bit of google research on this search miracle you will find that it is associated with a trojan called EliteBar. From what i see it seems to be a hell of a trojan to get rid of.

Most seem to have the best result with Giant (now Microsoft).

I am sorry that we can't really help you with this since it is not really a vB problem. Your member should clean her PC, that is the best advice i can give.

eventually, sooner or later this will become a jelsoft, phbb and everybody else problem. I got 3 new cases today with a new one
http://forums.al7bar.tk

edit make that four
http://www.dss-newbies.net

more again

My observation: This is happening only when message is in a quote.

Marco van Herwaarden 06-17-2005 03:36 PM

that al7bar looks familiar to me

Lionel 06-17-2005 03:37 PM

Marco, I know you said this is not a vb problem, but I am going crazy here, they are popping all over. But it seem to be active only when in a quote.

Marco van Herwaarden 06-17-2005 03:58 PM

There is a thread on vb.com about a similar problem. Someone call "Southernlady" (i hope i remembered the name correct) is offering help on trojan/spyware removal. I don't know here, but she seems to be specialized in these kinda things.

Is it still only in post made by 1 user?

If yes:
- Created a (.htaccess protected) test forum with a clean install (database and files)
- Give this 1 user access to the board and let her post.
- Maybe a few more of your users.

Then see if the same is happening.

Lionel, do you know what's her browser user agent? It's a long shot, but if the browser sig has an indication of any special software plugins or product tags, this may give a clue as to what's causing this. You can get her useragent from the session table.

Lionel 06-17-2005 05:28 PM

I am getting it from 3 different users now. For her, I am pretty sure it's IE

They are also coming in PM

That's not enough info :) The full browser footprint might hold some clues, like:

Code:
