Trojan Virus Warning

[shado]

Whilst browsing on this forum at 2254 - not logged in my antivirus encountered a Trojan virus. Don't know if it is relevant to this site but just a warning to the moderators if they can sweep for it on their site.

Luckily mine was quaranteed.

Almost entirely certainly not site-related...

Great, I wasn't sure if it was from here and it is better to warn other users in case they are browsing with it switched off.

More likely to be something you've downloaded from elsewhere...

possibly, I am doing a full virus scan of my system.

Thanks aliEnRIk, luckily the Virgin version which I think is Kaspersky did its job and nothing else was detected. Just goes to show how important Firewall and other associated Internet security programms are?

If we were to speculate on viruses then I wonder if some are created by the very companies who provide protection against them? It would make sense from a business point of view...... hmm!

I certainly wouldnt put it past them. Most markets are corrupt in some way or other
