Virus on GenesReunited

[wayfareralone]

How many people have experienced virus infection on GR in the last few days?

I only logged on, did nothing else and security came up but the trojan was with me!

Have also seen a warning to be wary of FriendsReunited to at the moment.

Me too - earlier this afternoon

all I did was log on, up popped Norton -

however, it seems to have cleared it out, as it said, and I've run a clear scan since.

I logged on a got a virus warning - but not from my virus scanner.

I think it's a pop-up add for another virus scanner, and it "warns" you of a non-existent virus, in an attempt to make you buy it. Irritating.

Meles - how odd

The warning I got came from Norton, and he went ahead and fixed it - doesn't need to try and persuade me to buy it - already got it!

I got nothing at all, so either its been sorted or my virus checked - AVG - checked it and dealt with it without letting me know

My security showed it up as definitely there and renamed it!

I have now heard of quite a few other people experiencing the same and slightly different variations.

[wayfareralone]

How will we know, for sure, when its safe to log on again??  That is what I am wondering.

I got a message from my virus protection saying they had deleted a trojan from that site too.  Its odd that GR would not have the same.

My son has AVG and says if it didn't alert you it was because it didn't have a problem, therefore it seems probable that it was those of us who logged on early that hit it and by the time later people got there GR had dealt with it
