PAX Swag Giveaway

[NintendoGal]

Figured I'd throw this in here since some like free swag.

Anyway I'm running a contest on my site for a giant swag pack that I gathered while I attended PAX 08. There will be 3 prizes and since I know not many people enter contests on my site, there's a good chance you'll win if you enter. Nothing hard, just need to send an e-mail according to the post.

[killer9]

[NintendoGal]

Hmm? Have any other information? As far as I'm aware it's a false positive. If it's something else please let me know as I'm not trying to give away free viruses. >_<;

[Interstella 5555]

Thanks OP, entered.

[NintendoGal]

Ok, I've installed AVG, no pop up, it scanned it and said it was safe. The only thing I've been told is a script for CustomCMS comes up (using NoScript). I believe that script is used to connect to the CCMS server to ensure my site has a valid license to run CCMS. I can make 100% certain though if people are afraid.

Would anyone like to shed any light on the subject? Any logs or anything you've got?

[underliness]

I turned on a fully updated AVG with Firefox and got nothing other then Firefox blocking a pop up. Thanks for the contest.

HTML/Infected.WebPage.Gen

Description:
A common attack against the web infrastructure can be the infection of harmless web pages. Some malware changes every HTML file stored on the disc and adds a link (very often an IFrame) to a site hosting malicious code. Other attacks can aim for the web servers and try to insert forwarding to the pages hosted there. The owner of these pages is advised to take them offline. Fix the hole (either on his own PC or on the server), check the pages for infections, clean them and go online again. Infected Web Pages often contain additional Iframe, Object or Script Tags. The Script Tags often contain encrypted Code.

Virus: HTML/Infected.WebPage.Gen Date

Doing some internet research just now I ran across this page:

Specifically the portion:

Fixed: False positives
HEUR/HTML.Malware
HTML/Infected.WebPage.Gen
HTML/Rce.GenI'll have my host run a virus scan on the files to be on the safe side though. Thanks for the copy/paste, helps narrow things down! :)

[NintendoGal]

lol, how many entries have you gotten? Might want to check out those who have multiple entries. :-#

Nearly 200 at this point. If anyone has entered multiple times (and I will check all IPs etc) it invalidates their entries.

[Tribblewars]

Gave it a shot....Thanks

[Oktoberfest]

entered, too! thanks

[Ghostcri]

Is a WoW pet card in the swag?

[siderealshift]

Looks like there's some cool stuff in there.

Entered, thanks!

[Cleaner7]

Thanks for the contest! I just entered. And I agree that the Fallout 3 poster is sexy. :drool:

[NintendoGal]

Is a WoW pet card in the swag?

No. If I had won one of those I would have kept it to be honest since I play WoW way too much. >_>

[Ghostcri]

No. If I had won one of those I would have kept it to be honest since I play WoW way too much. >_>

[Plac1d]

*Drum rolls*

" And now, I'd like to proudly announce the PAX 2008 Swag awards for best of show goes to..."

*NintendoGal fumbles with envelope*

[NintendoGal]

LOL, I'm waiting to hear back from the winners before I announce them formally. It also took awhile to go through 200+ entries and make sure there were no dups. :(

[matth00lt]

Aww...no email = no win for me. Congrats to those that did win though.
