Well, you would say that, wouldn’t you, Mr. Robot? You’ll slip up eventually and admit to it… Then we’ll all know.

I keep getting a screen with the following Address

https://www.in-depthoutdoors.com/community/forums/topic/robot/

and I have to click the box that I am not a robot

and then verify by selecting images that meet a certain criteria.

One more step
Please complete the security check to access http://www.in-depthoutdoors.com
Why do I have to complete a CAPTCHA?

Completing the CAPTCHA proves you are a human and gives you temporary access to the web property.
What can I do to prevent this in the future?

If you are on a personal connection, like at home, you can run an anti-virus scan on your device to make sure it is not infected with malware.

If you are at an office or shared network, you can ask the network administrator to run a scan across the network looking for misconfigured or infected devices.

CloudFlare Ray ID: 29d6f374826f420d • Your IP: 24.197.213.222 • Performance & security by CloudFlare

What browser are you using? If you are using IE you may want to try Chrome or Firefox. Our web firewall will block false IE user agents but these are related to trojan and worm infections scanning the internet.

If you could let me know what your user agent string is that’d be great. Cloudflare doesn’t have the Ray ID logged anywhere which is odd (I am told).

Thanks!

You may also want to give one of these a try just in case.

Not sure about symantec’s scanner – many years ago when I used windows on my desktop it seemed like norton anti-virus was about as bad as having a virus. (as far as resource hogs go)

No, no, no! What are you guys doing? You’re telling the robot how to defeat the system man!

Don’t you watch any movies, like, ever? The freaking robots take over the Earth and we’re all doomed. Thanks very much for handing them the keys.

Don’t worry – these bots aren’t that advanced. yet. lol

And I’m back.

I ran a number of the searches and cleaners I have.
It removed all the usual temp files etc.
Then I shutdown
turned the network off for the evening
and brought everything back up this AM.

It seems I am no longer a robot.
Good to know as I was getting worried
( but then, robots don’t worry,
or, maybe they have learned to have those symptoms as well)

Thanks for the suggestions about malware, etc.

FYI, I use Firefox
I don’t think I captured the useragent yesterday it was reporting.

I white listed your your IP address so that should keep you from getting challenged. It doesn’t look like you’re on a static IP so at some point it will change.

Hey Dave…Now I’m getting this message. It started yesterday afternoon. I’m running the latest version of Firefox. I also get it on two other computers here at home (all Win 7) and I get it with Firefox AND IE V. 11. it only has happened with a few websites. IDO, Orvis News, and one other one I can’t remember. I don’t see it when I go to ESPN, FB, Gmail, etc.

If it was a virus in this computer I don’t understand why it would happen with two other computers the same way.

I’m running Malwarebytes and Super anti-spyware.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I have Cloudflare’s security setting on High, I believe. I’ll lower it and see if that helps.

Actually security is at medium. What ever it is on your system it is making you look suspicious in Cloudflare’s view.

What does google see your user agent as?

Just copy and paste here. Thanks!

As soon as I get home I’m on it. Thanks Dave!!

Here it is Dave:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0

Thanks

That seems fine to me – can’t see why Cloudflare would have issue with it.

Your IP is on one black list that I can see.
https://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check

Not sure if that is the problem though. (is only one)

I’ll add your current IP to the firewall white list. That should help for now.

OK. I also shut off Malware bytes and as of right now everything is working normally again.

Thanks for the help Dave! You rock

I spoke to soon. After it a reboot it is till throwing up that capcha screen thing. So the search goes on.

VPN

I got your IP address wrong when I added it to the firewall. I corrected it so you should be good to go until it changes.

Thanks!
