Security risk?

[AndThePickles]

Lately, when I log onto the Hype at work where I do not have an ad blocker installed, I get a pop-up from our security network saying that there is a security risk. Whatever it is is then quarantined, and requires a computer restart in order for the program to remove it. I was unfamiliar with the term describing the threat, and I can't remember what it was other than I think it started with a "v," sorry I'm not sure if it is an ad carrying a risk, or what. I only question the ads because I have not been getting a security risk pop up at home. Has anyone had any issues with a virus here?

As long as you didn't download anything you should be fine.

its malware, I had that at my work's computer just get someone who fixes your company's computer.

I found out the name, it was labeled as "trojan.vundo"

 

[Kane52630]

yeah, you need to get your computer fixed. If you download malwarebytes it can help but since its your works computer just ask a IT specialist that your work hires

I think that the security software is effectively removing it, but within the past few days, it tries to run itself on my computer almost every time I visit the Hype. Not sure if it was something a site owner needed to know about.

You may still need to contact your IT Dept/Help Desk to get 2nd level to look at it and effectively remove the Vundo. It can be a pain to remove and keep popping up even if your companies Antivirus says it removed it.
