Danger!!

I just got attacked by some Trojans while on Corrente. I didn't have any other internet applications open at the time, so it had to come through here.

I just wanted to send lambert a heads up about it.

And this isn't supposed to be on the front page, but this system doesn't like me.

Whatever it is it is nasty

Trojan.Vundo; Trojan Fakeavalert; and a couple of others have been removed. My Intrusion protection was disabled on my Norton's, and now I can't get access to my advanced protection,

I am about to leave work, and will be shutting this computer down so as to contain the damage on our network.

Well, what did you click on?

The only thing that's new is the bailout widget, which is not very good. Let me disable that immediately. Otherwise, it's Google ads or PayPal -- not likely. Yes?

I don't know

I was just looking around, reading the Solve I/P thread, when BOOM, my norton's starts denying access to a whole bunch of internet accesses, then Ghei & BDSM porn show up as shortcuts on my desktop.

My nortons removed a couple of viruses, but I see where it did allow some access to some low risk threats, which is what I think caused it, b/c it won't scan all the files on my compter, so I think my norton's program was tampered with. I get to spend my monday morning dealing with that, yea!

It may not have been from here, but here and Shakesville is all I was looking at about the time it happened. I just wanted to give you a warning, in case the site had been hacked or something. Since it's still working, I'm going to guess not, but you can never be too sure.

It WOULD be the I/P thread...

I use the ISP that I do because the protection is really good. One can never be too careful, but....

That's automatic.
