I would like to bring your attention to a very scary Trojan, which
infected my PC [b]7 times already while serving many
forums in just one day. Anti-Virus software don't seemed to be able
to stop or detected at all, can't even scan for it. Had to use
Anti-spyware to sniff it out, don't even know your are
infected.
Trojan.StartPage.Gen
Only tell tale sign is when you are directed to another site, if
your computer security is low or you are not using a good
malware.
I could not log into those forums. Which made me curious. I checked
my firewall and found nothing wrong. I then Disable it .. also
nothing wrong. But when I disable all my anti-spyware programs,
only then I was directed to other advertising sites.
I usually gets it when I tried to login into forums. What
it does, is it embedds five entries into your computer registry,
whether you have an active anti-virus or anti-spyware program..
don't seemed to stop it.
Later, I found out that even downloading videos file, also will get
infected
BTW.. the free Ad-aware anti-spyware program don't work.\
So guys.. just giving you a heads up..
take care.

isn't malware suppose to be harmful???
and of course ad-aware doesn't remove it. its a trojan, not a
spyware. Anti-spyware programs don't function as Anti-virus
programs
disabling yr firewall and security programs are the worst thing you
can do. btw, can you list down yr security programs here?
USE FIREFOX!
forget about Internet Explorer, it allows those stupid activex
thingy and has so many loopholes you can easily get infected with
anything from adware to viruses.
