So far nothing has been found. Scans currently turn up nothing, and I can not detect that the computer is trying to do anything that I do not expect it to do. Luckily I actually run a nonstandard configuration on my windows machine. I don't use the "My Documents" folder for much anything. Thus when this 'virus site' implied it was scanning and detecting thousands of files with viruses in the "My Documents" folder, I was pretty confidant it was just an animation meant to fool people into accepting the tool being offered. What really got my goat was how well the site prevented a user from closing or navigating away from it. But there was no obvious downloads. And as I said nothing yet detected. We also got our monthly patches last night so hopefully the system is as up to date as possible. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
