I'm having a problem figuring out why my pc suddenly won't let me access dokuga. My favorites link was erased somehow and it won't let me view anything at all. I've checked to see if I hit a wrong key somewhere and restricted it but that's not it. I checked my antivirus and everything's normal there too. I'm stumped!! Any suggestions I can try to get this fixed?

I don't know why all your links would have disappeared but for some reason today Avast decided this site was MALWARE and blocked it from loading. What antivirus are you running?

Yep I've got avast too. My daughter said hers told her it was an image on the website causing the malware warning. I'm updating avast and I've put it on the trusted sites list. Crossing my fingers!

It must be avast then. I'll do that as well so I can (hopefully) get this to stop.

Woot! Ok, hopefully I've fixed this! I updated avast and put dokuga on the exclusion list urls and now I've got access on my pc for the moment. Still wondering why avast flagged the site though... Gonna be looking for a different antivirus looks like lol!

I had the same problems today. Avast blocked Dokuga's URl as malware and I could not access the site. Can anyone tell me if the problem has been solved. Thank you!

How do you safelist something? I can't figure it out.Nevermind I got it working now.

Well I put it on the exclusion list and it still blocks it. I hope this gets fixed soon. I think not positive I have it strait now. Sorry for the double post.

I've sent Mitharus a PM asking if he can shed light on it.

We did have hack on Wednesday of this past week, but I was fairly sure that, between the host company and Mitharus, they caught everything.

I've had no trouble with Norton or Malwarebytes as far as the site is concerned, so maybe it's just Avast?

I can safelist it for a while but then it starts blocking again. I have no idea why it's doing this. Hopefully Mitharus can figure it out.

Thanks for letting Mitharus know about the avast troubles we're having Wiccan! I think it's just avast also.


Avalei, on avast if you updated go to settings then scroll down to exclusions. From there click the url tab and add dokuga's url to the exclusion list and hit add then ok. Mine is doing ok so far.

Once again it started to block the site. I have the address on the exclusion list but it still blocks it. Is yours still working right mango? I have the free version on my laptop if that makes a difference.

I've got Norton, and although I *can* get through to the site, Norton has registered it as a "Identity Threat", and basically warns me that I proceed at my own risk. Hope this helps. -Shi, Tana-san's daughter.

I have the free version also and as of this morning I can still access the site on my pc.

Mine still registers it as a threat. I have to temporarily turn off my shields to access the site. Edit: sometimes it will let me on and sometimes not.

I haven't had a problem myself, but I use AVG AntiVirus. Had way too many problems in the past with Avast and Norton.

Me neither and I use a commercial antivirus. No flags or warnings for Dokuga being weird. Odd.

I would suggest that everyone scan their PC's with their antivirus program and an anti-spyware/adware program too. Malwarebytes is good, but the 'free' trial edition available for download is expired, and has old definition files so it won't catch everything new that might have attached itself to your PC.

You'd need the commercial version for that, or you could use the freeware versions of Lavasoft's free Antivirus and Antispyware or things like Spybot - Search and Destroy - the free version.

Could account for some problems, not all of course.

The was an issue with DNS where someone was running some sites, not *on* the dokuga.com host, but under the domain. It's possible that the site got added onto some blacklists that different software uses. [1]

If anyone who is having issues can PM me with what they use, I can see if I can dig up what the list are used, and how to get hosts removed off of them. Normally for *web* blocking, it's much more difficult because they don't like saying what they're actually blocking. :/

-M

[1] - A wildcard entry was added to DNS that pointed to some other IP address. So... blah.blah1.dokuga.com was pointing to some other host. Whee!

Since this seems to be Avast, I've sent a message over their contact form to get the site removed, or see what needs to be done to get the site removed.

We'll see where this goes from there... :/

Thank you for all your help!!!

Some of our members are blocked on Avast and won't access the site until Avast tells them it's okay... I know it's the prudent thing to do, but since we've already cleared out the threat, maybe a little overly cautious? *sigh*

Stupid spam/hacker/idiots!!!!!

Hi Pyre!!

I'm using the pro version of Malwarebytes, and not getting any hiccups with it. Also, the paid version of Norton... still nothing. I pay for both because I use my business computer to access the site when I'm at work - don't want any cooties from anything here, y'know?

AVG is still being a jerk with this site on my computer. Gonna have to mess with it later.

I've sent a request in on AVG's site as well.

Thank you for the help Wiccan and Mitharus. I really hope they can get everything worked out.

Avast made me angry enough to uninstall it. If I put something on the exclusions list, then it should do what I told it to! Ugh. Husband abandoned Avast a while ago because of issues but it had never been a problem before. Looks like I'm following him after all.
