So um I got hit by a torjan.
The only thing on my entire laptop that was loading anything was a Firefox tab open to the playing games forum (or one of the other sub forums I forget now). Suddenly I got a pop up about needing an older version of Java to run whatever which I knew right away was a bad sign and should never happen on this site. I canceled that then about 10 seconds later Firefox shut down and Vista Security Home 2012 shows up saying I have a trojan. Long story short I've dealt with this enough in terms of my Dad's computer to know exactly how to get rid of it, which I did. Now I'm not absolutely positive where it came from or how it got on my computer but I do know a couple of things:
1) I never clicked a download link anywhere 2) The only page that was loading was for NPF Just throwing this out there as a heads up that someone might be doing something hinky with the ad banner or something. |
