Trojan?


Question Posted Friday July 18 2008, 8:51 pm

Hey Theymos, it's Laura [Laugh_Out_Loud_x0x]. I know you know a lot about computers, so I figured you're definitely the person to go to for help when I need it.


Anyways, today I was on the Internet doing nothing out of the ordinary, on the same sites I am on everyday when this popped up:

Then, I tried to go to my Advicenators forum and this came up: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)


I know nothing about Trojans or whatever, so is this something I should worry about? I restarted my computer and now I'm able to get on Advicenators [obviously] and that message hasn't popped up since, but is there something I need to do to get whatever that is off of my computer?



Thanks!

-Laura.

The first one is McAfee reacting badly to one of Advicenators' advertisements. It's happened a few times here in the past. It's not actually a trojan, just something that McAfee mistook as one. If it happens very often, contact DN with all the Advicenators files in your quarantine, and he'll have the ad removed.

The second one is a problem on Advicenators' end.

The problems are not related, and they're nothing to worry about.
