Thats just asking for trouble.

Actually the computer froze when I hit the site. Pulling the plug would have been the smart thing to do, but I was busy talking on the phone before I realized I was totally locked out. Even then, those applications and worms aren't very big. In fact they are all suspiciously small.

I been running activeX on prompt for 6 months now and choosing no activeX, unless I know the site. I rarely get shut out of a site and it replaces the ads with Action canceled blurb

ukulele...Any chance you could post your AV log.
Did it include any of these
555[1].ani TR/Exploit.MS05-02.Ani.A; VERIFIERBUG[1].CLASS; DUMMY[1].CLASS; BLACKBOX[1].CLASS; TR/Java.ByteVerify.3!; TR/Java.ByteVerify!; TR/Spy.Banker.EK.5

I actually find this game interesting...that is until I find 1 over my head

I cleaned the worst offenders manually. Some of them were package.exe, bloodhound.exe, search.exe, ykyvrd.exe, ynykto.exe, bargainbin.exe, farmmext.exe,cashback.exe, dw.exe, hhxrhx.exe, ...a few more I can't remember. The rest were adware and cookies. Apparently the site got paid to get past windows firewall and all the protection software and then dump all that stuff in a package that it would dump in the registry. Using msconfig to stop the programs at startup was usless and deleting the programs manually from the system32 file didn't work as they were running. Finally I realized that when you opened the task manager you could delete them by stopping the tree first and then deleting the exe file. I found them all by listing ther contents of system32 first by type then by date. Once I knew the file name I would use find in regedit and delete their keys. As you might guess it took a while.

Thanks ukulele

No time now and I'll open new thread later

One of the reasons I asked about the attack, is that, I believe the new assaults will be geared toward stealing financial info.
And like a pickpocket crew that distract when cleaning you out, these new combined attacks will seek to draw your attention away from scanning/spy for financial info.

It must be something like I caught last night. I was researching the work of Hung Liu who is a prominant Chinese American artist for my art class and I clicked on another Liu who is a model. The page was not porn or even linked to porn sites but suddenly my computer went crazy with popups and froze solid for 15 minutes while it sucked up muck on the net. A search tool bar was installed along with half a dozen other nasties. Before I could get my AV and the herd of other anti spy apps updated that we need now, thanks to uncle Billy and his dream of world domination, I had 77 spyware clients, and and a couple of worms that hitched a ride. LOL!!! It took me two hours last night and an hour this morning to clean up the mess !!! God save us all 'cause nobody else is going to. Whatever that site was is a bomb waiting to happen. Whatever I picked up blocked spy blaster, spybot and adware, not to mention the new adware definitions Norton now has in it's database. When it happened it first asked if I wanted to install a viewer or something and of course I said no. What a crock that was. It was obviously a new virus that opens the gate for a whole herd more of them while blocking your defenses. Just watch your backside boys and girls if you leave active x running like I did.

Allways always 'x' out of those popup screens.
Simplest trick in the world.
Switch the Button actions but leave the button names alone.

Yes is 'no'.

No is 'YES'

When Al-Gore invented the internet I bet he didn't envisage this nonsence

[herosrest]

time for a beer l think. **** - i'm still smiling that one.

Yes, thank you very much Herorest. I know that yes means no and no means yes. Problem is that the the computer froze and then the damned phone rang. To make matter worse, none of the 50 billion updates I have gone through trying to get this lame windows OS to work did not help either.

I think it's time you switched to a Mac or learn to run Linux so you will stop whining about windows.

Or at least run a real Anti-Virus such as Kaspersky, AVG, or AntiVir.......Guaranteed Kaspersky would have blocked them. Most of those were trojans that slammed you according to my research & we all know Norton has no idea what Trojans are.

Please give me the page you hit as I would love to test this with my testbed.

[ukulele]

Sorry, I cleared history and internet caches already. I had kaspersky loaded for three weeks in November and early December. You don't know what you are talking about either, and I 'll wine about windows as long as it's the only main stream OS that I want to use. It's a free country and you are free to move on if you don't like it. I have AVG loaded on my laptop and it's no better then Nortons either. Spare me the BS. Besides I don't really care anyway I keep triple backups and know how to fix Windows open door policy OS. Later.

[intimidator]

Looser? Uhhhh OK.

You are a backyard tech.

Definition: One who fixes 2-3 systems per week based on referrals from family & friends.

I fix 8-15 per day 5-6 days per week. I may not know it all when it comes to computers but no one does.

My opinion of Norton is based off of every day testing while working on the bench. Norton is inferior to the programs I already listed as well as Panda, Nod32 & the list goes on.

My tech machine is loaded with 8 different programs, only Kaspersky is active. I hook hosed drives up on the secondary chain all day long.

Usually I have 4 PC's reloading which is the way we fix hosed machines as it is much faster & the system is 100% guaranteed to be free of virus.

While in the middle of that I usually decide to experiment with actually cleaning systems. You have no idea how many times I have scanned with Norton & found absolutely nothing........Then free AVG finds 3600 infected files (Agent, Revop,Psyme & some dialers).

I swear, this was actually a drive I scanned today. Pretty said if you ask me. You need the volume I see every day & then you would see the light. I used to be a big Norton fan also, but its reign as King is long over.

Symantec is junk except for ghost but Acronis is superior to that as well.

So where's my link????

Also, If you ran firefox which has no activex you might not have gotten popped either.

what's a "pop up"?
