BridLupo Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 (edited) No this wasn't an email virus it uploaded itself when you came on the forum. Firefox blocked it for me but being daft i opened the forum in IE and the virus exploited IE. AVG popped up. I had got a Trojan Horse that hides in .wmf files and a virus that has something to do with memory. Had to spend the evening removing them both.I'm going to be honest here the forum was quite fine until i posted this comment on this thread http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=19977. Five minutes later the forum was fecked. Edited May 8, 2006 by BridLupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicki Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Yeah, there was a member sign up at 1.41 this afternoon, post a thread which *looked* like complete rubbish, except that I happened to notice they'd somehow managed to get themselves into the Admin group.By the time I told Jon what I'd noticed, I'd had an email allegedly from Club Lupo with a .exe attachment, which I deleted & then reported that to Jon. He took the forum offline about 2pm for a while to sort it but unfortunately it needed more than a quick fix, hence it going back offline this evening.

Joe Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I'd be wary mate. If the executable was a trojan horse it may not 'appear' to do anything but really its running in the background. give your system a full scan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Photon Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 (edited) I have this nice little virus currently infecting 12 files on my hardrive: JAVA/BYTEVERIFYAVG can't get rid of it as its embedded in the files or something like that style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> Edited May 8, 2006 by Phantom Photon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridLupo Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I have this nice little virus currently infecting 12 files on my hardrive: JAVA/BYTEVERIFYAVG can't get rid of it as its embedded in the files or something like that style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />I had 1 virus that infected 19 files. They were all temporty internet files of the Java variety. AVG saw them but couldn't get rid of them. After a google search CCleaner was promptly downloaded and the files cleaned up. Did another scan and they are all gone now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_want_a_GTI Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 so how do you find these files if anti virus cant find them, or should i just assume if antivirus cant find them then they are not there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 i ended up with 5 infected files , all the java ones ,and all in the temp internet files so there all gone now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Photon Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 so how do you find these files if anti virus cant find them, or should i just assume if antivirus cant find them then they are not thereIf the anti virus can't find them then the probably aren't there.Top tip from the AVG website for the Java/byteverify virus that I got from the Club Lupo website:If you have the virus called Java/ByteVerify, your AVG Anti-Virus cannot get rid of this alone so if you are having troubles finding a way to get rid of it, here is a step by step guide for removal. -Go to your control panel -(if in windows XP change over to the classic mode by clicking the link on the left just under your toolbars) -Open Java Plug-in -Click on the Cache tab -Click clear -To stop this from happening again uncheck the enable cache-ing This should clear all of these viruses right off of your computer and stop this from happening again.
