Trojan detected in Airnav forum

[ianmalc]

I too had this trojan message , I actually got 3 viruses on my computer but I dont know if it
came from the Airnav forum or not but I had to wipe my computer totally.
I did several Norton scans and it told me my computer was secure.

I had a problem last week after viewing this site.McAfee kept reporting ZeroAcess trojan & my browser kept redirecting,as with some trojans it gets worse when you google the name & makes it even more difficult to get a cure. Anyway I eventually tracked down a root killer TDSSKiller from Kaspersky Labs which removed it. Trust it works for others, here is the link, about half way down the page:

Wondering what AND's findings are following their response yesterday that:-
"We are having a look at this situation right now." and whether others are still getting warnings.
The latest one I got this morning is shown on the attached snip.
As before, I opened several sites before this one with no problems.

Further checks were done and following smf forum bug patches and server bug patches as well we haven't been able to find a cause of this yet. So far we have not found any viruses or code on the forum which has been exploited.

We are however keeping an eye on the situation.

I think I'll stay clear of here until further notice.

[AirNav Support]

Have had alerts on my Netbook running WIN7 (32bit), but have had no warnings on my WIN7 (64bit) PC. Alerts only occurred on the first visit before logn-in. After log-in no further virus alerts.

No problems for me for the last 2 days.  And access to the forum is back to its normal high speed whereas for the period of the alerts it was very sluggish.

Hi Development,

Don't want to appear pedantic or banging on about this, but not having had any alerts or warnings since the 19th, and assuming that as nobody else is reporting further problems the forum is now clean, what did you find to be the cause of the problem and are you satisfied the site is indeed now clean?
The reason I ask is because a relative of mine,  involved in 'nasties' removal for an IT company, who spent a lot of time cleaning and checking my machine whilst this situation was going on is interested to know.
As he says, recurring infections don't go away on their own so they must have been eliminated at source.

Regards,

syd

Hi Syd and ANDev, since the onset of my problems, I've persevered with installing Orange's free McAfee and let it work its magic - detected and removed innumerable Trojans, so much so I turned off the reporting screen, but I still keep going to Replica Handbags - they must know something about me that I don't!
