Malware alert

Using IE 6.0 I get it every time I log in, but my Virus Protection gets it. I just now logged in using Firefox 2.0 and I do not have any issues.

Maybe Snowest made a deal with Firefox to get us all to use it instead of IE?

Still wish they would fix it.

I'm running Vista Business edition, IE7, Avast Free Edition.

What folder is the trojan residing in? C:\Windows\System32 ?

Like I said before I haven't noticed anything. I'll run a scan tonight and see what I find.

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{202550A8-7A33-4BCA-9586-051D24DDBF8F}\RP940\A0119346.dll

Firefox

So has anyone who uses Firefox had this virus? I haven't had any issues and I use firefox.

I switched from IE to firefox about a year ago, will never go back to IE. No issues here with SnoWest!

Yep, most viruses hide in system32. Delete that folder and all the viruses go with it

That should just be a System Restore file.

So when is the new thread about how to recover windows after deleting system32 going to be started?

Videos Section

When I click on the videos section, all I get are different adds for drugs and other crap. Anyone else have same problem?

No issues with firefox 3.0 either -vista ultimate and eset smart security. I'm afraid to try ie7.

Had to go check that out and that's all I got too. Snowest must have gotten hacked or spammed/fished to death.

[xrated]

I don't even have any anti-virus and no issues (that I know of)

I'm still with Tom only I use explorer....does it make a difference being logged in all the time? Oh and I skip that pexky home page too. One click to many for my taste.

I cleaned out my temp files the other day like someone said to do to be safe though.

ZoneAlarm caught it the first time. Infection is named Backdoor.Win.Small.flb in C:\Program Files\wsv.exe. I saw it first in the temporary internet files folder when the warning came up along with the dialog box about Address Book. Coudn't delete it but it is quarantined.
