1 Report	Brad S at 10 Feb 2008: 20:38 Well...for some strange reason every time I load the Female image boards, my virus protector says that a trojan has been removed. hat means that there is something on the site that is downloading trojans onto people's computers whenever they just loa the Female board. I hope you admins can fix this because I would hate to see thousands of people getting destructive trojans on their computers just from using the boards... O.o

5 Report	Brad S at 11 Feb 2008: 20:14 Umm...anyone know how to add a pic to the discussion boards? I have picture proof of the trojan. It may just be my protector acting up but I'm not sure...
6 Report	at 11 Feb 2008: 21:09 >>5 You can't post a picture on the discussion boards..And it's not affecting me and i'm assuming lots of other people as well, so it may just be your system..

8 Report	Brad S at 11 Feb 2008: 22:29 It's just wierd since this laptop is a Vista and I got it only like a month or so ago. My McAfee software must be thinking that this site is trying to download a trojan when it really isn't... o.o I'll upload the pic on a photo-sharing site or something and post the link.
9 Report	Brad S at 11 Feb 2008: 22:34 OK, here's the link: http//s67.photo/... I think you can see what it's names, etc. I also noticed that the name is the same each time. :P Anyway, I'm sure it's just something that's messed up in the McAfee software or something. :-P
10 Report	at 11 Feb 2008: 22:54 I've just searched my machine for a file similar to the one in the dialog in the picture. Didn't find anything in my temps, or anywhere at all. PS, uninstall those toobars. :D Run Adaware and Spybot too.
11 Report	at 12 Feb 2008: 02:02 >>9 http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_135834.htm Specifically: ----- Several cases have been reported to AVERT as potential incorrect identifications of JS/Wonka, which turned out to be accurate hits. These observations were typically made upon visiting hacked web pages. These hacked pages have an IFRAME inserted that point to an external website containing malware such as Exploit-Codebase, Exploit-ANIFile, W32/Dumaru.gen, and Exploit-MhtRedir.gen. This is a generic detection for highly obfuscated JavaScript. The signature is based on specfic characteristics of the encryption. Because this is a generic detection there is no specific description of the activity undertaken by JavaScript detected under this name, however these can include malicious activity such as downloading and executing files. ----- So it's a bogus detection because the file probably had "obfuscated" javascript. Just another reason I don't bother with antivirus I suppose. It just isn't worth it.
12 Report(capped)	Xenofur at 12 Feb 2008: 10:08 first off, if you're actually worried about security. get off IE. due to its market share most exploits are targeted at its specific bugs and an alternate browser like opera or firefox is far less likely to be targeted. secondly, your AV is crying wolf. adbrite's advertisement system uses some rather complex javascript techniques and it seems your av got caught on those and thinks it's something malicious. "js/wonka" is the signature for that, it means in layman's speak: "this is not a virus, but boy howdy does it look odd to me."
13 Report	Brad S at 12 Feb 2008: 17:18 OH, ok thanks. I usually use Firefox, but I was being lazy. XD I was just worried that everyone here would end up getting some sort of virus or something and they would stop coming here. That would end up ruining the site since noone would be posting... o.O
14 Report	Yuki Hishinuma at 14 Feb 2008: 03:17 Thank you Brad i put up a warning on this too about the linl in [male] the cute cpuples but looks like no one else was eleving me so im glade to see this up ^^
