Trojan Virus

[vernond]

Just wanted to let you guys know for the 2nd night in a row my virus scan has detected a trojan on the forum website. Don't know if that's anything you can do anything about but just wanted to let you know.

Re: Trojan Virus

I was getting it almost nightly, I turned off Meebo, and it seemed to go away for the most part. I saw Meebo in my virus scanner and immediately turned it off. Not sure if it's the ad's in Meebo or not.

I'm thinking ads. I dont have any through Chrome while I have Meebo and haven't seen any Trojan warnings.

Re: Trojan Virus

Using Chrome with adblocker and with meebo off and haven't really gotten any. I went through a few of the main forums and nothing came up for me.

Re: Trojan Virus

Using Firefox/AdBlock Plus, and Kaspersky Internet Security 2010. Have no hits on anything. Of course all the ads are blocked 110%.

Ads recently have become extremely intrusive with serious malware over the years. Some are harmless as far as computer performance, and resonate as a cookie tracking your actions (like a trojan), but some can be nasty like we seen before.

I am surprised these ad companies that offer their services and packages, do not have better checking of such issues. I can not imagine it is good for business.

Re: Trojan Virus

Got it tonight. I am trying to get rid of it. It sucks.

Re: Trojan Virus

I ran my spy sweeper and it fixed it for me. I hope you guys can figure this out. It really is a bad one. I know have ad block on from Fire fox, so I hope that will work.

Re: Trojan Virus

Did OS get rid of the ads on the sides of the screen? We dont have ad blocker at work and I dont get them at work and havent gotten them for a couple of weeks. Maybe that has to do with the virus.
