There is a program being loaded onto comps. I having a helluva time right now cleaning my Moms two comps
She visited a site, it's called "BBW". I asked what the full name is. She doesn't remember much else about it. Until I find out more, please be careful. It has a password stealer and browser hijacker. I couldn't even find it in the history file as todays history is wiped clean. All I can tell you right now is that it puts a fake program on your comp that says you're infected with numerous trojans... DO NOT CLICK ON THE ICON ON YOUR DESKTOP, DO NOT CLICK ON THE POP UPS, DO NOT TRY TO OPEN THE PROGRAM. GET YOUR LATEST UPDATES FOR ANIT VIRUS AND SPYWARE DETECTORS AND DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET, THEN RUN THEM. My suggestion is to set the heuristics to aggresive... One sure way to tell if this is bogus AV ware is that it says it detected a trojan on July24, 2009... I'll repost more when I find out anything,,, |

Not sure why but Norton didn't catch until I updated and rescanned full, she might have only done a quick scan... |

One sure way to tell if this is bogus AV ware is that it says it detected a trojan on July24, 2009... I'll repost more when I find out anything,,, She did not just land on a website and get any virus unless her security settings are set to automatically install unsigned controls. Nobody is at that setting. She had to have clicked on a dialog that either said "you need to download //xxxxxxx/ to view this web page" or she clicked some other dialog to accept something. There is NEVER any website that can detect if you have a virus, trojan, etc without you FIRST allowing it to load an ActiveX, or other script control. Websites have no access to scan your system unless you load a control or application to do so. If any website says "your system is infected.....", its a scam and will probably infect you once you click any button. Smitfraud works like this. If you get this message press ALT-F4 to close the windows. Do NOT click the YES or NO buttons on the dialog box. The programmer decides the methods executed for these buttons OnClick events and the forms (dialog box) BeforeClose, OnClose, BeforeExit and OnExit events. YOu should never install toolbars or other BHOs unless you KNOW exactly what it is and who makes it. No cursors, screensavers, either. If you download FREE anything, it's likely not good. YOu also should NEVER open any email attachment without knowing it's sender, and then never any attachments with executable extensions. These include: ADE - Microsoft Access Project Extension ADP - Microsoft Access Project BAS - Visual Basic Class Module BAT - Batch File CHM - Compiled HTML Help File CMD - Windows NT Command Script COM - MS-DOS Application CPL - Control Panel Extension CRT - Security Certificate DLL - Dynamic Link Library DO* - Word Documents and Templates EXE - Application HLP - Windows Help File HTA - HTML Applications INF - Setup Information File INS - Internet Communication Settings ISP - Internet Communication Settings JS - JScript File JSE - JScript Encoded Script File LNK - Shortcut MDB - Microsoft Access Application MDE - Microsoft Access MDE Database MSC - Microsoft Common Console Document MSI - Windows Installer Package MSP - Windows Installer Patch MST - Visual Test Source File OCX - ActiveX Objects PCD - Photo CD Image PIF - Shortcut to MS-DOS Program POT - PowerPoint Templates PPT - PowerPoint Files REG - Registration Entries SCR - Screen Saver SCT - Windows Script Component SHB - Document Shortcut File SHS - Shell Scrap Object SYS - System Config/Driver URL - Internet Shortcut (Uniform Resource Locator) VB - VBScript File VBE - VBScript Encoded Script File VBS - VBScript Script File WSC - Windows Script Component WSF - Windows Script File WSH - Windows Scripting Host Settings File XL* - Excel Files and Templates And you should always have an >>updated<< anti-virus/anti-malware program loaded and running resident. If you are only running an Anto-virus program, it will only find VIRUSES, not simple spyware or malware. Everyone operating a PC should know all this or it's just an accident waiting to happen. |
