Antivirus issues
Posted: Sat Dec 12, 2009 6:20 pm
About once a day on realgm, my comp gets hit with a "alpha antivirus/anti antivirus" trojan... basically it makes make a fake imitation of your windows antivirus protection and then says your computer is infected with like 200 trojans and you need to register online to get rid of them. The aim is to get stupid people to give trojan sites their credit card number
Anyways whenever the "your computer is infected with trojans! Anti antivirus will scan your computer!" original message pops up, I just straight up log off and then it never gets on my computer.
At first I thought it was just randomized on different sites, but literally the last 10 times have all happened on RealGM. So my guess is some poster is a virus mole who spreads it through his avatar or sig. I will give a heads up to which threads it happens in when it does. Today it was "Has Anyone Seen This?" on the GB
