Trojan in forums! FYI
Or something of that nature...
All last week and this week while in forums I get a pop up saying I have malware etc etc and starts scanning ( or pretends to ) my pc at work...
I always try to x out about 3 times not pressing the buttons [cancel] or [ok].
I seem to shut it down succesfully but there is an exe program trying to get into my pc only fromthis site......
Just FYI

The site does not contain any trojans. It's very possible that the popup you are seeing is the malware itself. A common tactic with rootkits such as Antivirus 2009 is to show you a warning that you have malware. Once you click on the scan you effectively give it permission to install itself into the Windows kernel. I would recommend running a scan with a program called Malwarebytes Antimalware. It does a good job of removing programs such as that.

Here are some screen shots of the malware!
I think it may have been inserted to my pc while clicking one of the links in forums.
It took me to some russian girl on a bed looking for a date or something. I remeber seeing the guy banned after that!
beware all who have looked at it....

Thanks!
A little better than that though is....
I work for a government agency,,, it hosed my hard drive, the popups blocked every option, you couyldnt delete, stop the process or initialize spybot etc.
They removed my hard drive and bla bla bla.
however it popped up a ****o message which didnt go over to easily with the superiors.
