Title: Trojan warning - Video Hits comps - maybe?
Post by: Flobberdob on Tuesday 27 October 2009, 06:47:52 am
http://compingclub.com/index.php?topic=132814.0 - video hits michael buble comp - also the vanessa amarosi one

Not sure if this is legit or not, but when I tried to enter this today, my virus program stopped me getting there because of an infected link that my quick google research may says contain a porn trojan.

This is the message I got :

While trying to retrieve the URL:

http://videohits.com.au/vanessa-amorosi.
htm

The following error was encountered:

The requested object is INFECTED with the following viruses: HEUR:Trojan.Script.Iframer



Will research more & see what I come up with.  Other video hits comps have been fine.  Tiesteo was fine

edit - now I am unable to access video hits at all for same reason

seems to have hit a few other websites recently - still not sure if its a false block or not.  Some mention google banner ads being the problem, others say its nothing, some say its very very serious :scratch:  Has anyone else's virus software detected anything?

I just entered the videohits comps, and it worked fine for me, my antivirius didn't pick anything up!

thanks jayjes - I use kaspersky.  Some have said that this is one of the only programs that will find it?  I dunno - the more I look the more confused i get :D

I'm using Mcafee and have never had a problem with it, and yer I agree the more you google the more confusing it gets...lol

Probably just a false positive :)

Thanks for the heads up though.

The reason why others might not be picking up an issue may be because you have Heuristic Scanning active, whereas the others might not! (Your clue:HEUR:Trojan.Script.Iframer)
It's a different form of virus scanning and is capable of detecting probs where signature-based detection does not. Having said that, I sense the prob (if there is one) is not so much to do with the actual site itself. I sometimes find that Heuristic scanning gives me the odd red herring.....

I have also picked up a trojan horse generic 15xxz, I'm pretty sure its from a comping site dowlnoad but not sure which one, in the last day or so.  I use AVG, trouble getting rid of it
