I tried to log on at about 4 this afternoon and up popped that really scarey figure from AVG telling me I've got a virus in the works.Done a complete system check and the infection I got is now quarantined although it appears I cannot quarantine or heal all these malicious files but I'm hoping no further damage can be done. I haven't had many viruses infect my pc but when the AVG program tells you cannot move them to the virus vault, (omg, a virus which avg is telling me I have but cannot quarantine) it makes me feel a bit worried about how powerful these trogans are and are they removed or rendered harmless before damaging other files. AVG is very good at detecting bugs but what's more important is actually getting rid of the damn things.

The files were java veri bytes something or other in the temp internet folders.

It makes me so angry that some people enjoy wreaking havoc on innnocent web users. :rant:

Did anybody else get a shock this afternoon.

Yep i got it, booted up pc in safe mode, turned off system restore where the filth can hide, ran avg which picked it up, put into virus vault, no problems, this is a good prog and its free, ASQUARED FROM EMISOFT, scans your comp for malware infections, scans and cleans malware files, viruses, trojans, spyware, if you choose to download it, update it first then run it

I'm getting the error message too and I didn't get the email! Help!

 

[midlanderkeith]

I have to admit I did panic...txt OH we had trouble...
He got home and checked everything and we was ok thankfully  :blink:

Aparently we have 3 different anti-virus and spyware thingy's going on all at the same time    :wacko:

My OH say Norton is a bit rubbish cos it doesn't catch all the virus's and doesn't stop all the spyware...for the money you pay for it, it should do  :rant:

I'd love to know why these  :rant:   :rant: want to spoil the enjoyment of other people???

Did a scan on Norton Antivirus and nothing detected BUT when I try to use my assistant to call up recent posts, this message comes up  
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: clean_int_array() in /home/book17r/public_html/forums/sources/search.php on line 83

Nigel, what does this mean? :wacko:

Yes, sorry, I know the search is broken - I'll try & sort that out later. It's not really a problem at the moment.

 

[fallenangel]

just an extra warning I have 2 emali adys only one of witch is used on k9 at all yet it was the oether that reseverd the email my yahoo on so check any and all email accounts for it and delete them just check tonys compuer and alexs acounts aswell

 

[boom]

i must be the only person on ere not to be effected

for every1 using avg you need to get a better antivirus cos

its not as good as it made out to be..

altho it says your computer is clean ther will be certain files it not delete

and ther the files that need removing

i would recomend (bitdefender 9 pro)

its got antispam firewall and anti virus in one

i never had any problems with this program

:thumbsup:

 

[imperative]

glad its sorted,well done nigel

 

[nutter]

i forgot i had joined this site. the virus email brought me back and lukily i didnt open it. and ran a scan. is it possible the anti-hunting movement was behind the breach due to the content regarding working dogs.

 

[SophiaChelsea]

I got the virus email sent this morning to me in Italy...luckily I didnt open it as the wording was rather childish and we suspected it may not be from your site. Thank goodness it is now blocked on the firewall.

 

[Crystal]

Yes - we got a Trojan virus can't remember which one but it was blocked, wasn't sent an e-mail but am getting the error message.

it happened to a few sites last week that I use,

seems to be aimed at invision hosted boards.

Yes, it was a specific exploit against IPB boards and happened to many IPB driven boards over the last few days. Hopefully the vulnerability is now fixed.

I didn't get an email and did a virus scan last night. Found one trojan threat. I still keep getting error mssg when trying to view some posts. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. Any idea why?

 

[Janimal]

K9 seems ok this morning for me anyway. but have noticed - cannot view my recent posts or recent topics either. My last post yesterday was to a very strange message - a garbled one - in some sort of code by a new K9 member - - was this the culprit Nigel then.

Yeah McAfee is much the same & went after those old trogans all right. Normally it warns me about stuff but lets me continue what I was doing if I so choose. Not yesterday tho, it wasnt having any of it. Coudnt clean em, couldnt quarantine em, in fact coulnt do anything much till I killed the critters. Went on last night at work at about 9 as OH texted to say all seemed ok, all was ok. Tried to go back on at 05 30, today and was barred by a new Google based virus guard that Ive never seen before. So glad that I didnt have Ninas bad luck tho otherwise Id be lookin for a new job today. By the way, OH got the Email but I didnt. Cant thank McAfee enough, had Norton for years & this wipes the floor with it.
