Virus?!

[Cllzzrd19]

i got the same warning, while i was at school...

[Strava]

I have several bookmarks to take me to different sections of LO.
And it does not matter where I come in I DON'T get the trojan warning on the first page.
I get it when I go to the second page.

For example this time I came in with my bookmark for the USER CP page.
No warnings.
I saw there were new posts in this thread so I clicked the link to come here.
As soon as the second LO page starts loading I get the Trojan Warning.

I can recreate this sequence at will.
I.E.
Come in on the forum and go to the gallery. Trojan warning loading gallery page.
Come in on the gallery and go to the forum. Trojan warning loading forum page.
Come in on the forum main and go to a sub forum. Trojan warning loading sub forum page.
Etc etc etc.

Hope this helps.

As eziekeal said, just get a mac, there are maybe 200 viruses in the world for them. Most simply make a bunch of popups occur.

Oh now that's just so easy -_- I think I'll just go outside and WHOA insta-mac <_< Besides, mac sucks :tongue: Just kidding. But really, it's not that easy to just go and get a mac as you say.

OK point is we appear to have some less thasn appropriate Java script somewhere on the site, are people still getting the warning?

I did get a warning too about 4 days ago.

Never had a warning on either IE (with Windows Server 2003 Firewall) or on Firefox (with Sygate Pro Firewall).

Could this be due to some script in one of the ad banners rather than on the main site? that could explain why it seems to appear and dissapear for certain members?

[Cheredanine]

quite possible although someone is saying they can replicate it, which would imply it is not a random thing

I am still getting 2 trojan warnings.
Yes I can replicate it as follows:

I can go to any LO page. No warnings.
Click on any link to go to a second LO page. 2 Trojan warnings.
Continue navigating around LO. No more warnings.

Close the LO web page.

Go to any LO web page. No warnings.
Click on any link to go to a second LO page. 2 Trojan warnings.
Continue navigating around LO. No more warnings.

Close the LO web page.

Repeat.....

As I mentioned before, McAfee is reporting that NEWS.HTML and OPEN.EXE are infected.

Maybe not my place to say this, but i am going to anyway as I think the community has a right to know.

In the Mod forum, Blackhat has confirmed that a minor Trojan has installed itself in some of the forum code.

He has also linked us to this http://www.systemsmanagementpipeline.com/news/172302797 , which includes the following...
