Trojan attacks

#1

Post by ATDM »

I have detected about two dozen Trojan attacks coming from this site today.

Is anyone else having this problems?
I cling to my God — Jesus Christ.
I love my wife and kids.
I am proud to be an American and Texan.
And... I cling to my guns.

No... And it's unlikely that you're actually getting them from this site. If you post the details of where exactly you're getting alerts from, maybe I can help. Something else may be feeding your browser content.

I will try to figure out, how to pull out the Trojan info from my computer. My McAfee kept popping up quarantine windows indicating the Trojan coming from the forum. I can't seem to find the quarantine folder on the computer.

The warnings have stopped after about 3 minutes of attacks. I am re-scanning the computer now. If and when I locate the file, I will post it here.

Thanks.

Note, not the file -but the page or code indicating that it was loading a trojan..
Again, it's possible to feed content from other sources.
Seen it on any other sites?

Frankly, this is the first time I have had these warning in years...

Hi there, in regards to the Trojans you reported. I have seen the same issue on a windows PC and McAffee anti virus software. It is a while ago but updating Java fixed it.
