hmmmm,seven infected objects so far.

 

[wrafter]

AV on my Mac threw-up nine dodgy files that weren't there on last scan a few days ago. First time in a year (since getting the Mac) that anything has been found.

 

[pete]

i bet they were Java related, were they?

 

[Lili Marlene]

so any idea what exactly these viruses, trojans and the like actually did? Was it "just" getting people's passwords and whatever else they typed or more interesting stuff?

 

[shower another shower]

got this after scan:
Virus "W32/MyDoom-A" detected in MAcHD:Users:Shared:Infected:tfsmlad.scr
Access to the infected denied.

Also had 4 other files that got moved to an 'infected folder' which I trashed.

Anything else I need to do?

Haven't ever scanned before today.

MyDoom is an old Windows virus, and in your case it's infected a windows screensaver file (.scr). I think it's unlikely it was pushed to your Mac (you are on a mac, right?) by anything that happened here.

Haven't ever scanned before today.

See now this is what i'm afraid of - people who've been... shall we say "somewhat relaxed" about their antivirus precautions doing a scan today and finding stuff that's been hanging around for ages.

Oddly enough, I only noticed any issue on Chromium in linux. I was first prompted to install java when I went to the form and did so, thinking you'd started using some new fun shit. Looked around and couldn't find it. Straight away I couldn't get to the forum - the page would load and then straight away redirect to www.google.ie. I decided that it was my dev build of chromium that was acting the ballix and decided not to mail you after a bit of consideration..... I'll do it next time

I thought I was invincible.

 

[bloopitybloop]

My computer is bollixed. Nothing will open. Avg can't do anything apparently cos the infected files are critical system files. What do I do?

 

[pete]

I'd boot to safe mode & run that Microsoft security essentials full scan.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

is it safe to click on ad's now?

 

[pete]

It was always safe to click on ads. The problem was some completely separate code that was being appended to them was opening a 1x1 pixel iframe and the page that loaded in there was running exploit testing code.
