fh1805 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Igor,The forum website has become re-infected with a trojan again. This morning I was once again asked if I wanted to download some Remote Data Control software allegedly from Microsoft Corporation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightec Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Peter/IgorI have had the same experience as yesterday, on startup of PTE I was told by Norton that a TROJAN HORSE had been stopped. This is after I followed Peter's suggestion yesterday and deleted all of the Temporary Internet files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I just sent again a request to Invision.I'm sorry about this problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightec Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 IgorYou will need to do something fairly quickly, I have just experienced another TROJAN HORSE alert, this time something called 'ODTHTIUH' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fh1805 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Mike,Just out of curiosity... what Norton product do you use? I, too, use Norton (Internet Security 2008) and it has never given me any alerts in a pop-up window. All I see is a pop-up banner in the IE window just below the tool bars with the warning message about the so-called Microsoft software. Thankfully I'm savvy enough in IT to know that you don't touch these things, not even with a barge pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightec Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 PeterI have been using Norton Internet Security 2003 for a number of years and regularly update and maintain. The way in which it imforms me is as per the thumbnail below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I've contacted to Invsion and they said that they cured this problem:Please check and make sure this is no longer happening. We have just identified and fixed the problem that was causing viral popup notifications for some users.IPS Support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fh1805 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks for the info, MikeI guess the behaviour difference between your machine and mine must be down to a combination of the differences between Norton Internet Security 2003 on what looks like Windows XP (your machine) and Norton Internet Security 2008 on Vista (my machine).Like you, I keep my protection files up-to-date - and the full scan at the weekend found nothing amiss. I also use Advanced WindowsCare Personal on a regular basis (about once per week) after Brian Conflow gave it a good report in one of his posts. It sometimes catches the occasional "malware" items that have slipped through Norton's normally secure grasp.I firmly believe it is vital to have a layered defense on PCs these days.Interestingly, I subscribe to another forum that uses Invision to power it and have had no trouble there. I wonder if Igor's site is being specifically targetted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
