XF 2.1 VIRUS !!!! !!

[PhillipW]

The file you uploaded, xenforo_2.1.10-Patch-2 contains a virus so the upload was canceled: YARA.blackhole_basic.UNOFFICIAL FOUND

I don't know what they have on the server.

Check in your cPanel.

To my regret, the archive is recognized as the one containing malware by our security services. To my regret, it is not possible to upload it in that case.

I recommend either scanning the files by some anti-virus tool and cleaning them or uploading the archive content via SFTP so that we could test if the issue still occurs

According to my host above. So according to my host the zip file contains the malware. Oh well I am not going to play around with it all day I'll use another forum software...

They are wrong, their security measures are reporting a false positive. Not sure what you can do at this point, as they seem unlikely to help.

Maybe try an older version, install that, then upgrade to latest version.

What can you expect half of those damn operators can barely speak ****ing English! Don't know been with Namecheap a long time but I am about ready to ditch the SOBs....

I ran the virus scanner in C Panel and it's saying no virus found.....! I cannot help believe that the problem is in the zip file now...

 

[Ozzy47]

So try an older version and see what happens then.

And how do I get an older version? It only gives me access to the current version.

When you click on the download link, you should be able to scroll and go all the way back to 1.0.0 if you wanted. That is in the pop up that appears after clicking on “Continue “

I strongly doubt that there is a virus, if there was many more members would be reporting it. Have you tried renaming the file to just xf.zip? I'm not sure when XenForo started putting the domain name in the file name, but maybe that name is what is triggering the warning?

Also, I think you should remove the license number from your filename in the first message.

 

[PhillipW]

Problem is in zip file from Xenforo..I downloaded 1.5 with no problem....

 

[Ozzy47]

Downloaded or uploaded?

Thanks I did not realize It was there...

Uploaded. Let me try renaming like Lawrence suggested. Nope..Still not working.....

 

[Ozzy47]

It could be the file name causing the problem.

This really sounds fishy to me. A professional software company would never allow malware or a virus to be in their software. As stated previously, more people would be reporting it. The only way a virus or malware could've gotten into the software would've been through a third party site (downloaded it illegally/nulled)

If that's not the case above, It could also be an issue on your server/host's end, a misconfiguration of the server, or perhaps the virus or malware is already present on your server and it's just preventing uploads.

Or the server is overzealous and reporting a false positive due to configuration of the virus software.

I can I assure you my license are legal...Bought and paid for.....I don't know what the problem is....I can upload earlier versions but not the current one.

Oh well off to upload IPB and use it...Not going to waste all day on this I don't have time.

 

[Ozzy47]

Simply upload 2.1.9 and install that. Then use the ACP to update to the latest version.

 

[PhillipW]

OK I will try that and let you know.

 

[PhillipW]

Nope. Same problem...Anything related to version 2.xx I am getting that same problem....May just use 1.5 and to hell with it.

 

[Ozzy47]

Well you could try installing 1.5 then upgrade to latest version via the ACP
