You guys, its just [B]CloudFlare[/B]. Stop getting your panties in a bunch about it. [sp]Everyone freaks out every-time this happens, WHY[/sp]

[QUOTE=areolop;34774807]You guys, its just [B]CloudFlare[/B]. Stop getting your panties in a bunch about it. [sp]Everyone freaks out every-time this happens, WHY[/sp][/QUOTE] when I go into Facepunch I don't expect to see that I'm blocked with a message telling me I may have a virus.

AVG found nothing. I started up Kaspersky for the first time in ages and it found nothing. Way to god damn go, CloudFlare.

[QUOTE=areolop;34774807]You guys, its just [B]CloudFlare[/B]. Stop getting your panties in a bunch about it. [sp]Everyone freaks out every-time this happens, WHY[/sp][/QUOTE]I would imagine that the page basically putting "YOU HAVE A HORRIBLE VIRUS PANIC NOW" in huge-ass fonts has something to do with it.

[QUOTE=Doomish;34774834]AVG found nothing. I started up Kaspersky for the first time in ages and it found nothing. Way to god damn go, CloudFlare.[/QUOTE] hahahaha got you good

[QUOTE=Doomish;34774834]AVG found nothing. I started up Kaspersky for the first time in ages and it found nothing. Way to god damn go, CloudFlare.[/QUOTE] Yeah I'm sure all of Facepunch just suddenly got some Internet-hogging virus.

[QUOTE=LarparNar;34774865]Yeah I'm sure all of Facepunch just suddenly got some Internet-hogging virus.[/QUOTE] considering i scanned it before i came into this thread i had no knowledge of the fact that everyone was getting it so your sarcasm is kind of unnecessary

[QUOTE=Doomish;34774899]considering i scanned it before i came into this thread i had no knowledge of the fact that everyone was getting it so your sarcasm is kind of unnecessary[/QUOTE] I usually check this thread first. Avoids stuff like that.

is there a way you could at least edit the page to explain the situation better?

Also. Rating is broken for me. I randomly get sent to [url]http://www.facepunch.com/#[/url]

[QUOTE=LarparNar;34774909]I usually check this thread first. Avoids stuff like that.[/QUOTE] Except I couldn't access the thread because I was being blocked by cloudflare screaming at me that I had a virus so uhhh

[QUOTE=Doomish;34774940]except i couldn't access the thread because i was being blocked by cloudflare screaming at me that i had a virus so uhhh[/QUOTE] Um. I'm pretty sure everyone has the possibility of getting access as soon as they enter the correct phrase for the captcha.

Wow when that page popped up I just about shat a brickhouse

But I followed the logical path of reason and scanned my system immediately just in case it was right and I really did have a virus uguhghghgh whatever it doesn't even matter.

Guys, relax. Some idiot probably got banned and thought it'd be a good idea to DDoS Facepunch. that said it's always funny to come into AUATF when this happens and watch everyone cry about how they thought they had a virus

[QUOTE=Baldr 2.0;34774998]Can some one explain what a virus is?[/QUOTE] When a mummy and a daddy love each other very much... And don't use protection...

This is the first time it has ever happened to me, haha so funny

I'm fairly certain it just doesn't work right seeing as a bunch of people are reporting being restricted at the same time. I got the same screen, and I'm quite sure my computer didn't magically get infected with a virus whilst I was showering.

[QUOTE=cheesedelux;34775047]When a mummy and a daddy love each other very much... And don't use protection...[/QUOTE] No, that's a parasite.

[QUOTE=jordguitar;34774817]Because their detection shit is HORRIBLY BROKEN and SHOULD NOT BE USED EVER[/QUOTE] It's just an automatic system, doesn't take much to trigger it. I can trigger it by changing my fp cookie slightly which is perfectly legit in some cases. Plus stop getting mad at cloudflare, it does its job which is reducing the strain on the main servers while adding a layer of protection from the outside and it's good at it, not perfect but it works.

I didn't get a captcha or anything.

What is the story behind Doug?

[QUOTE=N.A.N.B;34775168]What is the story behind Doug?[/QUOTE] the amount of times people asked this is a story on it's own

[QUOTE=N.A.N.B;34775168]What is the story behind Doug?[/QUOTE] Doug. That is all.

When the universe was created Doug was the first being to come out of it. All known mammalian species evolved from Doug and owe their continued existence to him.

Cloudflare "omg u has virus" page: My desktop PC, which I mostly use for games, forums, etc., and that I'm pretty careful with, got the page. My laptop, which I'm pretty reckless with, and I would think would have gotten a virus recently, didn't get the page. So uh... Doug: wait, who's Doug

That pop-up thing actually helped me out. I decided to do a full system scan just in case. I looked at the date for the last full scan: February 8. I thought, "Hm, don't remember recently doing a scan." Look closer, February 8 2011.

Yeah, the cloudflare virus dealie tripped for me as well. I ran a scan and there's nothing.

Ahaha, that cloudfare page looked so dodgy with those ads
