Its Me 10 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Since Sunday I keep getting a virus warning every time I log into scouter.com. Some nasty trojan thing. My virus software prompts me to remove it but the virus alert returns the next time I log in. And this is only occuring at this site. Link to post Share on other sites
dan 10 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Not getting that, but last night it wanted to download chinese char., getting errors that the site wants to run active X. Link to post Share on other sites
John-in-KC 311 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Have you: - Purged your cache? - Purged your history? - Run your AV on a complete sweep of your PC? Do you have: - AdAware (or equivalent) installed? - Spybot (or equivalent) installed? (I use not one but two malware checkers; over the years I've found using just one causes misses now and then). Have you checked your firewall settings or your HW firewall? - www.grc.com (Gibson Research) and their ShieldsUp app is a tool I use to make sure I'm in control of the software ports on my PC. Is your home network, if wireless, encrypted and password protected... with other than the manufacturer's defaults?? I've not experienced what you describe from scouter.com, but I have elsewhere at other times. It could be something being passed along by Scouters ad provider through the portal.

Its Me 10 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 It happens at work with mountains of fire walls and at home with open wifi. Here is the message.

packsaddle 753 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I'm getting it when I come to the web site and I'm working on a huge variety of nets across the country right now...traveling. I also have multiple virus and adware stuff. It is the same trojan horse you just mentioned. In addition, my pop-up blocker stops an add-on to outlook.exe. I sent a message to the scouter.com staff about it just now. Link to post Share on other sites
eagle90 125 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I too am having problems. I got the Chinese message yesterday and keep getting "Done, but with errors on page". The site is extremely slow to the point of freezing up my computer. Let's hope the management can fix this situation soon. Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 732 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 No problems here, either home or at work. The site is slower than most, and sometimes times out, but I'm learning to live with it. Link to post Share on other sites
Merlyn_LeRoy 72 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 scouter.com seemed to have been down for a large part of Sunday, maybe they got hacked. Exploit-YIMCAM is a new trojan, only a couple of weeks old: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_142468.htm Link to post Share on other sites
Its Me 10 Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 The virus warning isn't coming up today. Someone at Scouter.com must of gone in and cleared it out. Link to post Share on other sites
John-in-KC 311 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Last night, on the home PC, I did not get the virus, but did get the opportunity to download simplified Chinese. The front end at the office is strong enough, apparently. Link to post Share on other sites
dan 10 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 This is what keeps coming up on my pop up blocker. \http : //g.ignfile.cn/flash/imags.htm edit to not make it a link!(This message has been edited by dan) Link to post Share on other sites
