Author Topic: Virus, Through GTM (Read 18581 times)

Yesterday my computer was ATTACKED by a virus.

I called up some friends of mine, and the virus came through a portal from this webites. Got a bunch of different types of KeyLoggers, Artemis', Trojans, and various other viruses that swamped my system.

Not a complaint, just trying to inform everybody, as well as the administrators, because it is obvious that we have had trouble with spambots as of late as well.

All the viruses, and their source, were directed from GTM.

That's odd. I'm running a full scan now just in case. If I find anything like what you said, I'll post what I find.

When i tried to shut down my computer, there was a program called "Ribbons" that was running. After i shut my comp down, i restarted and ran a full scan. nothing found.

Viruses don't attack.....you have to open/run them. Never open/run anything you don't know about even if it is sent by what looks like somebody you know....like the post office, UPS and government, there are several going around right now..

I've never seen any redirections or other out-of-character behavior from the gametechmods' website or this forum... In order for you to catch a virus from visiting the forums, javascript or other forms of activescript would need to be enabled in order for them to inject a malicious script that would automatically execute a virus or trojan... My guess is that you already had some kind of virus/trojan that injected the malicious code into your browser, this is a very common behavior. Lot's of trojans/viruses will inject malicious code into the website you are visiting using javascript or invisible iframes, I would suggest upgrading to firefox and using the noscript plugin if you have not done so...

The website at gametechmods.com contains elements from the site viorfjoj-2.com, which appears to host malware – software that can hurt your computer or otherwise operate without your consent.

well that explains why my laptop just blocked a virus that supposedly came from here

I haven't had a message as such yet, but should we do anything about this?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #11 on:** July 23, 2009, 06:41:06 AM »

just regularly update your virus protection and do a scan once a day.. you can set them to be auto on most computers

Weirdo · « **Reply #12 on:** July 23, 2009, 06:45:09 AM »

I actually meant is there anything that can be done about stopping the virus from coming through GTM -if that makes sence- but if not then... yeah.

Thanks for the tip anyway JB.
