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

    Macs have viruses too, granted not as many and not as common but still, they arent totaly safe.

    And linux? Well, you try to install and maintain that cranky OS, you dont need viruses for Linux, it is painfull as it is.

    PS:

    seems that Linux also got a virus or two

    PSPS: oh, my firefox never ever got me a virus on MMORPG or anywhere else so far. IE is evil!

    I am the type of player where I like to do everything and anything from time to time.

    Just make sure your firewall is on and your anti-virus is updated.

    If you need a good free antivirus, I recommend http://avast.com

    Do you need a link to the latest security patches for OSX? Oh, by the way , if you need to stay with OS9 for your applications you are out of luck for a DST fix.

    I can supply links for Linux and Firefox also.

    Alright I believe I've eradicated this again and am working on securing the hole in our network from letting this happen again.  If you all see this again on the site please send me an email directly to ben@mmorpg.com

    Just a heads up guys, I tried to reply to a message a few minutes ago, and my AVG just picked up the same trojan downloader again.  I emailed ben@mmorpg.com about it, but the problem is not completely fixed yet.

    Yes its continuing, I'm checking from the corporate box which is highly protected but it comes up pretty much everytime i refresh the page or move to a different forum or a different topic. Basically anytime the ads change it pops up, espcially when the add for gorgeous gamers is up at the top.

    Taken directly from my alert notification window after it kills it.

    Scan type:  Auto-Protect Scan

    Event:  Security Risk Found!

    Risk: Trojan.Anicmoo

    Thanks for the heads up, I'm having a hard time nailing this one down since it seems to be intermittent.  In any event I've shut down the site until I work this out.
