You guys have a virus problem on the board

[Charlie The Red]

With each page I load, firefox tells me that it's opening "xpl.wmf" with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer." BitDefender pops up every time and tells me it's blocking an Explot.Win32.WMF-PFV trojan. What's the deal here, guys?

McAfee's telling me the same thing, 2 Trojans, Exploit ANIfile & Exploit EMF

Charlie the red. I've created a thread in the community about this.
And you are correct, it doesn't download in Opera or on a Mac or Linux

I am getting the same things as well every time I open a page.

[Noir]

I prefer not to answer these questions.
I hate the term Hacker by the way, its over used.

I only asked if there was anyway to get rid of it.

I believe it may have been taken care of already.

 

[Reek]

you believe wrong its still popping up on mine.

 

[Noir]

Really?

I suggest you quarintine with your virus software.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

It just came back up on mine as well. And I also see that dot before the logo that is not there when there is no problem.

 

[Reek]

norton says its blocking it. so im assuming i cant get it

 

[Noir]

Nothing in the source but your right.. I'm not getting the pop-up, but I can see the dot of death again.

 

[Reek]

dot?what dot?

 

[Noir]

look at the bottom left hand corner of Hype in the logo.. see the greyish 2x2 pixel box?

 

[Reek]

nope, no box

Yesterday when the Hype was down, I got one of those script virus pop-ups from McAfee but it got rid of it. This morning I scanned my computer, and it happened again.

My comp was seriously infested. I spent all day Sunday fixing it and then they tell me on Monday that THEY were the source of the prob. I didn't think it was possiblt to get viruses simply by visiting a wep page.

Clean your history, I used CCleaner and start all over and no problems

and McAfee sucks use AVGfree and sypbot search and destroy
