Hello to the Group, I wanted to advise everyone... one of my computers received a Trojan script netsky infection, from of all places a Yahoo Groups Banner Ad. I have/had all the pro- active McAfee Anti-Virus software installed, running and up to date.
I found the Norton Extraction tool, Ad Aware and a number of other popular Anti Virus tools don't even see this script, nor are they able to prevent it. You don't want to have your machine on the web once this Trojan is active and removing the worm has been a lot of work. McAfee can detect the Ad once it's on the machine after much, much, much homework I found the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Package has been the only one (so far) to be able to detect and clearly prevent this embedded code. virus HEUR Trojan Script iframe http://forum.kaspersky.com/lofiversion/index.php/t100452.html So, please understand you can receive a Trojan Virus just from the Banner Ads in your web browsers display. I'm not sure how this really bad compromise will be sorted out by various web sites... but for the individual I might suggest you ensure your anti-virus software is also installed into your web browser activity and that you ensure it is clearly able to deal with the mentioned compromise. cheers, skipp
