Malicious Attack Site....

I found two that were old Java based exploits and since hardly anyone uses actual java applets that much and since my Java version was updated since to the point the exploits were defunct, whatever was here did not latch on anywhere. Maybe because I never use Internet Explorer.

I first noticed something was up when I clicked on a link for some hotel and it said my Java wasn't up to date. I used GC.

I have tested positive for a Trojan received from Pattayatalk.com. Pattayatalk.com is usually running on my Chrome browser. Have no recollection of clicking any links or downloading anything. My computer/Windows 7 runs a full scan daily.

 

Detected item. Alert level. Date. Action taken

The IE5 is interesting...

I was infected by a nasty piece of Malware on July 4th. I wasn't able to remove it and it took complete control of my system and demanded a credit card to remove the damage. I had to get a professional to remove it. Mcaffee and spybot search & destroy did not help. Apparently Malwarebytes was able to detect it.

That is scary stuff!

Yes, indeed, but that didn't come from this site.

Yes, indeed, but that didn't come from this site.

I can't prove where it came from, but it happened right when I clicked on forums. In any event it seems to be safe now.

It may be unrelated but:-

 

I keep having advert web pages just appear - which I delete.

Nothing apparently via Pattaya Talk.

When I try to access Secrets website chrome just tells me it cannot connect to the site. Has anyone else had this problem?

This for three days.

I've tried an Advanced System Care scan, Supra anti spyware scan and have Windows Essentials up to date and working.

Anyone else who cannot open Secrets?

Thanks in advance

The last couple days my computer has frozen up several times. Screen is still there but mouse will not respond. Have had to do a hard reboot to get it going. By holding down off/on switch till it shuts off.

 

I finally figured out it was freezing up during the middle of a deep scan by security. It would not freeze up during a quick scan. After a quick scan completed the was no indication of the virus. I have just managed to get it to complete a full scan.

 

And our little friend has returned. Show the same date but added at the end of the string is after the .htm

I shoul clarify. Since the original problem I have been using my iPad to browse Pattayatalk Talk. Not the infected computer. So I was not infected again from browsing PT.

 

It would seem that it never was truly deleted. Scary stuff. Makes me nervous about banking online.

I had problems with Chrome on both the PT and Secrets' site for a few days. I updated to the latest version of Java and everything was back to normal. I had disabled the automatic updates for Java, so I was running a older version. Don't know if that was the entire problem, though.
