Ferret Master Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hi, Earlier on today I had problems getting on to the forum because as soon as I got onto the main page a virus would download called a Trojan Download. And while norton antivirus was fixing it the forum menu would blank and when I would go on it next time the same thing would happen. I know natures son also had this problem as I contacted him via msn. Did anybody else have this problem? FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I`ve had it twice and Norton fixed it automatically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hi, Did you have it twice today? Norton fixed mine automatically but it kept happening. It seems fine now. I assume it was some sort of virus that is ont the forum for some reason. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apbuild Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Had the same problems. AVG found the infections and put them into a virus vault. Have no clue how to fully delete them though. Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run AVG and let me know if it finds about 6 viruses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Any Anti Virus programme would have caught it, the worse you may have had to do is to alter the time and date on your PC. If the Virus has been put in the Vault, or quarantined, there is nothing else you need to do, as its been neutralised. I thought it might have come in via one of those comedy video clips sites, that people post on here. They have more spyware than a hedgehog has fleas. :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Lord Geordie, I assume you have an Anti Virus programme, that will stop it. If not, I recommend the free programme from here, http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
