I tried to open the post titled "Exploit-URLSpoof.gen" from
"phx1hab" and my AV found this to try and launch a trojan.
It is in the Windows NT/200/XP section and was posted on April 14, 2004.
Should this post be removed??!!

Im pretty sure its not a real trojan, its a link that looks like it goes to one site, but send you 2 another (seen it on a joke site about microsoft)

Yes that was me, still getting it there too, so I'm staying away

The fact I'm not running a virus program at the moment may have something to do with it




Let me install one and test it Lol, what I don't do for you people

[AcaCandy]

Just tested on hubby's computer He's running McAfee and it cried? Something trying to go to temp directory. Chose to delete.......Strange one.

What virus programs are you guys running that sees it?

[dai]

just normal when i clicked on it

I am the original poster that reported the problem. I am running Mcafee AV and as soon as I opened the post the AV cried out in pain. Temp, restore points and several other areas of the OS (XP Pro). I restored my system back a few days in order to be sure to remove all.

McAfee

Hmmm...wonder if Norton finds it. Hmmm......let me install Norton on my XP machine.......again

[AcaCandy]

If you don't hear from me soon, I'm lost in Norton Hell

Your last post was 1:18pm, it's now 3:34pm. That's why I use McAfee

My version is 4.5 but I'm going to put 7 on in my *spare* time. I'll have to check that site again then and see what happens. McAfee just reports it to be malicious html code so I'm not really worried about it, I just don't like the little bug thing that comes up.

[AcaCandy]

Well, I have bigger problems than Norton at the moment. I had to do a reinstall of XP, but Norton was on that partition, but it doesn't show from the start/programs, so I figured I'd be cute and just reinstall it.......no go.....it's not happy....so I'll have to do a manual uninstall. I use McAfee on half my systems and Norton on the other half, usually both work well unti I start playing around like this Like I said, this is my test machine, so format c: is always an option

AcaCandy, there is another thread in the Windows XP forum I think. I replied to that one. Just to let you know.

As for the post, I have Norton and I have replied to that post a lot and had no problems... though I was on a MAC at 99% of the time....
