Virus ??

[Hangar-7]

My computer detected a "trojan virus" while browsing RCHA. Just a coincidence when Stuart moved to a new ISP ?

Where were you browsing? which bits? If I can reproduce it I can probably track it's source....

Don't think Stuart has moved the forum yet.

I believe he is just making backups at the moment in readiness for the move. That's why the gallery is down atm.

It happened this morning when i received a PM from trillian was about to read it. I was on the home page and I posted the thread within 2 or 3 min (@ 11:34-11:37) after detecting the virus. Hope this help.

It would be interesting to see if you can detect the soruce.

Oh I can trace the source... but only if I can reproduce the isse and have the malware try to infect me, which is unlikely given the info. If you had other IE windows or tabs open it may be nothing to do with RCHA site.

[Stuart]

Nothings changed in the site I only backup all the files and db.

[EtheAv8r]

TBH I do not think the malware came from RCHA....

[MartinH]

False-Positive perhaps.

Possibly, but unlikely if he has decent protection (i.e. not a free one).... Lots of people are infected with malware but don't know it. Malware nowadays is about data theft or making money.

PS: notice the DSOTM paint scheme on my Jabiru?

Hmmmmmm... free software ? .. I use Avast and Windows Vista. Wonder how safe am I?

I do not think I had any other tab open.. haven't touched IE for last 8 months. Mozelli for me.

[EtheAv8r]

OK whatever the Browser, it does not matter, I just used IE as it is the most common.

As to wondering how safe you are, you have read my post on how to keep your Home PC reasonably secure, so you have to answer that one for yourself. :cheers2:

Firstly my name is not "Ed"
Secondly you could have done what I had to do to find the post, and used Search, particularly as.....
Thirdly it was a post in response to one of your own theads!!!! [URL]http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/main-discussions/29323-internet-security-3.html[/URL]
Clearly I was wasting my time when I tried to help you originally.
