trojan

[Tom Strange]

I use Trend Micro... since Thursday PM I've been getting a pop up and quarantine "Trojan" alert... but only when I visit this GSC... doesn't happen any other place...

anyone else?

It doesn't happen to me but if you want to try an anti-virus & spyware program for free try this one:

It really works. Download the professional trial version and see if it gets it. let me know. If you like it you can buy for $30.

Sorry for the alarm... it appears to only be happening on that laptop (I'm on my other one now)... but it's weird that it only happens when I'm at GSC...

They both have the full (purchased) version of Trend Micro which is supposed to be pretty good... so I guess it's an isolated problem...

I've turned in a 'work ticket' with them...

Thanks for your help OM!

I expect you're also using a firewall (not counting Windows)-there's free firewalls as well.

SpywareBlaster and Spybot have "immunization" functions that stop specific dangers from running on your pc.

Spybot and AdAware have scanners that can find problems for deletion.

And antiviruses, of course, allow one to protect the pc, AND run scans.

And if you want to scan for viruses without downloading something, you can always use an online antivirus scan.

Download MalwareBytes from www.malwarebytes.org and run a scan with that in Safe Mode.

Problem solved. :)
