Trojan on Titan Network

[Paladin]

The last couple of days when I have logged into the Titan Network, to check the Forums, and get an update on CIT/CGT, my security programs have detected, and elimnated a Trojan.  I just wanted to make you aware of it.  I am presuming it is on your site/link. 

[SuckerPunch]

What pages, exactly?  This is the first I've heard of it on the actual Forum or Titan sites, and I can't find anything like that when I hit the pages.

[Voltaic Shock]

I haven't seen this.

I have been using multiple computers to get onto the forums too.

Just checking: You are using that crapware Norton, right? (The reason I ask is that someone on the official forums made pretty much the same complaint.)

If you are I'd get a better Antivirus (may I recommend Grisoft's free-AVG?) and uninstalling Norton, going to whoever sold you it and complain vehemently that they shouldn't be pawning off this <censored> on people that don't know better.

Also you might want to actually say which trojan was involved.

That's odd because I have Norton at home....yes, I am planning on getting rid of it when my sub expires, and I've not had this problem from any Titan Site...once we addressed the CIT / CGT issue of it anyway.

Right now, FF, IE6 and 7 yield no problems for me.

Yeah, I have Norton as well. They used to be pretty thorough. I'm most likely going with AVG once my subscription expires. I had the free version for a while, and it was finding things that Norton wasn't. I think I'll actually get their automatic subscription-based one this time, so I don't have to monitor it very closely.

The problem appears when Norton is set fairly high (novice user/super worried). At that point the heuristics go nuts.

It is bloatware and a system hog at the very least.

[Tazhyngarth]

AVG seems to be the one to use, and I really had no idea that Norton was a Hog, I probably just got used to the speed and never knew the difference.  Not that anything runs slow much at all on my PC.

Touche about the Settings, I can see that being the cause for sure.  Paladin, I am presuming that this is happening almost immediately once you Login and then click any Link on the Forums?  Which would mean the Tracking Cookie enabling itself is what your Norton is falsing accusing of being infected.

I use Zone Alarm, which has worked well for me in various versions for at least 10 years.  However, it is my Microsoft : "Live One Care" that has been telling me it detects, then deleats a :"Trojan redirector" 

I've not really had any problems with Live One Care.  I've had no virus, no pop ups even.  Although I mostly go to CoH, us.army.mil, and my Yahoo Fantasy Sports, and my email accounts, oh and the Royal Navy webring; none really prone to viruseskeyloggers, or worms. 

Does that help in identifying if there is actually a Trojan lurking on the Titan Network main page?

[SuckerPunch]

I can tell you with 100% certainty there is no virus on the homepage.

[Voltaic Shock]

Can you tell us which trojan it is saying?

I can install Live One Care and see what happens.

Um, that's an M$.....there's your Trojan :-p....btw, that seems to be a really crappy piece  of code :-p

I agree with this to a degree.

I just want to see what is happening and then maybe send them the Trojan they are finding and tell this it's a false alarm.

Mids came across this from someone who downloaded his Planner, the Anti-Virus Program was called Kaspersky and the "Virus" was Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Joiner.dy.  It too was a false alarm, different source, but similar event.

This is true. They were very quick to take care of it when I contacted them about it, too.

I don't see MS doing it that fast - lol
