Just FYI guys, I just got about 20 articles of various Trojans, Viruses, Tracker Cookies and Malware from a little window on Evolutionm.net that said "Evolutionm.net requires a plugin to operate." And had a little button to download the plug-in, when clicked it downloads all that crap on your computer and shuts down all your programs and won't let you start any new programs or services. Just giving the heads up!

 

Hi,

We have had no other reports of such a problem. We'll keep this thread open should others see a similar problem. Thanks.

Bob..

 

Use combofix and malwarebytes to clean your computer. I'm an IT guy and these 2 tools do miracles.

Combofix - run it first in Safe Mode(when it asks you if you want to download Microsoft Recovery or something like this click NO, you don't need it). After it's done it will ask you to reboot, do so and let it go in normal mode. Once you log in normally run it again. When finished reboot again.
You can download it from here, it's free: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/down...virus/combofix

Malwarebytes - After you're done with Combofix download and install the free version from Malwarebytes.org. After install click on update tab and do the update, when finished run Full Scan. When the scan it's finished it will take to a windows that shows you everything it found. If it finds select everything it finds and click remove. It might ask you to reboot so it can remove some that are still running.


Good Luck!!!

 

What if this is a link to the malware? Someone else click this link and let us know

 

I had the same thing earlier today.. honestly i can't remember which page i was on however the section i was viewing was the wheels suspension secton. once it poped up windows security essentials said not to open it so i clicked alt f4 closed it all down. i haven't had anything else pop up.. this was about 2pm in the afternoon

 

I tried combo fix but as soon as I tried running it my avg thought it was a virus.

 

You have to run it in Safe Mode.

Or get rid of Windows and go with Linux(Ubuntu), no viruses at all!!!

 

I got the same popup the other night but knowing the page was displaying just fine I did not bother clicking... I'm sure it was a malware add served up through doubleclick or whomever the add service is.

 

no, your box just gets rooted instead

At the end of the day personal computer security is all about internetz common sense... never click something if you don't know what it is or why you are seeing it.

 

Agreed... if you don't know it don't click it..or open it.

I also work in IT...when the pop-ups shows up go into the task manager (CNTL + ATL +DEL) and kill allthe..

iexplore.exe running underneither processes tab. This way you don't click anything on the pop-up.

 

This was no run of the mill pop-up ad or something. It came up like plug-ins usually do in Mozilla and said I needed a plug-in to run something on EvoM and so I clicked to install plug-in like I've done many times for other plug-ins and it jacked my stuff up. I've already got everything fixed again, it's no problem anymore, just very annoying to have to start in safe mode and all.

 

If anyone sees that pop up, please get a screen capture. Thanks.

Bob..

 

Never heard of any Linux user getting their system rooted... But true about common sense.

 

Does this look like the pop up? Thanks.

Yes, that looks exactly like the pop-up I got.
