paloffs Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 So this isn't a quiet virus? If we got it, we'd know it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvtbred Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 So this isn't a quiet virus? If we got it, we'd know it? Yes it seems to be limited to those of us who were lucky enough to visit while it was being exposed by the site. My Mac didn't even burp with it but the Windows laptop was not so lucky. You would know it but running a virus scan is always a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Williams Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 This issue is gone but ppl are still in a panic hahaha --- If you went to the redskins.com page yesterday update your mcAfee/Norton/avira whatever and run a full scan..... Webroot and/or SW DR can find it too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have much faith in my anti virus picking up on anything big though. I had a trojan virus once, but Norton didn't bleep a word about it. But that's my own insecurity problem.

I had a trojan virus once, but Norton didn't bleep a word about it. But that's my own insecurity problem. Anytime, it was limited and it was obvious something happened immediately on my end. Others might have different experiences though. Ad-Aware is good but I searched the web for this one and came up with Avira which was on it immediately. The other issues are just registry key issues and I have spent enough time "playing" with it so I will just re-image. You can also restore by going back before the infiltration.

turbodiesel#44 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Get Avast! for home use. It is free forever if you register. And registration is free as well. Been using Avast since the first beta. One of the best and lightest. And free for home use. Put it on at least 75 computers already. No complaints.Edit:but that doesn't excuse this IMO. And I would recommend Firefox as a far safer browser than IE, with a couple strategic add-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone that had this issue can't open Task manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL) I have found a work around to get that operational again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Dan designed a worm that is sent to your computer when you access Skins.com. Once on your computer, it automatically orders you jersey's for Jason Taylor, Brandon Lloyd, Arch Deluxe, TJ Duckett, Deion Sanders, Jeff George and Bruce Smith. All Authentics.

Running Malwarebytes as recommended above. Avira grabbed it right away. I think it's all gone but not sure because the McAfee virus scan I am running keeps locking up now. To be safe we are going to start from scratch. Clean the whole thing and re-image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
