Virus????

in The Pub at MMORPG.COM

My Virus software is detecting a trojan horse virus everytime I load a MMORPG page.  This just started about 3 minutes ago.  What's going on??

    pm/e-mail ben@mmorpg.com with details (warning message from your anti-virus program).

    Yes it's the same Torjan Downloader JS virus as before.

    In addition, there's another Malware (Modification) that my virus program has detected called:

    Exploit.Win32.IMG-ANI.gen

    The other one we're getting is the same one we got before:

    Trojan-Downloader.JS.Agent.eb

    Once again, these viruses are being sent to us via the MMORPG.com website, in temporariy IE files. Someone needs to be in trouble for this. Not only are you guys sending us viruses, it's the SAME ONES as before.

    so one that does alert a trojan and deletes it isn't a good anti-virus program?  i would like to know actually when it finds one and what it did with it (in this case deleted it).  yours on the other hand doesn't let you know at all which i wouldn't like.

    I think this convosation could go on for a very long time, so just to stop it, i'm going to say you win

     This is like the 5th or 6th time this has happened in the last few months and seems MMORPG isnt doing sh*t to protect its members.

     Put some money up MMORPG.COM and track the IP of these losers and bring them down!

    I see it as well.

    I can't beleive MMORPG.com has been hit yet again with this stupid thing in sucha short period of time.      Whats going with the site?  They get this stupid thing on their site so often?    What is this, the 3rd time in  alittle under a month, Or  is it the fourth.

     

     

    to the person below me.     I would be scared even more about going to a site with something like firefox that i know is spreading a virus. Because who knows whats out here thats actually built to exploit flaws in it.     As far as any virus goes.      I find my 3rd party firewall works just fine , since I have installed it.  I never autuomatically allow any program to pass thru it. Might be one reason why.  Not saying it can't be beaten , im just saying it hasn't been beaten yet.    Just it seems to do the job I haven't picked up a stupid

    well seem that it's been found and stopped or Firefox isn't affected as i just run through over 60 page's of mmo's and didn't find it once yet when i was using IE when it first got detected McAfee was going barmy

    i agree that it's getting silly but maybe down to the fact they have so many links that any of the sights that the firewall allows might be to blame.

    and with the 100+ post and 10,000+ visitors per hour it would put any virus program under a strain.



    at the end of the day if you don't have a virus check running 24/7 on your own P.C you shouldn't be on the net.



    p.s



    i fixed your spelling errors lol

    voted don't care as i said in my other post if you have a virus killer then you have nothing to worry about also it seems to only attack IE so blame Gate's not MMORPG

    OSX and Linux are free from that crap.  Try that. ;-)

    yeah I'm pretty famous for my  poor typing skills. I generally try to fix errors as  fast as I can when I notice them.  I generally proof read before submitting , But I don't always catch them all.   So I end up editing once or twice after a post to fix everything I over looked. You happened to catch me while I was actually in the middle of an edit.
