How would an antivirus spot SQL Injection, given that is normally instigated from the server code, not the client? Very strange ...

I know... that's what bothers me. And why I said "false positives", it makes not really sense for me.
I edited my rant having the messages in an opened window.

You're not suggesting an anti-virus manufacturer would report spurious messages to make people feel more protected, are you?

Hi Mathew... it happened again.
 
I was just editing a message in the spam forum to add "- gone" to the subject as I always do.
URL: New Discussion[^] (only the ad on Bob's right side) and it is nothing suspicious (one is: Take our 3 minutes survey...[^] and the other is files converter[^] )
the AV jumps when I hit "post message" or "enter" to publish. Several reloads brought nothing. If you need translation of the messages tell me.
I'll try later again
EDIT: I was able to edit the messages before [^] and after[^] it without problems. Only that one is annoying me.

Dear Colleagues,
Today I've visited my professional profile page and noticed that the biography I've posted is missing from my profile. Recently, I've made no change to my biography, but the biography passage I've posted suddenly disappeared from my profiles page.
Can you help me out to correct this ?
Thanks a lot in advance. 
|
|
|
|
|
I'd so much appreciate if someone will help me out to recover my biography texts. It's an urgent question.

Give them a chance! The staff are all in Canadia, and as such are on Toronto Time: GMT-4, so it's currently 06:54 at CodeProject. Give them a couple of hours to get into the office, have a cup of ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) , an so on!

Thanks a lot. I'll be patiently waiting for the problem to be resolved. Also, I've manually restored my biography text, *BUT*, I'm still wondering why my original biography text and time-zone have been unexpectedly modified.
|
|
|
|
|
Can anyone help me out with this problem ? I still have not received any replies from CodeProject's Team. As far as I know, it's already 11:46 in Toronto, but no one has replied.

Thank you very much for your reply, but I've updated the same biography text after I've encountered that it was missing from my profile. And, also, at the present moment, I see that someone has logged onto my profile from a different device. Also, if you've monitored my own activity, you would notice that the time-zone for my profile changes to UTC+2 Jerusalem every time I set the correct time zone. It means that someone else is currently logged on my profile and manually changes the time-zone and other preferences.
Specifically, I'm so much afraid that my account will be unlawfully deleted by someone else who's presently logged in.
I've sent two e-mail messages to Chris Maunder and Sean Ewington with my question about account security issues, but have not received any replies yet.
Can you help me out to protect and secure my account at CodeProject I so much treasure.
I'd kindly so much appreciate.

I'm not staff, so I don't have access to monitor your activity or help you secure your account.
If you suspect someone else has logged in to your account, you should probably change your password.
I haven't seen the link to see which devices I'm logged in from yet. Does it have the option to log out all other sessions?

Sorry for giving this question, but I've already changed the password for my account the number of times, but useless. Also, I've many times logged out all other sessions, but they still reappear. I don't know what to do at this point.
|
|
|
|
|
And also, can you tell the stuff about this problem and my question ?
|
|
|
|

We've discussed this offline (and apologies for the late response - I was up north saying Hi to the bears and deer flies). However, the timezone thing warrants some explanation:
Each time you start a new session we look at your current timezone as reported by your browser and update your settings automatically. Our timezone detection is really only a GMT offset detection so a single offset value (in hrs:mins) corresponds to multiple timezones, and we try and pick the one most likely to be correct. Obviously it's hit and miss.
As long as the timezone offset is correct there's no problem.
cheers

The problem is being resolved, at this point.
Thanks a lot over again. My very kind appreciation.

Do you have any idea how many problems the CodeProject staff have to work on at any one time? Please learn some patience, your problems are no more important than anyone else's. And this one in particular is hardly a show stopper.

|
|

Thanks for clarification, I'm very sorry for speeding up the problem resolution process. Next time, I will patiently waiting for the problem to be resolved.

I've looked at your account and can't see anything strange.
Earlier today we had a number of errors on our caching server that might have resulted in your data being misread.
Since you have 'fixed' your biography, I can't determine if it was a database or a caching issue.
If it happens again, please let us know and let us check it out before you do anything.
Thanks,
Matthew
