Golf Sim Clubhouse Forum

Bitdefender keeps blocking this site. Anyone else have issues with that or know what causes it.

Yes, my Bitdefender and Malwarebytes is throwing up alerts.

I sent a PM to the moderators but no reply yet.

Thanks for the heads up. There are no signs I can find that the site has been hacked so I've submitted a request for them to check into it as a false positive.

You can submit issues like this to me. Normally Viper would notify me as well if you send him a message but he has not been online since May 3rd. I'm not sure what's up as it's not like him to be gone that long. I'm hoping everything is OK with him and he'll be back soon.

I haven't heard anything back on this but I did find that there was a spam bot abusing the contact us form, sending messages to an e-mail address I wasn't checking, so I wonder if this had something to do with it. I've installed an extension similar to the one already on the board to stop spam forum posts that will do the same for the contact us form. Let me know if you guys are still seeing issues.

Randy sent me a note that he was still seeing this issue, and he tracked it down to Malwarebytes reporting the GSVT utility as an issue. I believe this is a false positive as it is a heuristic detection rather that an actual match of something. I have submitted a report to Malwarebytes here:

If they come back saying there is something wrong with the file, I will remove it. One way or another we will hopefully get to the bottom of this issue now.

It looks like this is probably an http vs https issue. Specifically the link to the GSVT tool was http, and there may be a few other links on this forum that are like that. Eventually I'll setup the website to redirect all http links to https but for now if you encounter one of these links and it doesn't work, just copy the URL, paste it in your address bar, and add an s after http.

I just went through and fixed all of the links to https in Viper's sticky threads. That should pretty much cover it. I think you'll rarely encounter this issue anywhere now.

Thanks Brian,

It come up clean, no warnings.
