Trojan problem

[the_bee52]

When I went on the forums today mcafee found a trojan but it keeps coming up time after time. So I'm just asking if something got into the forums and others have the same problem or if my computers acting funky on me.

Try downloading, running, and installing Trojan Hunter and/or Trojan Remover and you'll be able to see if there really is one. I'm getting issues with Norton Antivirus popping up with "Trojan Alerts" yet when I run a full scan with Norton no viruses are found. Norton and Mcafee both suck at finding trojans so never rely on them to tell you... just go with the trojan-removing programs I named earlier and you'll be good to go.

Yes, it is the forums.. I too get these trojan and virus warnings. I'm using antivir.

Should be fixed now.

Thanks. I uploaded my clam anti-virus software. If you didn't
know, I scan all incoming and outgoing mail on the server with clam
av. I haven't downloaded a virus in a email in a long time since I
installed it. I update the virus database every hour too.

But this wouldn't stop somebody from uploading some web stuff that
could cause issues. The iframe thing is something (like most of them)
that go after vulnerabilites with Internet Explorer (or as I call it
Internet Exploder) or some other windows thing. So I scanned the the
www directory with latest update of clamav and removed the files. The
oversized zip ones are no big deal, but there was a post in your
forums that had some windows thing. I deleted them all. The big zip
ones looks like ns and nobody playing that any more.

I hope you and all your friends are using Firefox for web browser. If
not you should. Faster, safer, and has tabbed browsing. And runs on
all os's, not just windoze.

Thanks,
Stefan

I call it "Internet Exploiter".. In fact, I renamed the title to that. ^_^.

I love the registry.



Only thing I don't like about firefox is it parses html differently than IE, but you and wha saw that already on that thing.
