Fantasy B-ball problem.
« on: September 19, 2007, 11:45:57 PM »
Signed up and tested my online draft ability, I was directed to download a plug-in and it set off a trojan virus warning.  Or maybe it was THIS site with a virus again.

WoW, being in IT I expected a slightly better description of the problem and a way to recreate it.  "I was directed to download a plug-in".  What page were you directed to?  What plug-in?  Narrow down which page gave you the warning.  i.e. go only to the forum.  then close the browser, go only to download the plug-in.

FYI, sites don't "get a virus".  They get hit with a SQL injection exploit, which then remotely includes code that contains a trojan.  99 times out of 100, there's never a trojan on the site.

I'm not running either Windows or IE, so I'm going to need a little help here.  I did search through the html output of the site, and didn't see anything being included.

I just figured everyone else would get the same warning like last time so I didn't go into details.

I was directed to www.java.com to download a plug in.  Tried it and got a trojan virus warning when I was downloading the plug in.  I've added a few anti-virus programs since then and will try again tommorow when I get back into town.
