No more alerts for me now. Or have I spoken too soon?
Do not focus on making money; focus on protecting what you have.

Quoting Why Oh Why
Used it yesterday melpheos when the attack happened. It got stuck and I had to reboot. Also it just doesn't handle some of my regular websites I visit as well as IE7. Display issues - particularly on some embedded stream windows. I've turned my alerts off now so browsing is back to normal. Bullguard is still blocking though - 5 every time. Anyone know how I can change my displayed posts back to 30 - multi threads like this one appear blank after the first page? I'm not getting an answer elsewhere and apparantly that resolves the issue.

I only got here by clicking reply on the first page then seeing the page 2 comments below the reply box.
Yes, had the same issue... As i said in an earlier post, the trojan horse might be sending the js module of Firefox into a loop causing drastic slow down but disabling javascript solve this issue

It's not exactly the same issue. With IE you are potentialy subject to receive virus/trojan. With Firefox, this is not possible but navigation is very slow and PC is slowed down.

Which antivirus program are you guys using? I checked for updates on my antivirus and did a scan. The scan came up with nothing found. Now I am wondering if I have the virus but its not being detected.

I had the same happen. No virus attack, that I know of, but I wasn't allowed to access the site without inputing my username and password. And none of them worked. I guess I should change my password here just in case.

The username and password box that you had come up were the site being brought down to stop the virus being spread. The admins took it to admin login only to try to remove/fix it after the attack.

That's awesome that the admins were on top of this so quickly.

Question for you computer "experts" out there. What is the point of hackers dropping in a virus that will cause spotty internet browsing etc.? Is it just to be annoying or is there something more sinister at work here?

No virus here. Using Firefox and McAfee. I did scan the whole system, no viruses found.
